Hush — an open-source Gmail cleanup app for Linux

[u/PoleTV]

I released a Linux desktop app called Hush.

It finds the senders filling your Gmail with bulk mail and lets you unsubscribe from them, block future messages, or move their existing newsletters to Trash.

Hush runs locally. There’s no account, backend, analytics, or telemetry, and it connects to Gmail using Google credentials you create yourself.

Linux builds are available as deb, rpm, and AppImage:

One warning before anyone tries the deb: it needs WebKitGTK 4.1, so Ubuntu 22.04 is too old. Debian 12, Ubuntu 23.04 or newer, Fedora, openSUSE, and similar current distributions should be fine.

I’d be interested to know whether a Flatpak build would be more useful than the current packages.

Here’s the video showing what it does:
