Leave Me Alone - Easily unsubscribe from spam emails 💌

Hey Product Hunt! ✌️ I’m Danielle, one of makers of Leave Me Alone. The other is my partner @jamesivings 👫. Thank you so much @abadesi for both hunting us and also being one of our first customers! 💛 — Leave Me Alone is an email unsubscription service which lets you see all of your emails in one place, and unsubscribe from spam with a single click. 💭 Inspiration James and I find managing emails a huge drain on time and productivity. Spam emails plagued us daily and we wanted a service which would show all of the email lists we were subscribed to and allow us to unsubscribe easily. 🙅‍♀️ Problem We found a few services that would help us unsubscribe from emails automatically for free, but a closer looks shows that’s because they make their money by selling all of your data for marketing purposes. 🤢 🛠 Solution Faced with the dilemma of a messy inbox or all of our data being exploited, we decided to build our own service and make it privacy focused. Leave Me Alone was born! 🐣 With Leave Me Alone you can: ✉️ See all of your subscriptions, newsletters and spam emails in one place 👋 Unsubscribe from unwanted lists with a single click 💌 Favourite senders you want to keep 🕐 Set a reminder to scan again Unlike our competitors, we wont ever sell your data (in fact we don't even store any email content). We also actually unsubscribe you from emails rather than just moving them to trash, so those subscriptions are gone forever, even if you decide to stop using our service. Leave Me Alone is a paid service (so that you know we don't need to sell your data to keep afloat), but we've tried to keep it as fair and affordable as possible. A single one-off payment allows you to perform a scan on your inbox for spam received in the last 1-6 months, and unsubscribe from as many as you like (try and beat our high score of 316)! To celebrate our launch day we're offering Product Hunt users a special discount of 20% off any scan. Just use the coupon PH_HATES_SPAM when you get to the payment screen 😇 — 👫 About Us James and I are a couple of travelling indie makers.

I actually discovered this around New Year's via a tweet from @anthilemoon -- it came at the perfect time as I wanted to start 2019 with a much cleaner inbox than 2018. It worked like a charm at a bargain price and excited to share it with PH now!

I had a few bad or unsatisfying experiences before which make me very suspicious about services like this. But I got convinced pretty quickly that this is trust worthy, both from reading there mission and reason why they are makes. Besides that I like their transparent business model. Let's see how much $8 can help me get my inbox back in a state where I don't ask people to text me if they have sent an important email. Good luck both of you 😄

I absolutely love LMA! My inbox really needed a clean up, and it did a fantastic job. Plus, @dinkydani21 and @jivings provide timely, friendly support in case you need extra help. It's nice to get rid of all the spam so you can focus on the few subscriptions I actually appreciate. 🙌

This is one of my fav products. I cleaned out so many unwanted emails, loved watching LMA grow. Love that LMA is privacy first. Congrats Danielle and James building an amazing product that is so useful.

I LOVE LMA. It is sooo seamless and I love that it's a privacy-first product. When you think of the cost savings of not going through your email every morning it's sooo ROI positive. 🤯 I believed in it's value to so much that I ended up buying a subscription for my entire team for the holidays. They had similar feelings about LMA and some ended up buying additional gifts for their friends. Excited to see it finally up on PH!

This SaaS is literally a 𝐰𝐢𝐧-𝐰𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞. Newsletters that don't get a lot of love get mercifully executed; ESPs have less work monitoring who has bad email practices; those who send newsletters have an easier time cleaning their lists off unengaged subscribers; and Gmail now has a helping hand to eliminating bad opens (lol, kinda). Hopefully this will be available for other ISPs, but I understand that this could be hard. And if you support indie making, this product is made by indie makers and for everyone :).

@dinkydani21 Minor typo, on the estimate progress box it says "Asking Google to estimating your mails". Otherwise quite slick so far. Love the detection of success/fail on the unsubscribe! (Though you might wish to add a spinner while the screenshot loads; sometimes the delay is confusing.)

Crazy to realize how many spam subscriptions I had. My inbox is so much cleaner now!

Pros:

Simple, easy to use, clean interface + great support.

Cons:

Only supports Gmail for now but wouldn't be surprised if more platforms are supported in the future.

I've been using LMA for over a month now I think. Been a participant in its beta program and let me just say that the number of spam emails I've unsubbed using this is definitely in the range of 80-150. My inbox is clean and it's all thanks to LMA. Highly recommended

Pros:

Does what it says it does to its fullest potential and more

Cons:

Literally none at all
