MailSweeper
MailSweeper is a web-based SaaS tool that connects to Gmail to automatically clean and organize inboxes. It identifies mailing lists, old promotional and social emails, and large attachments, then allows users to bulk unsubscribe or delete them in a few clicks. A dashboard provides metrics such as emails cleaned, storage space reclaimed, and unsubscribe count. Users can also schedule automatic sweeps that move clutter to a designated 'Dustpan' label and delete messages older than 30 days, keeping the primary inbox focused on important mail. The service emphasizes privacy by stating that emails are never stored, sold, or read by humans. It offers a Quick Clean feature for instant cleanup, one-click unsubscribe from all detected lists, smart labeling to route clutter away from the inbox, and scheduled automatic cleanup. MailSweeper is targeted at individual Gmail users and families who want to reduce inbox clutter and avoid paying for extra Google storage.
