Automatically archive old emails from your Gmail inbox each day

The problem it solves

Old emails pile up in your inbox and make it harder to see what's actually new and needs your attention. Manually archiving them is a chore you keep putting off.

Who it fits

Professionals and solopreneurs who want a consistently clean Gmail inbox without doing the cleanup themselves.

How it works

  1. The system runs automatically every day at a set time
  2. It finds inbox messages older than 24 hours
  3. Each one is removed from the inbox and archived
What you get

Inbox that resets itself each morning

You get a Gmail inbox that clears itself out each morning, so nothing older than a day sits there cluttering your view.

What you get

A Gmail inbox that only shows recent messages, with older ones archived automatically.

What you need

A Gmail account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
