GMClean vs Leave Me Alone

GMClean is a free, self-hosted web tool for scanning email headers, classifying messages, unsubscribing in bulk, deleting email, and exporting data. It works with Gmail, Outlook, and custom IMAP mailboxes, with up to 10 mailboxes connected at once. GMClean fetches headers such as sender, subject, and List-Unsubscribe details without downloading message bodies. It can scan INBOX, Spam, Promotions, Trash, and other IMAP folders. Inbox analysis includes a 0–100 health score based on five weighted factors, sender insights, and email age distribution. Classification uses heuristic rules, with optional Gemini assistance for ambiguous cases. Users can unsubscribe with one click using RFC 8058 support or unsubscribe in bulk; bulk deletion runs in batches of 500 messages. Exports include selected subscriptions with resubscribe links and scanned emails in CSV format. The project documents deployment with npm, Docker, or Docker Compose. It says app data stays in browser IndexedDB and there is no cloud database or telemetry. Credentials are encrypted with AES-256-CBC before storage, and setup requires an ENCRYPTION_SECRET. The repository is MIT-licensed.

Leave Me Alone brings subscription emails from connected accounts together and lets users unsubscribe from unwanted mailing lists. It follows unsubscribe links to complete requests, rather than merely filtering messages. Rollups gather selected newsletters into scheduled email digests; Screener holds messages from new senders until approval in a browser or by daily digest; Spam Blocker learns from unwanted inbox messages and blocks similar senders. Supported providers include Google and Microsoft accounts, Fastmail, Yahoo Mail, iCloud, AOL, Mail.com and other IMAP mailboxes. The Android app can show mailing lists, unsubscribe and connect accounts. The homepage offers unsubscribing from 10 emails free without a credit card. The Casual Emailer and Inbox Zero Hero plans are each free; the Seven Day Pass is $19, paid once for seven days. The maker says it stores subscription-email metadata; Rollups fetch, encrypt and store selected email content, while Spam Blocker reads some content for classification and training. Paid plans recheck connected addresses against Have I Been Pwned weekly.
