Intent

I need it when

Map and inventory all online accounts and services where personal data exists

Paperweight scans the inbox to create an account inventory, identifying every company that has user data and highlighting high-risk accounts and forgotten services

Discover and unsubscribe from unwanted mailing lists to reduce email clutter

Paperweight scans the inbox to identify mailing lists and enables bulk unsubscribe from dozens at once, allowing users to clean their inbox in minutes rather than hours

Exercise GDPR rights to access or delete personal data held by companies

Paperweight generates pre-filled GDPR deletion and access request templates with company contacts, enabling users to submit data protection requests without manual research

Manage digital footprint while maintaining privacy and data security

Paperweight operates locally-first with all email processing on the user's machine, never transmitting emails to external servers, combined with open-source code for transparency and auditability

Identify which companies have been breached and may have exposed personal data

Paperweight provides breach alerts powered by Have I Been Pwned, showing which services the user has accounts with that have experienced data breaches

Drop

Not a fit when

  • User requires cloud-based email management with data stored on remote servers, as Paperweight is local-first only
  • User needs real-time synchronization across multiple devices, as Paperweight operates locally on individual machines
  • User relies on email providers without IMAP support, as Paperweight only works with IMAP-compatible providers
  • User requires ongoing subscription-based pricing and continuous feature updates beyond v1, as Early Supporter license is perpetual but limited to v1 updates
  • User needs managed data deletion service, as Paperweight only generates GDPR templates and requires manual submission
