What QuiteInbox is
QuiteInbox is a free web app for finding, managing, and unsubscribing from Gmail subscriptions. It detects subscriptions using RFC 8058 headers and heuristics, and supports one-click, HTTP link, and mailto unsubscribe methods. Users can unsubscribe from multiple senders and archive or delete older subscription messages. It supports Google Workspace accounts when the administrator permits third-party OAuth apps and the Gmail API, but does not support non-Gmail accounts. QuiteInbox uses Google OAuth 2.0 with PKCE and asks for Gmail permissions users authorize. The required gmail.readonly scope reads headers and metadata; optional gmail.modify and gmail.send scopes enable cleanup and sending unsubscribe emails. The app says it stores minimal metadata in the browser and does not retain email content or message bodies. It keeps a local activity log and supports JSON export of settings and action logs. Each device stores its own data, so settings and logs need manual transfer between devices. Protected keywords aim to prevent accidental deletion, but their heuristic checks may miss sensitive emails.
