Keep your inbox at only what still needs you

20 followers

zero keeps every Gmail inbox — across all your accounts — at only what still needs you. A quiet macOS menu-bar agent reads each thread, judges what's genuinely an open loop awaiting you, and sets everything else aside. Nothing is ever deleted: archiving just adds a dated recovery label, so every run is reversible with one search. Editable categories, replies drafted in your own voice, native Liquid Glass. Bring your own Google, Codex, or Claude.

Hi Product Hunt 👋 I built zero because no email tool I tried was something I actually trusted to touch my inbox. They either delete things, or they're a whole new mail client I'm supposed to live inside. I just wanted my inbox to quietly stay at "only what still needs me." So that's the one job zero does. A quiet macOS menu-bar agent reads each thread across all your Gmail accounts, decides what's a genuine open loop (something actually awaiting your reply), and sets everything else aside. The key part: nothing is ever deleted. "Archiving" just removes the inbox label and adds a dated recovery label, so every single run is reversible with one search. That reversibility is the whole design — it's what makes it sane to let an agent near your email at all. It also learns your keep/archive habits over time, drafts replies in your own voice, and is built native for macOS. You bring your own Google account + Claude, so your mail and keys stay on your machine. It's free and source-available. I'd genuinely love your feedback on the trust model — what would make you comfortable letting something like this run on your inbox?

I built an email app for my own inbox and I'm not sure I got the core idea right

So I run a small agency and I've got like 4 Gmail accounts, and for years my inbox has been the thing that quietly stresses me out. Not the volume exactly. More that I could never tell what actually needed me from what was just sitting there looking important.

I tried everything over the years. Labels, filters, priority inbox, the lot. They all just sort your mail into neat piles. None of them actually tell you "this one's on you, deal with it", so you still end up reading everything to work out what matters.
