Any and all feedback welcome. Happy to take any questions.

#4What's the difference with just checking your email 3 times per day? Personally, I've been checking my email before I start working in the morning, right after lunch, and before I finish my day.
I have the luxury that none of my emails are "urgent" (i.e. I don't work in Customer Support), so I disabled email notifications and just take a look whenever I want.
I'm a little confused as to why one would need such a service.

What about privacy? Do you access users email?

My guess? The point is basically to create an aid to break your addiction. Why don't people just stop smoking? Why don't you just decide not to pull out your phone? Why don't you just put down that donut? Sometimes, we need an extra shove or hurdle to break bad habits.

How did you achieve this with GAS?
Did you stash incoming emails in a folder/tag and re-added them to the inbox on a schedule?

Yeah, exactly. Create a Gmail filter to filter them into a hidden Gmail label. And then at the chosen times, move them into the inbox

Certainly not. Gmail API let's you work with just message ids. Never accesses content, ever. Super important.
