AutoUnsubscribe is a subscription management tool designed to automatically unsubscribe you from emails you never open, helping you maintain a clean and focused inbox. It offers a trial period with limited unsubscribes, then a paid plan for extended access. The service emphasizes real unsubscribing, privacy, and user control via a dashboard, with compatibility across major email providers that support IMAP.
How it works
- When subscriptions in your inbox reach an unread threshold, AutoUnsubscribe flags them for unsubscribing.
- You receive an email notifying you which emails will be unsubscribed, giving you a chance to add any to your Keep List.
- After a day, the flagged emails are automatically unsubscribed.
- If you subscribe monthly, AutoShield will automatically trash all future emails from an unsubscribed sender so you stop receiving them, even if unsubscribe fails.
- You can manually unsubscribe or add to your Keep List at any time via the dashboard.
Features
- Automatically unsubscribe: The service unsubscribes from emails you never open to keep your inbox clear.
- Keep important subscriptions: Use the "keep list" to retain subscriptions you don’t want unsubscribed.
- Real unsubscribing: Uses real unsubscribe links so you won’t receive emails from a sender again.
- One-click unsubscribing: Quickly unsubscribe from emails with a single click from the dashboard.
- Warn before unsubscribing: You’ll be warned and can choose to keep an email before unsubscribing.
- Privacy-focused: The service does not read or store email contents beyond the sender information and does not sell data.
- Supports all email providers: Works with any provider that supports IMAP (e.g., Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, etc.). It connects to your account like a local mail client.
- Free trial and pricing: Try it free with 5 unsubscribes; monthly plans available for ongoing use.
How it works (technical flow)
- Connect your email account via IMAP.
- Monitor inbox activity to detect unopened emails and potential unsubscribes.
- Generate a list of candidates to unsubscribe and notify you before action.
- Execute real unsubscribe actions and apply Keep List preferences.
- Optionally enable AutoShield to trash future emails from unsubscribed senders.
Safety and Privacy Considerations
- AutoUnsubscribe does not read email contents or store sensitive data beyond the sender information.
- Unsubscribing effects are governed by the sender’s unsubscribe mechanism; the service aims to respect user choices and avoid accidental unsubscribes via the Keep List and warning prompts.
