Hey Product Hunt! ✌️ It's been almost 9 months since we launched the first MVP version of Leave Me Alone and since then we have; 💯 Scanned over 20,000,000 emails 🙅‍♀️ Seen over 700,000 subscriptions 🤗 Unsubscribed users from over 200,000 of them To celebrate, today we're launching the official Leave Me Alone version 2.0. You might recognise that the core product is the same as always, but we've rebuilt everything from the ground up to be faster, more resilient, and more effective at unsubscribing you. Read the entire launch announcement here. Here's a run-down of our new and improved product. 💌 All the inboxes! 📬 We've added support for all your inboxes including Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, FastMail, AOL, and Yahoo. Plus, we've introduced IMAP support so you can connect any other inbox you might have. You can also now attach all your inboxes to a single account and deal with all those subscriptions together! 🅰️ Scoring subscriptions 🅱️ Using aggregated anonymous usage data we've created an algorithm that we're calling Subscription Score. We score each mailing list you receive using how frequently it's been seen before, how many times it's been unsubscribed from, how many addresses they send from, how many emails they send a month and many other data points. Using this we give each email a rank from A to F, so you can instantly see if it's worth keeping. 💰 One credit = one unsubscribe 💸 Unlike our competitors, we've always charged a fee for unsubscribing you. This is how you know we don't need to sell your data in order to keep afloat. With v2.0 we've made our payment system fairer and easier to understand (read more here) - now we only charge based on which emails you want to unsubscribe from. You can buy credit packages starting at $2.50 for 50 credits, all the way up to $10.50 for 300 credits. 👭 Teams Plan 👬 During v1.0 many users asked us if we offered a monthly subscription plan, or a way for them to buy scans for their entire office. To help with this we've introduced a plan for Teams. On the teams plan you pay a fixed rate monthly per seat for unlimited unsubscribes. 🌳 Unsubscribe from CO₂ Emissions 🌍 We participated in a challenge to help fix the climate. During research we discovered that unwanted emails contributed a whopping 986,000 tonnes of carbon to the atmosphere every day! So we implemented a way to see how much carbon you can offset by unsubscribing - check it out here. Plus, we partnered with One Tree Planted to let all users donate an extra $1 when purchasing credits to go towards planting a tree! To celebrate our launch day we're offering Product Hunt users a special discount - just use the coupon KITTY_V2 when you purchase a package of credits 😇 --- 👫 Who are we? James and I are a couple of travelling indie founders. Leave Me Alone is proud to be an open startup, which means you can see all of our metrics publicly including revenue, users, and other stats on our open page! ⭐ Special thanks Thank you so much to @iamarnob and @mshra_ji for once again creating us an amazing logo GIF! Thank you to all of our beta testers, everybody on Twitter, Women Make, Makerlog, and new friends in Bali for the incredible support, feedback, and all-round love for Leave Me Alone. --- We will be on Product Hunt and live streaming all day (see below). If we don’t get back to you, we have probably gone to sleep (since we are UTC+8) and we’ll be sure to reply tomorrow 💜 - Danielle & James

Danielle Johnson

Ethan
This is a really awesome product! It's super useful for slimming down your inbox, removing all those unwanted subscriptions is a big stress reliever 😄 The product is really fast, nicely designed, and easy to use. Plus it has some really friendly makers! 😁
Danielle Johnson
@booligoosh Thank you so much Ethan! I am so pleased that we helped you to bring some more calm and control back into your life :)
Anne-Laure Le Cunff
Leave Me Alone is part of a new wave of privacy-first products where the makers really care about their users. The amount of love and effort @dinkydani21 and @jamesivings have poured into the app is incredible, and it's been very cool to follow their journey around the world as a nomad couple. Leave Me Alone is truly useful, easy to use, runs on beer, will give you back control of your inbox, and is built with 100% transparency.
Danielle Johnson
@anthilemoon amazing comment Anne-Laure, thank you! We really do care about privacy, it is at the core of our business and our values . Thank you for following our journey and using Leave Me Alone ❤️
Brendan Weinstein
An amazing product by two of the most genuine Indie Makers @dinkydani21 and @jivings. Not only does LMA2.0 solve the tedious and pain-stacking issue of unsubscribing from emails but also measuring the impact emails have on our carbon footprint! Keep up the amazing work Danielle + James, and thank you for ensuring the privacy of our data Danielle and James!
Danielle Johnson
@bmweinstein thank you so much Brendan :)
Lee Fuhr
@dinkydani21 Ah, I'd forgotten about ya! Right away I went in, bought some credits, and got to unsubbing. But I got an error that I had no credits. Argh. I refreshed… and then the 5 credits (from being an old user, I think) showed up. Unsubbed from a couple things and quickly ran out of credits. My 100 credits aren't showing up. Re-launch day hiccups?
Danielle Johnson
@cozysd hey Lee, oh no I'm sorry to hear that :( can you send us an in-app message or email us so we can get this sorted for you? Thank you for your support!
Steph Smith
I love LMA!!! After using the product for the first time, I immediately bought scans for my entire team. Now that there are team plans, I would encourage other leaders/companies to make a small investment that will save their teams hours of productivity moving forward. Congrats on building such a great product! 💌
Danielle Johnson
@stephsmith This is so incredible thank you Steph! You are our number 1 customer and your support and recommendation to other teams means so much to us :)
Steven Jacobs
Hi guys, great product. I seem to be getting a lot of messages stating "unsubscribed failed...". What does this mean?
Danielle Johnson
@stevenjacobs_ hey Steven, this could be for a number of reasons (or launch day server load!) can you send us a message in the in-app chat or to email danielle@leavemealone.app and I'll take a look at your account? :)
James Ivings
@stevenjacobs_ @leavemealone @dinkydani21 It looks like our unsubscriber was having a bit of a tantrum. I've given it a poke and it's behaving much better now!
Jesse Middleton
Unbelievably simple concept that's executed incredibly well. I've already purchased another 200 credits. If there were keyboard shortcuts to quickly unsub down the list it'd get an A+. Instead it's just an A. :)
Danielle Johnson
@srcasm thank you Jesse! That's great feedback, and keyboard shortcuts are actually on our roadmap - you can vote for this feature if you like :) leavemealone.app/roadmap
jonathan
hey team! Thanks for this! i'm excited! but am i missing something, or do i have to go through and unsubscribe to every email 1x1 with the toggle?
Danielle Johnson
@pomajp hey! Yes, we show you all of the subscription emails in your inbox and you can unsubscribe from the ones you don't want using the toggle :)
Harry Dry
Looks awesome and super simple. Look forward to chatting later on. Pleasure to see your still subscribed!
Danielle Johnson
@harrydry Can't wait to talk to you later Harry!!
Joey Tawadrous
Even though I only used the tool once, I was very very happy with how easy it was to login and remove my spam emails!! Lovely user experience and a great UI.
Danielle Johnson
@joey_tawadrous that's awesome Joey thank you! If you come back to Leave Me Alone now it's changed quite a bit :D
Pelle Wessman
Looks great 🙌 For extra privacy, would it be possible to optionally connect to gmail using the “https://www.googleapis.com/auth/...” scope? So that just metadata like email headers, not the actual content, is shared? 🙏
Danielle Johnson
@voxpelli hey! yes we could, but it was our intention to search the content for unsubscribe links too. In terms of the Gmail API they are both restricted scopes but we could definitely give people the choice. Thank you for the suggestion :)
Mike Holford
LMA is one of my favourite recent apps made by two very passionate makers. Watching @dinkydani21 and @jamesivings work tirelessly on improving the UX, pricing structure the products design as they travel has been very inspiring. I really love the way they have worked in helping the environment with their tech product and think it's something a lot of companies and makers can take note of!
Danielle Johnson
@mikelholford Thank you so much Mike! We have absolutely loved working on LMA and improving everything in the last 9 months. I am so, so happy with the product now and can't wait to continue improving and promoting it!
~spencer~
Great work to the whole team, love following along with your progress. You made a great product and I love how active & engaged you are with it :^)
Danielle Johnson
@stuffbyspencer thank you so much for following!
Pradip Khakhar
Been using LMA since it first launched. It's been amazing to have a front-row seat watching LMA grow. 💪 Well done @dinkydani21 and @jamesivings 🙌 LMA is super simple to use and super easy to unsubscribe from unwanted emails. 🎯 When I first started using LMA my inbox was ridiculous. Love the privacy-first focus and trees were planted. 🌲 ok, that reminds me it's time for another scan... 📬
Danielle Johnson
@pradipcloud thank you so much for all of your support while we have figured out how to grow! You have given us so much feedback that has helped to make Leave Me Alone what it is today <3. Enjoy your cleaner inbox!
Kelly Miller
LMA is THE BEST & Danielle and James are SO great at listening to user needs and quickly incorporating. Watching this product grow has been incredible. All their success is so well deserved!!
Danielle Johnson
@kellyfmill aw this is so lovely to read! We love being able to respond so quickly, hopefully we can continue to do this :)
Valentin Cazin
Just received a mail from Google devs saying Leave Me Alone won't be able to access our datas anymore. Please guys go through their security check, we need you !
Luke Chadwick
I've been a big user of LeaveMeAlone since they first launched last year. It has made a huge difference to my inbox and the amount of newsletter spam that I receive. I wrote a case study on Maker Mag about just how amazing the changes have been and how much potential there is for time saving across both individual and team uses. https://makermag.com/2019/07/01/...
Danielle Johnson
@vertis Thank you so much Luke! Your case study is actually linked as an article for this launch - you've helped us so much :)
Ebrahim-Khalil Hassen
I have tried lots of solutions to bulk unsubscribe. Leave Me Alone is by far the easiest and values my privacy. I was also a beta tester and wonderful to see some of the ideas suggested being incorporated in V2.
Danielle Johnson
@ebrahimkhalil thank you soooo much for beta testing! You really helped to shape the v2 that you're seeing today <3
Andrea Hernández✨
Congrats on the launch guys!!! Wishing you continued success, thanks for putting our privacy first!!!
