Vidi adds WhatsApp-style read receipts right inside your inbox. Works across Gmail, Yahoo Mail and Outlook.com. Completely silent — it never stamps a "sent with" signature, so your recipient never knows. Perfect for anyone sending emails that matter.
I built Vidi because of that specific low-grade anxiety after sending an email that matters... a job application, a client proposal, etc. Did they open it? Are they ignoring me or did it get buried?
I wanted something that worked the way WhatsApp's ticks do — quietly, instantly readable, across every inbox I actually use (Gmail, Outlook and Yahoo).
So Vidi injects the ticks straight into your email client: grey when sent, two green when opened. No dashboards to check, no signatures, nothing the recipient sees.
It's $1.99/month right now as launch pricing (it'll rise later) with a 30-day free trial. Would genuinely love your feedback — especially on the tick design and anything that feels off.
Finally something useful for confirming whether a client actually opened my proposal email. Loved that it runs silently in the background without cluttering my sent folder.
read receipts without the weird "sent with vidi" line is genuinely clever, my recipients wont know im checking. set it up with my gmail in like a minute and the little checkmarks just appeared
Does it work with email clients other than web Gmail/Yahoo/Outlook, like Apple Mail or the native iOS mail app?
Finally got those read receipts I was looking for without anyone knowing I'm tracking them. The silent integration with Gmail actually works as advertised.
