zero-mail
Self-hosted · your server, your rules

Your inbox,
quietly triaged.

zero-mail reads your Gmail, keeps what matters in your inbox, archives the noise, and sends one calm Brief per group — so you open your mail already sorted.

How it works

Three quiet steps, running on your own machine.

No dashboard to babysit. zero-mail wakes on a schedule, does the sorting, and gets out of your way.

01

It reads new mail

With your permission, zero-mail fetches messages that arrived since its last run — just the new ones, nothing retroactive.

02

It sorts by intent

Each message is classified — action, newsletter, promotion, spam — then kept in your inbox or archived, following rules you can correct any time.

03

It sends one Brief

A single readable digest per group lands in your inbox: what came in, what it did, and a one-click way to fix anything it got wrong.

The Brief

One glance replaces fifty.

Instead of scanning a wall of unread mail, you read a short Brief that already made the calls. Every decision is reversible — correct one and zero-mail learns the rule for next time.

Your data

It runs on your server. It stays on your server.

zero-mail is self-hosted software, not a service you hand your mail to. There is no company inbox in the middle.

Stored locally

Your access tokens and the metadata zero-mail keeps live in a database on your own machine. Nothing is uploaded to us — there is no “us.”

Minimal access

It reads and organizes your mail to do the triage. It never sells, shares, or trains on your data — and you can revoke its access in your Google account at any moment.

One AI step, named

To classify a message, its text is sent to Anthropic’s API and returned. That is the only third party in the loop, and it’s spelled out in full in the policy.
