Launched ClearDesk today — automated inbox cleaner built with Google Apps Script

Built and launched my first product today. ClearDesk automatically archives old emails, scans Google Drive for dead files, and emails you a weekly clutter score. All runs in the background via Google Apps Script. $8/month, 7-day free trial. Would love feedback from this community — what would make you pay for a tool like this? cleardesk.me (DNS propagating — live in 30 min)

    Congrats on launching. The $8/month angle is clear, but I think the bigger question is whether people read this as a tiny cleanup script or an actual personal ops layer for inbox and Drive clutter.

    ClearDesk explains the surface benefit, but it may also make the product feel like a simple “clean my inbox” utility. The stronger promise is background workspace hygiene: email, files, clutter scoring, and recurring cleanup without the user thinking about it.

    That matters because if you expand into smarter rules, Drive cleanup, weekly reports, shared workspaces, or business accounts, the name needs to feel broader than desk cleaning.

    Xevoa .com would fit that direction better as a workflow/productivity brand. It keeps the product on your side as a serious background automation tool, not just a one-off Google Apps Script cleaner.

    Since you’re launching today and the domain is still propagating, this is exactly the stage where I’d pressure-test the name before users, payments, and product pages start locking around ClearDesk.
