Why Glimpse

You sent the quote. Did they read it? Glimpse answers that one question — and works hard to make sure the answer is true.

1. An open means a person opened it

Every email tracker uses the same trick: a tiny invisible picture. When the reader's email app loads it, the tracker knows. The problem is that the picture also loads when you look at your Sent copy, when Gmail preloads emails on a phone, and when a company's spam scanner checks a message. Glimpse leaves your own opens out on every device, marks preloads as “Maybe – preloaded”, and marks scanners and automatic loads as “Maybe” — so the alerts you get are worth acting on.

2. Nothing is added to your email

No logo, no “sent with” line, no ad. The person you wrote to sees exactly what you wrote.

3. The whole history, not just the first open

See every open with its time. When the reader's email app shares it, you also see the city and the kind of device. Opened five times this morning? That's a hot lead — and Glimpse can tell you.

4. It's where you work

The Glimpse Android app gives you a full inbox with tracking built in. The Chrome add-on tracks what you send from Gmail on your computer. The website shows everything on any computer. One account, the same results everywhere.

5. See who tracks you

Glimpse also marks emails you receive when the sender is tracking opens — so you know before you open.

6. Your AI assistant, tracked too

If you write emails with an AI assistant, connect Glimpse to it once, and the emails it sends for you are tracked too. It is available now.

7. Honest about what it can't do

No tracker can see a read when pictures are blocked, and some apps load pictures by themselves. We list every limit we know about in plain words on our FAQ. If you know the limits, you can trust the results.
