Mail Memories

> 100% local, no cloud, no subscriptions, no AI. The world needs more of this

I like the idea. Google Takeout works, but a focused app that helps you actually find and recover old photos could still be useful.

idk if other tools do it for free, but cool idea, hope that it gains the deserved visibility

This place can get a little snarky but congrats on shipping!

First, I really love this idea, and I thank you for getting it into my head. That said, if no AI is really important, I guess it's worth $29, though I can't tell if you used AI…

Watching this thread unfold over 24h was illuminating. The biggest pushback seemed to be the price: people are upset it's priced at $30. Some suggested $3. A few suggested open…

The website is clearly AI-written (along with the text), and the screenshot also looks quite like the styles that LLMs love

If I have to look at yet another website with this same fucking AI-generated theme I'm gonna have to kill somebody.

For $30 you should sign your binary so you don't have a UAC popup. Also is it not doable with Google takeout ( with Gmail )?

It worked fist shot, and found 3k+ photos, which feels about right. Validated with Vibes. It's going to take more than $30 in time to look at them all, and it's 3k+ more photos…

My question is why not use IMAP?

I was monitoring this thread because of the comments. Unsure how I came across this post to begin with! (was it on the FP?) You really handled all the feedback well and if you…

Or you can just use Google Takeout: https://takeout.google.com Deselect everything, select "Mail", create export, wait until it's done, and then download the zip.

Interesting! I already have a Python script that can download anything from Gmail. Making it a product?! Really have not thought about it! Which is why I am probably broke Ha Ha
