Your inbox knows where your data lives. Paperweight uncovers old accounts, cleans up unwanted mailing lists, and helps you remove exposed personal data.

I shared Paperweight earlier here as it was being actively developed and still in beta. After almost 7 months, I’m excited to finally release Paperweight V1 as ready 🗿

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

Your email history contains traces of most of your online life. Accounts you created, companies you bought from, mailing lists you joined, services you forgot about, breaches, and personal information accumulated over the years.

Paperweight helps to map your footprint, take back control and delete your data. All locally on your computer.

V1 now includes:

  • discover accounts, companies and services connected to your email
  • find mailing lists and subscriptions
  • show known breaches affecting services you use
  • find personal information across your email history
  • bulk unsubscribe and clean up old email
  • create privacy and data deletion requests
  • manage multiple email accounts
  • connect to AI agents through MCP

It supports Gmail, Microsoft, Apple, custom IMAP and Proton Mail via Bridge.

The important part for me from the beginning was privacy. All your data stays on your computer. There is no Paperweight backend or external services processing your inbox.

It’s also fully open source under MIT.

The free version now includes full-history scanning and discovery, so you can map and inspect your entire footprint. A Pro license makes it actionable. It gives you ease of use, compiled binaries and support and helps support (OSS) development.
