## Signals and evidence

- NEW · 0h OLD WHEN SEEN

## TESIGN TAKE

The source is open, so you can audit what it does.

## WHY IT MATTERS

Forgotten accounts and bulk mail pile up and it's hard to know where your data went. Paperweight reads your inbox to find accounts and mailing lists per service, and shows breach alerts and data-deletion requests.

## BUILD FROM THIS

- Works with Gmail, Microsoft, Apple, Proton (via Bridge) and IMAP. It finds accounts and mailing lists, shows breach alerts (haveibeenpwned.com) and offers bulk unsubscribe. It says mail and settings stay on your machine and nothing is sent to external servers; a scan takes about two minutes.

## WHO IT'S FOR

- Anyone who wants to clean up old sign-ups and marketing mail.

## START IN 5 MINUTES

```
# Download the build for your OS from Releases, connect your email and run a scan.
```

## CAVEATS

- The free tier covers one email account and discovery only. Unsubscribe and deletion actions, multiple accounts and MCP need a paid plan (a 30-day Cleanup Pass or yearly Pro). It reads your whole mailbox, so check the source and pricing before granting access.

## How to read this

- This file was produced by the same build, from the same data, as the tesign.com item page. The text is editorial; the numbers are stored observations.
- null in the JSON means not observed — never zero. The Markdown writes [unconfirmed] for it.
- Star total = the value last checked on GitHub (stars_checked_at) + increases observed via GH Archive since. The 24h · 7d · 30d gains are GH Archive hourly events summed to the reference time (as_of). No score of ours.
- A summary, not legal advice.
