Sweep is a desktop app for Gmail. See what’s filling your inbox, free up storage, unsubscribe from what you never read, and set cleanup rules that run on their own, with a preview before every change and undo afterwards.
Gmail today. macOS first.
Four steps, and you stay in control the whole way.
Your browser opens Google’s own sign-in page. We never see your password. Prefer to look around first? Sweep starts on a demo mailbox.
Totals appear straight away while Sweep reads message headers (sender, subject, date, size, labels) on your computer and shows who fills your inbox.
Pick a suggestion or a ready-made rule, or write your own, and see exactly which messages it would touch. Nothing changes yet.
Apply it once, or let it run automatically. Every change is logged in Activity and can be undone.
Practical tools for the mess, not another inbox to check.
See how much mail you have, how much is unread, which Gmail tabs it lands in, and your biggest senders. Totals show immediately, even on a huge inbox.
See how full your Google storage is and what to clear: large attachments and old promotions, social, and updates mail. Each suggestion opens a page where you choose the emails, and shows how much room you’d gain first.
Everyone who emails you and how often. Search the list, scan the whole inbox for exact totals, and act on one sender’s mail at a time.
Ready-made rules for old promotions, social notifications, big old attachments, and old updates, or build your own: label, archive, trash, or mark as read. Run a rule once or let it run automatically.
Find the newsletters and senders you never open. Unsubscribe in one click when the sender supports it, or auto-archive their mail instead.
Every change Sweep makes is logged, and each one can be reversed from the Activity page. Sweep moves mail to Trash but never permanently deletes anything itself.
Keep Sweep in your menu bar so automatic rules keep working after you close the window. Quit it from there any time, or pause it.
Describe a rule in a sentence, like “move anything from my landlord to a Housing label,” and review the draft before it’s saved. Uses your own Anthropic API key, and only that sentence is sent, never your mail.
The app runs on your computer. There is no Sweep server that holds your mail.
Sweep is in development and not yet available to download. Public release depends on Google’s review of the app, which is in progress.
Installer downloads will appear here when the app is ready.
No. The app talks directly between your computer and Google. We run no server that receives your mail.
Permission to read and modify your Gmail so it can apply labels, archive, and move mail to Trash, plus a minimal permission to read your storage usage. It does not ask to send mail, delete it permanently, or read your Drive files.
Only if you apply a rule or cleanup that moves mail to Trash, and you see what it will move first. Gmail keeps Trash for 30 days, so you can undo from the Activity page. Space is freed when Gmail empties Trash, or right away if you empty it yourself.
Yes. Each change is logged, and you can undo it from the Activity page.
They run while Sweep is open. Turn on “Keep running” and Sweep stays in your menu bar after you close the window, so they keep working.
No. It’s optional and off by default. If you add your own Anthropic API key, Sweep sends the sentence you type to Anthropic to draft a rule. It never sends your mail, and you review the draft before it’s saved.
Gmail on macOS is first. Outlook and other platforms are planned.
