A desktop alert when a package or grocery order arrives · Gmail Bot devlog

When a "Delivered" or "Arrived" email comes in, whether a parcel or a grocery order, the bot pops up a Windows notification within five minutes. Each message alerts once, and it all stays on the computer.
It reads the subject line only. Checked against a month of real mail (read-only), it caught every real delivery and skipped shipping updates, "out for delivery" and "expected by" notices, delays, a newsletter and a restaurant promo that happened to say "has arrived".
A delivery email the fraud checks don't trust (spoofed sender, failed authentication, a risky attachment) gets no alert, since fake delivery notices are a common scam. A first order from a new store still alerts, with a note that it's the first email from that sender.
Dry runs list deliveries on the dashboard and in the digest without sending anything.
This replaced an earlier attempt that ran Claude on a schedule to check the mailbox. That run could log in but couldn't reach the mailbox, so the bot now does the job itself.
