Gmail connection through Google OAuth
Connects with official Google OAuth so PureBox can analyze your Gmail history without asking for your password. It uses sender, subject, and a short preview to classify messages.
PureBox
PureBox is an AI email cleanup tool for Gmail that groups messages into actionable tracks, waits for your approval, and keeps inbox sorting reversible.
AI inbox triage for Gmail
PureBox is an AI email cleanup tool for Gmail that scans your inbox, classifies messages, and groups routine clutter into clear action tracks. It focuses on helping you review mail in batches rather than sorting every message one by one.
The product is designed around review-first control: PureBox shows what it would do, explains why, and waits for approval before applying archive, trash, or label actions in your real Gmail account. A free sample scan checks up to 1,000 emails, while Pro extends the workflow to full-inbox coverage and ongoing classification for new mail.
Core capabilities
Three-track inbox triage
Groups mail into Attention, Archive, and Trash with a plain-language reason attached to each suggestion, so you can see why a message was classified a certain way.
Approval before action
Keeps every cleanup review-first by default. You can approve a whole track at once or review items individually before anything changes in Gmail.
Ongoing classification on Pro
On Pro, PureBox classifies new mail as it arrives and can auto-scan daily so routine clutter does not quietly rebuild between manual reviews.
Personalized sorting from inbox history
Uses your own Gmail history and sender patterns to decide what matters to you, including which messages you open, reply to, archive, or leave unread.
Reversible cleanup in Gmail
Shows the cleanup as standard Gmail actions and keeps changes reversible, with history available so you can restore mail if needed.
Where PureBox fits
Preview inbox cleanup before committing
Use the free sample scan to see what portion of your inbox is routine clutter before deciding whether the cleanup is worth acting on.
Triage a backlogged inbox
For Gmail users with years of accumulated messages, PureBox can group recurring clutter into batches so a large inbox can be reviewed more efficiently.
Maintain ongoing inbox cleanup
On Pro, new mail can be classified as it arrives, which helps keep newsletters, promos, and other routine messages from building up again.
Pair with an existing AI assistant
People who already use another assistant for writing or summarizing can use PureBox separately for mailbox organization, since it focuses on sorting rather than drafting.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Shows every suggested action before it runs, which makes the workflow easy to review.
- Uses Google OAuth instead of a Gmail password.
- Can be reversed in Gmail after cleanup.
- Personalizes cleanup based on your own sending, reading, and archiving patterns.
- Offers a free sample scan before asking for payment.
Cons
- The free plan is limited to a manual sample scan of up to 1,000 emails, so it does not clean an entire inbox.
- PureBox is centered on Gmail, so it is not presented as a general email platform for other providers.
- Some ongoing automation features are available only on Pro.
FAQ
How does PureBox connect to Gmail and what does it read?
PureBox connects through Google OAuth to your Gmail account and scans sender, subject, and a short preview so it can classify messages. It uses your Gmail history to tailor suggestions, and nothing changes until you approve a cleanup.
What is included in the free plan versus Pro?
The free plan is a manual sample scan of up to 1,000 emails. Pro removes the sample cap and adds unlimited scanning, real-time classification for new mail, continuous scanning, and daily auto-scan.
Can I undo actions after a cleanup?
Yes. Cleanup happens through normal Gmail archive, trash, and label actions, so moved mail can be found and restored in Gmail afterward.
Can I disconnect PureBox later?
Yes. The FAQ says you can revoke Google access anytime, and the security page says disconnecting PureBox stops access immediately. Inactive free accounts are also cleared automatically.
Do I need a separate email app or AI assistant to use it?
PureBox says it works inside your existing Gmail and is built to work alongside assistants such as ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude rather than replace them.
