I deleted 80,675 unread emails in 20 minutes. Here's exactly how.
A counts-and-metadata cleanup workflow for Gmail — you run the survey script under your own OAuth, you keep the tokens, and you get a written, prioritized cleanup plan. No SaaS to install. No mail content leaves your account. The 30-day Trash window is your safety net.
Three tiers, all delivered async. You run a small read-only survey script in your own Google account; we receive only the resulting survey.json file (counts and metadata — no message ids, subjects, or bodies) and send back a written cleanup plan.
Inbox Cleanup Pack
Pay-what-you-want with a $9 floor on Gumroad. The same survey script, prioritized cleanup playbook, label/filter templates, and undo notes — printable Markdown you can run yourself, no review.

You run the survey script under your own OAuth, share only the resulting survey.json, and get a written, prioritized cleanup plan within 5 business days. One mailbox, one async clarification pass.
Inbox Cleanup Enterprise
Up to 10 mailboxes in one Google Workspace tenant via your own internal-app OAuth path. Per-mailbox survey.json in, consolidated written plan out, 5 business day SLA after complete intake.
What you send
- Mailbox count (1, or up to 10 for Enterprise) and rough size context.
- Per-mailbox
survey.jsonfrom the read-only script you run. - Confirmation you own/administer the mailbox(es) or are authorized.
- Optional: rough goals (less noise, find old attachments, archive newsletters).
What this is not
Not a deliverability or inbox-placement service, not spam-folder removal, not mail recovery, not a storage-savings guarantee, not a compliance certification, not a legal opinion. We do not log into your account and we do not delete or move mail for you.
What gets reviewed
- Volume: top senders, top lists, oldest unread cohorts, and where the bulk actually lives.
- Subscriptions: noisy newsletters, marketing senders, and one-off transactional senders worth filtering vs. unsubscribing.
- Attachments: rough size buckets and age, so you know what's worth archiving before you touch anything.
- Labels & filters: a recommended label/filter map, including templates you can paste into Gmail.
- Cleanup order: a prioritized plan — what to triage first, what to schedule, and what to leave alone.
Best fit
- Solo founders drowning in years of newsletters and receipts.
- Operators who want a plan, not a "log in with Google" promise.
- Small Workspace teams (up to 10 mailboxes) cleaning up before a migration.
- Anyone who wants the cleanup to happen in their own account, on their own schedule.
Process
- Pick a tier and pay (Gumroad for the $19 pack; Stripe for QuickCheck or Enterprise).
- You receive the survey script and a short intake link. Authorize the script under your own Google account; tokens stay with you.
- You run the read-only script; it writes
survey.json(counts and metadata only — no message ids, subjects, or bodies). - You send us the
survey.jsonfile(s) through the approved private channel. For Enterprise, one file per mailbox. - Within 5 business days of complete intake, you receive a written, prioritized cleanup plan. You make all changes inside your own Gmail/Workspace account.
- One async clarification pass within 14 days of delivery. Revoke the script's OAuth grant in your Google account when done.
Required disclaimers
- Advisory only. The deliverable is a written cleanup plan. We do not log into your mailbox, we do not move or delete messages, and we do not implement filters for you.
- You remain responsible. You are responsible for backups, for any deletions you perform, and for confirming each recommendation before applying it.
- No deliverability or storage promises. This is not a deliverability, inbox-placement, spam-folder removal, sender-reputation, recovery-of-deleted-mail, or specific-storage-savings service.
- 30-day Gmail Trash window. Items you move to Trash in Gmail are typically purged after 30 days. Plan and verify before bulk-deleting anything.
- Tokens stay with you. You authorize the survey script under your own OAuth grant. Tuck never holds your OAuth tokens, refresh tokens, or mail content.
