Why Vidi exists
Vidi is a small, focused product with one job: tell you the moment your email is read, without telling the person who read it. Here is who builds it, and the principles it holds to.
The problem Vidi solves
You send an email that matters (a proposal, a quote, a follow-up to a client) and then you wait, refreshing your inbox, wondering whether it was even opened. Native read receipts barely help: free Outlook.com and personal Gmail do not offer working ones, and where they exist the recipient is asked to confirm and usually declines. So you are left guessing.
Vidi removes the guessing. A single grey tick appears when your email sends, and two green ticks the moment it is opened, exactly like the ticks you already understand from WhatsApp. It works across Outlook.com, Yahoo Mail and Gmail from one extension.
Who builds Vidi
Vidi is built by Daniel O'Loughlin. My background is in finance and data: a B.Comm in Economics and an MSc in Finance, the CAIA charter, and two years as an analyst at S&P Global.
The principles Vidi holds to
- Honest signals over flattering ones. Automated pre-fetches, like Apple Mail Privacy Protection or corporate security scanners, are recorded but labelled as what they are, not disguised as a genuine human read. A green tick means a person opened your email. See how we handle Apple Mail Privacy Protection.
- Nothing added to your email. No signature, no badge, no permission box. Unlike trackers that stamp a “sent with” footer on the free plan, Vidi adds nothing the recipient can see. That is the whole point of the Mailtrack alternative pages.
- Built for individuals, not surveillance. Vidi is for one-to-one email that matters, not mass profiling. It tells you that and when your message was read, and nothing about what is inside anyone’s inbox. On the law, see is email tracking legal?
- Fair, transparent pricing. $2.99/month is limited launch pricing that will rise as Vidi grows, and whatever you sign up at, you keep. Every plan has a 30-day money-back guarantee and you can cancel in two clicks.
Get in touch
