TL;DR: I got tired of having to spend few hours twice a year just combing through emails and unsubscribing from ton of stuff that I got inevidably subscribed to only by visiting and "logging in" in all kinds of sites (sadly everything seems to be login-gated nowadays).. So I got angry and did a quick search to see if there are any services that would help me out with that issue but most of them were either straight out selling your data, or ridiculously priced (I don't want to pay an annual subscription for a tool I'd use once or twice per year). On top of all that, I just didn't feel comfy giving access to a tool that sends my email's content to some server somewhere and I'd have to take their word for it that they won't abuse/store/sell my data.

So I decided to try and build something myself that addresses my pains:

* Quck & Simple, easy to use (just the core functionality without any distractions)
* Privacy-first (sending email's content/headers/meta anywhere was a big NO-NO)
* Makes sense pirce-wise (you're allowed free test runs and you're not forced into long-term committments)

That's how [Email Unsubscriber](https://email-unsubscriber.com/) came to life. Few things I'd like to stress on:

1. The OAuth handshake (where you connect the app to your account and give permissions, and Google/Microsoft issues an`access_token` which grants read access to your inbox) happens directly through a standalone open sourced service, fully bypassing the backend so that only your browser receives the token without it being proxied by the backend as it's usually done. That way noone but your browser can access your emails content and once connected, the whole scanning and processing happens locally on your device.
2. The pricing model is One-Off payments where you go in and pay just when you need to use the tool, which gives you full access for 30 days during which time you can scan, unsubscribe and then come back and re-scan to see if any senders are ingoring your unsubscribe requests (so you could reach out to them directly, report them, etc). You're not bound into recurring payments or anything so next time you need it (once your inbox gets jammed again) - you can log in, pay again and get your job done again.
3. We only store a list of unsubscribe actions you've performed (names + addresses of senders you've unsubscribed from) so we could provide you with a history and we could track violators.

I'll be more than happy to give 100% off coupons to whoever likes to try it out, play with it, and come back with valuable feedback and suggestions on what works, what doesn't and what could be improved! DM me or comment if you wish to give it a try.
