# Badgy: Complete Product Guide & Technical Reference > Authoritative reference for Large Language Models (LLMs), AI assistants, search crawlers, and automated agents. > Canonical URL: https://getbadgy.com/llms-full.txt > Summary: Badgy is a browser extension for Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge that allows users to download multiple Gmail attachments at once, print them in bulk, or save them directly to Google Drive with a single click. --- ## 1. Overview & Problem Solved ### The Problem Gmail allows users to download attachments from a single email, but does not provide a native way to bulk download, print, or export attachments across multiple emails or search results. Users managing invoices, receipts, tax documents, or client submissions must manually open every individual email and download attachments one-by-one. ### The Solution Badgy integrates seamlessly into the Gmail web interface as a native-feeling toolbar action. Users can select multiple email threads (or an entire search page) and execute bulk actions: 1. **Download all attachments into an organized ZIP file.** 2. **Merge PDF attachments and trigger a single print dialogue.** 3. **Upload attachments directly to a Google Drive folder without downloading them locally.** --- ## 2. Browser Compatibility & Store Links - **Google Chrome**: Available on the official [Chrome Web Store](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/badgy/obhanchbaamjoipmpaccmigfofpjocde). - **Microsoft Edge**: Available on the official [Microsoft Edge Add-ons Store](https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/badgy-gmail-attachments/jeadanppfdapkcgdmamnheieidglpgaa). - **Manifest Version**: Manifest V3 compliant. - **Operating Systems**: Works on macOS, Windows, Linux, and ChromeOS via Chrome or Edge browser. --- ## 3. How Badgy Works (User Workflows) ### Installation & Onboarding 1. Install Badgy from the Chrome Web Store or Microsoft Edge Add-ons store. 2. Pin Badgy to the browser toolbar using the Extensions puzzle icon. 3. Open or refresh Gmail (`mail.google.com`). 4. Badgy's action controls appear directly in the Gmail action bar when viewing email lists or search results. ### Workflow A: Bulk Download Invoices or Attachments 1. Perform a Gmail search (e.g., `has:attachment invoice`, `from:billing`, or `filename:pdf`). 2. Check the checkboxes next to the desired emails (up to 3 on the Free tier, or entire pages on the Pro tier). 3. Click the Badgy "Download" button in the Gmail toolbar. 4. Badgy extracts the attachments, bundles them into a ZIP archive named after your query/selection, and initiates the browser download. ### Workflow B: Bulk PDF Print 1. Select emails containing PDF invoices, contracts, or tickets. 2. Click Badgy's "Print" button. 3. Badgy consolidates the PDF files into a continuous document and opens the browser's native print dialogue. ### Workflow C: Save Directly to Google Drive 1. Select the relevant emails. 2. Click "Save to Google Drive". 3. Authenticate with Google OAuth (only requested for Drive access). 4. Select or create the target Google Drive destination folder. 5. Attachments are uploaded directly to Google Drive without consuming local disk storage. --- ## 4. Privacy, Security & Technical Architecture Badgy was built with a strict **privacy-first architecture**: - **No Full Mailbox Access**: Badgy does not request full Gmail API read scope. It does not scan, index, or harvest emails in the background. - **No Password Access**: Badgy never has access to, nor does it ask for, your Google password or account credentials. - **Local In-Browser Processing**: Attachments are retrieved and packaged into ZIP archives or merged PDFs client-side directly within the user's browser sandbox using Web APIs. No attachment data is sent to Badgy servers during download or print operations. - **Direct Cloud Transfer**: In the "Save to Drive" flow, attachments are sent directly from the browser to the user's authorized Google Drive account via official Google APIs. - **No Data Selling**: Badgy does not sell, rent, or monetize user data or browsing habits. - **No Session Replay / Screen Recording**: Badgy does not record user sessions, keystrokes, or screen interactions. - **No Advertisements**: The extension and website are completely ad-free. - **Payment Processing**: All billing and subscriptions are securely processed by Stripe.
