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

Paperweight v0.4 is now live

Before you upgrade

Due to new folder sync, IMAP and Microsoft require a full re-sync on first launch after upgrading. That clears existing message data only. Companies, whitelist, license, and past actions (unsubscribe, trash, etc.) are all kept, but expect a longer sync than usual.

Gmail accounts are unaffected.

Changes

• Free tier scan increased from 30 to 90 days so the free version feels like a more solid product.
• Full-mailbox scanning instead of inbox-only.
• More flexible GDPR requests with a custom recipient field and no-reply filtering.
• More reliable sync, with stable message IDs.
• Light mode, configurable in settings.

Latest release: Release v0.4.0 · wslyvh/paperweight · GitHub

Also expanded the free resources on the site incl. new guides, breaches and improved navigation.
