Declutter your inbox without giving third-party access to your emails! Reclaim GBs of storage, unsubscribe from pesky emails—all while keeping your emails off our servers. Experience full privacy with GoodByEmail, even offline!

Hi Product Hunt 👋, If you're someone who's reluctant to provide third-party access to your emails, this might be for you! We built this app out of a personal need—our email inboxes were always getting cluttered, and nothing on the market met our standards for privacy. It seems we aren’t alone; lots of folks are dealing with inbox anxiety, swamped with clutter and endless emails, often long before hitting storage limits. And all this with no easy and private way to clean it up! GoodByEmail is here to make that process painless, quick, and privacy-focused! To clarify, we take privacy extremely seriously. So much so that you'll need to download your emails from your email provider for our AI engine to analyze them. Why? Because we never upload your emails to our servers. That's right—No OAuth tokens, no invasive permissions. Your emails never leave your computer. You can even use GoodByEmail offline. It's a small manual step for a major boost in privacy. But here’s the real deal—while most solutions in the market are are solely focused on unsubscribes, we dive deep, providing insights into the biggest offenders filling up your inbox, not all of which are subscriptions. This helps you know exactly what to delete, giving you more control, and yes, we’ve also sprinkled in a handy unsubscribe option 😉. Steps summary: 1. Scanning: Export your inbox from your email provider and scan it with GoodByEmail — an export guide is available on our website. No email logins or OAuth tokens needed. It even works offline! 2. Analyzing: GoodByEmail’s interactive dashboard helps you discover your Top Offenders and mailing lists you can unsubscribe from. Filter, sort and see who's taking up space, how many emails they've sent and when they last emailed you. 3. Cleaning: Now you know who’s cluttering your inbox and it’s action time! Mass-delete emails from unwanted Top Offenders. Unsubscribe from undesired mailing lists. And Voilà—you’ve reclaimed GBs storage! Please give it a try and let us know what you think. We're here to answer all your questions and to take in your valuable feedback. 🙏 Thank you for checking us out!

@celue I was just looking for something like this and hated having to give access to my inbox- it feels too personal! Love this idea and I’m going to try it out tomorrow on desktop

@itspatzer Hi Martha! 😊 Awesome to hear! Can't wait for you to try it out tomorrow. Let us know how it goes. Happy safe cleaning!

@celue Update after my previous comment: This app is awesome! I've freed up over 12 GB and 280k emails! The funny thing is, out of my top 10 offenders, only two were a subscription-type of email. The unsubscribe tools I've tried have never picked up my actual offenders. PS: I've left a review just now. Keep it up team!

@j_moreira Hi Jorge, that is amazing to hear! Thank you for using GoodByEmail! 😍

Congratulations on launching GoodByEmail! As someone wary of privacy with email tools, I really appreciate your approach keeping data local. One question - after cleaning up my inbox initially, is there a way for GoodByEmail to regularly scan for new clutter over time? Or do I need to manually re-download and re-analyze as new emails come in?

@sarvpriy_arya Thank you for the kind words Sarvpriy! 😊 We're glad you value our focus on privacy. To answer your question: Yes, for now, you would need to manually re-download and re-analyze as new emails come in. The manual steps are intentional and designed to keep your data truly yours. Any service promising to regularly scan your inbox usually will require your login credentials or OAuth tokens of some sort. Those are permissions to read your email content. With those in place, your data is fetched by their backend, passing through their servers, introducing privacy risks. Our approach ensures your emails never leave your control or environment. By opting for manual re-analysis with GoodByEmail, you're taking a proactive step in maintaining your own privacy. It's a trade-off, but we believe it's invaluable for the sake of ensuring your emails stay completely private. Hoping that sheds light on why we do what we do. Would love to hear if you have more insights or questions.

I love the privacy approach especially with emails. And I love that it works offline 👌🏻 @celue

@phil_co Thanks Phil. Let us know how your inbox decluttering goes ✨

I'm genuinely impressed. What stands out is the app’s respect for privacy — no need to hand over my email logins. The 'top offenders' feature is very interesting, it gave insights far different than typical unsubscribe tools. Found out my top 10 offenders were taking over 21 GB of my storage quota and sent me over 353k emails. Glad to say, many of them are history now 👌 Also cool that you can click on the dashboard and it takes a screenshot for you.

Goodbyemail worked like a charm on my Outlook and iCloud emails. It found the heavy-hitter senders that were clogging up my inbox, something I couldn't manage with just email filters on Outlook and iCloud / Apple Mail clients. And doing it all offline on my computer? That's the kind of privacy I appreciate.

Where has this tool been? I have a 15-year-old set of email addresses that needed to be cleaned, and the Gmail user interface wasn't handling it well. Acquiring this tool not only resolved my problems, but also significantly reduced my expenses. GoodByEmail is amazing, simple and just works. Thansk GoodByEmail!
