How Lifesweeper works
Five easy steps that turn years of random sign-ups into a list you can knock over in an afternoon.
1. Connect your inbox
You link Gmail and give us read-only access. We look at who emailed you, the subject line, the date and any unsubscribe link — nothing else. We never open your emails or attachments, and you can unhook your inbox whenever you like. Outlook is on the way.
2. We work out who's who
Sign-up emails, receipts, billing notices and marketing blasts get bundled up by company. Each company shows up once, with what it's for, when it last emailed you, and whether it's a newsletter or something you're paying for.
3. You get a score
Your Digital Life Score is a simple number out of 100. Forgotten accounts, newsletters you never read, live subscriptions and data leaks pull it down. Dealing with them pushes it back up.
4. You pick what happens
For anything we find you can keep it, ignore it, unsubscribe, cancel a subscription or ask for the account to be deleted. Public listings can be flagged for a takedown request.
5. We keep it honest
When you ask for something, we mark it as asked. It only shows as done once the company actually confirms — we won't pretend something's sorted when it isn't.
What's not ready yet
- Gmail works today. Outlook isn't connected yet.
- Unsubscribes happen for real when the sender supports one click. If they don't, we open their page for you and keep track of it. Cancelling and deleting accounts is guided — we walk you through it rather than doing it behind the scenes.
- Data-leak checks are switched off until we plug in a leak-data provider — we'd rather say so than guess. Public listings are placeholders until that data source is connected.
