Overview
Inbox Zero runs against a Gmail or Outlook account to organize mail by plain-English rules, pre-draft replies in your style, and save attachments to Google Drive or OneDrive. It also has bulk unsubscribe and archive, cold email blocking, meeting briefs, and a Slack or Telegram chat interface. A separate email client (web and Electron desktop) is included; the iOS app is not open source.
Who it is for: Self-hosters who want an AI layer over Gmail or Outlook
Strengths
- Supports both Gmail and Outlook, with rules written in plain English
- Chat control from Slack or Telegram
- Local dev mode needs no OAuth credentials or AI API keys
- Self-host setup wizard via npx CLI, plus Docker images per release
Weaknesses
- License is detected as NOASSERTION, so terms need manual checking
- Real use needs your own Google or Microsoft OAuth setup
- iOS app is closed source; Android app is an older React Native build
- Needs PostgreSQL and Redis alongside the Next.js app
What it needs
- no GPU
- Docker + Compose
- Needs Docker, Node.js 24+, PostgreSQL, Redis, Gmail or Outlook OAuth app
- port 3000
