I built a tool to stop cold email spam (Unspam.io)

Hacker News

Hi HN! I'm Louw, founder of the enterprise insurtech scale-up Root[0]. Over the last 8 years, my inbox has been flooded with unsolicited emails, especially since early 2023. Recruitment services, outsourced software development agencies, and a crazy amount of lead generation services (thanks, Apollo!) drowned my inbox. To solve this, I created Unspam. Initially, it was a simple tool for myself and fellow founders to reduce noise. And it worked — about 10% of my emails were swiftly and accurately categorized as unsolicited messages. Given its success, I've decided to package and share Unspam with the broader community, evolving it into Unspam.io. How it works: 1. Hook up your Gmail 2. Unspam monitors received mail in the background 3. Unsolicited emails are labeled and archived Please try it out and let me know your feedback. What would you improve? https://unspam.io --- [0] https://rootplatform.com [1] PS: I value privacy intensely. Unspam doesn’t record, store, or train on your emails. No need to.
