Per-email progress during bulk unsubscribe

Keep the bulk clean-up running when the phone locks

Retry unsubscribes that failed for a temporary reason

Live progress inside a very large sender when deleting

When you press Open link, the row turns green straight away. The link sometimes lands on a login wall, a preference centre or a 404, and today there is no way to tell us it did not work. We would add a small “Did it work? Yes / Didn’t work” prompt on the row, so a failed link is recorded honestly and the sender gets the block option instead of a false tick.

Tell us when an Open-link unsubscribe did not work

We are running a published study from a lab mailbox: subscribe to hundreds of real brands, unsubscribe from all of them, then measure who is still emailing 30 and 60 days later. The result is a public dataset and an annual index of the senders that ignore you. Day-30 read is done; day-60 lands in October, publication follows.

Ghost Rate Index: which senders actually honour an unsubscribe

Shipped 2026. A set of single-purpose tools on the site that work without signing in: check whether an unsubscribe link is safe to click, look up a sender’s reputation, and estimate how much inbox you would reclaim. Handy on their own, and a low-risk way to see how we think before connecting a mailbox.

Free tools that need no account

Shipped September 2026. The scan page now walks you through it: 1 scan your mailbox, 2 unsubscribe from the senders you pick, 3 block the ones that never honour it, 4 review the result and what was reclaimed. Each step shows only what it needs, works one-handed on a phone, and remembers where you were.

Guided four-step scan

Pick up an interrupted scan, or see what it saved

Shipped July 2026. Some senders put a JavaScript challenge in front of their unsubscribe page, which refuses a plain request. When that happens we retry with a real browser that answers the challenge the way yours would, and record the outcome. If a page needs a human to solve a CAPTCHA we stop and hand you the link rather than pretend.

Browser-assisted unsubscribe for senders behind bot walls

Shipped August 2026. A failed unsubscribe is no longer a dead end: block the sender and their mail is swept out of your inbox automatically, usually within the hour, on Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo and IMAP alike. Nothing is deleted, it stays in your mailbox, and you can unblock any sender in one click. Senders known to ignore unsubscribes are offered for blocking in step 3 of the guided scan.
