EmailBuddy
I’ve been working on something really big, it’s been on my mind for maybe a year now and I’ve been working on it for 8 months already, so I want to talk about it. EmailBuddy is your help for your inbox.
What is EmailBuddy?
What is EmailBuddy? He’s supposed to be your one stop shop for cleaning up your email inbox. So for example, if you have like 100,000 emails and you don’t know where to even start, that’s the point of EmailBuddy. It’s supposed to help you in multiple different ways and try to help bring back some structure into your email.
Inbox Health & Score
One key feature we have is our inbox score. There is five main categories that comprise this score. Those are unread emails, spam emails, old newsletters, expired promotions, security emails. These are emails that may not be needed anymore like expired 2fa emails.
If we go a level deeper, we can interact with each score and see which emails are falling under these categories. You can get a summary from EmailBuddy saying what to do, then you can delete emails by cherry picking which ones you don’t need, or you can delete 100 at a time, or if you really don’t want them delete all of them at once.
Cleanup Feature
Another feature is the cleanup feature, this one is my personally favorite it pulls in your last 200 emails (it can get more emails if you click deeper scan) and it will sort it by senders who have sent you the most emails.
So for example, let’s say you have Amazon at the top of this list and it’s showing you have 150 emails. You can click the sender, then you can see all your emails from Amazon. You can get a summary from Emailbuddy and a recommendation on what to do with them.
Also, you will get four key actions: unsubscribe, mark as spam, mark as read, delete all. I like the control and transparency that comes from this feature. You see how much one sender is taking up your inbox and you get to take care of it in whatever way you feel like.
Automation
For the automation feature, there are toggles available that allow you to do delete certain emails such as delete old promos, old receipts, auto phishing emails. When you toggle these and then hit run it will remove all of these emails at once.
This one is a very strong feature, but it can be dangerous since it will or most of the work for the user but can be super effective.
Wrapping up
Those are some of the core features of the app to help people clean up and manage their emails. Currently, I have a roadmap setup for future updates.
If you are interested in the app I’ll leave a link right here if you want to give it a try. At the end of the day this project was for me to learn more about how app development is some and it’s been a blast learning.
