Paperweight

Paperweight is built by a solo indie hacker, which normally makes me nervous, but this one actually makes sense: the whole privacy-first pitch is that all your inbox scanning happens locally on your machine rather than bouncing through some startup's servers — and being open source means you can verify that claim yourself. It maps your digital footprint by scraping your inbox, then gives you the tools to bulk unsubscribe, audit what accounts still exist, and fire off GDPR deletion requests, which feels like the kind of housekeeping everyone knows they should do but never actually does. The traction's modest (129 followers, 118 upvotes in nine days) but that's honestly fine for a utility like this — it doesn't need a cult following, it just needs you to trust it enough to hand over your inbox. Free, no strings, no data leaving your computer? That's actually the move, and I'd rather fund an indie hacker directly than hand my privacy data to a VC-backed startup that'll inevitably get acquired.
