InboxDetox - Email account cleaner
Local-first scanning of your inbox to find forgotten accounts and guide deletion
- Problem
- Everyone's inbox holds hundreds of accounts for defunct online services, creating privacy risks. A developer spent 7 months building an open-source tool like Paperweight, proving the need is real and time-consuming.
- Solution
- A local-first desktop tool that connects to your email, extracts all signup confirmations and receipts, builds a 'digital footprint map', and generates deletion or data removal request links and email templates in one click.
- Users
- Privacy-conscious users, creators managing digital legacy, and SaaS users who forget to cancel after trials.
- MVP
- Gmail/Outlook read-only OAuth; parse signup and receipt emails to extract service names; show list of services with risk levels; provide one-click jump to deletion page or generate cancellation email.
- Revenue
- Free basic scan; $5/month for unlimited scans and scheduled rescans; or $49 one-time family license.
- Why now
- Tighter privacy regulations push users to clean up old accounts, while local AI models enable offline email parsing, reducing trust barriers.
