Paperweight — local-first, open-source desktop app to cleanup email and manage your digital footprint

Paperweight V1 launched as a local-first, open-source (MIT) desktop app for email cleanup and digital footprint management, adding account and company discovery, mailing list discovery with bulk unsubscribe, breach monitoring, personal data discovery, bulk email actions, privacy and data deletion requests with follow-ups, multi-account support, Gmail, Microsoft, Apple, IMAP and Proton Bridge support, and MCP access for AI agents. The app processes inboxes locally rather than on Paperweight servers, and pricing now includes a free tier with full-history scanning and discovery, a 30-day Cleanup Pass, and yearly Pro, with existing Lifetime licenses remaining permanent and the final Lifetime offer ending October 7.

Paperweight V1 is now live

V1 includes:

account and company discovery

mailing list discovery + bulk unsubscribe

breach monitoring

personal data discovery

email cleanup and bulk actions

privacy / data deletion requests and follow-ups

multiple email accounts

Gmail, Microsoft, Apple, IMAP and Proton Bridge support

MCP access for AI agents

Everything still runs locally. Your inbox isn’t processed by Paperweight servers, and the app remains fully open source (MIT).

One thing that did change since my original post is pricing. After experimenting over the beta, Paperweight now has a useful free tier with full-history scanning and discovery, a 30-day Cleanup Pass, and yearly Pro for ongoing use. Existing Lifetime licenses remain permanent, and the final Lifetime offer ends October 7.

A lot of the feedback in this thread helped shape V1, so thanks to everyone who helped test, bought an early license, reported issues or challenged some of the decisions along the way.

Thank you all!
