A few months ago I shared Paperweight here. An open-source desktop app that scans your inbox to map out your digital footprint.

Every account you create, every service you sign up for, every online purchase is connected to your email address. Most people have 100+ accounts they've forgotten about, creating security risks and privacy exposure.

Local-first. Your inbox is scanned on your own device, your data never leaves it, and there is no account or cloud component.

Since last time, a lot has changed:

  • New pii analysis engine to check addresses, phones, IBANs, national IDs, cards, and more
  • Improved multi-language lexicons for better classification
  • Track GDPR data requests you send fromPaperweight
  • Improved sync, receiver, hide-my-email aliases, and message tagging
  • Fully verified builds for Apple, Windows and Gmail OAuth connections
  • Several minor improvements and bug fixes

That does look interesting - did someone here take a look at the code to ensure that this really private information is not getting exfiltrated?

Currently at around 280 Github stars and a few contributors. And here's some more context https://lemmy.ml/post/47559040

I understand you don't want to take my word for it, but I can assure you the App uses no external services.
