What is Paperweight Email?

Your inbox is a paper trail of every company that has ever had your data. Every account you created, every service you tried or signed up for, every online purchase. It's all connected to your email. Most people have 100+ accounts they've forgotten about, creating security risks and privacy exposure.

Paperweight scans your inbox to map your digital footprint, then helps you take back control and delete your data.

What it does:

  • Account inventory — Maps every company that has ever emailed you, with risks classifications and recommendations for action.
  • Bulk unsubscribe — Find and unsubscribe from any marketing and mailing lists (auto RFC 8058 where supported).
  • Breach alerts — Alerts when any company you’ve been in contact with has been breached (via HaveIBeenPwned).
  • GDPR requests — Generates pre-filled GDPR requests in multiple languages.

Supports Gmail (OAuth), Outlook, IMAP, and Proton Mail via Bridge.

Privacy approach:

Everything runs on your machine. Email content, credentials, and connection details never leave your device. No telemetry, no cloud sync, no analytics. Most alternatives in this space rely on trust, and require you to share your data through their services. Some of them have actually been caught selling your data. Paperweight is handles everything entirely local and the code is fully open source and auditable on GitHub.

Licensing & pricing:

Free to use with a 30-day scan window. If you want to support ongoing development and get unlimited history, multi-account support, there’s a one-time perpetual license. No subscriptions.
