Mel – The missing unsubscribe button for physical mail

Since 2017, I've been on a mission to stop the deluge of paper mail that ends up in my trash. It's been a slow, manual process, but I've succeeded! I created Mel to help others rid themselves of physical junk mail. Simply text a photo of junk mail and Mel contacts the sender to have you removed from their list – no registration or app required.
