I built an inbox cleaner that automatically removes spam every week — here's how I did it solo
Six weeks ago I was paying $9/month for Leave Me Alone and still spending 20 minutes every week manually cleaning my inbox. I thought — there has to be a better way.
So I built it.
What is InboxClean?
InboxClean is a Gmail inbox cleaner that unsubscribes you from spam, permanently blocks unwanted senders, and automatically cleans your inbox every Monday — without you doing anything.
How it works:
Connect Gmail in 30 seconds
We scan your last 1,000 emails and group them by sender
Each sender gets a spam score so you know the worst offenders
One click unsubscribes + our Inbox Shield creates a permanent Gmail filter
Pro users get fully automatic weekly cleaning every Monday at 8am
What makes it different from Leave Me Alone and Clean Email:
$5/month vs their $9-$10/month
We never read your email body — headers only
Inbox Shield auto-activates on every unsubscribe
Weekly auto-clean is fully hands-free
The stack:
Next.js 14, TypeScript, Supabase, Railway, Paystack, Gmail API — built and deployed solo in 6 days as a self-taught developer.
Current status:
Live at inboxclean.email
Free plan: 10 unsubscribes/week forever
Pro: $5/month
What I'm looking for:
Honest feedback from the IH community. What would make you switch from your current inbox tool? What features are missing? Would you pay $5/month for this?
