Inbox Hygiene

Kill the noise. One command.

Your AI spots the newsletters you never read. Pontius unsubscribes instantly — RFC 8058 one-click when supported, graceful fallbacks when not. Clean inbox, better signal.

Most email clients make you click through to a webpage. Pontius handles RFC 8058 natively — instant unsubscribe without leaving your terminal. Your AI can finally clean house.

Newsletter noise buries what matters

Every newsletter you signed up for years ago is still hitting your inbox. Every promotional email from every purchase. Your AI has to wade through noise to find the signal — and unsubscribing manually is tedious enough that you never do it.

The friction of unsubscribing is high enough that you just... don't. So the noise keeps growing, and your AI keeps wasting tokens on emails you'll never read.

AI wastes tokens processing emails you'll never read
Every sender has a different unsubscribe flow
Clicking through webpages breaks your workflow
Some require entering your email again, or logging in
So you never actually do it — the noise just grows

Clean inbox. Better signal. Less noise for everyone.

Every newsletter you unsubscribe from is one less distraction — for you and your AI. Pontius makes it effortless, so you actually do it.

Instant unsubscribe, intelligent fallbacks

Pontius reads List-Unsubscribe headers and handles them the smart way. One-click POST when RFC 8058 is supported (most modern senders). Browser fallback for legacy links. Your AI can finally clean house.

One-click when supported

RFC 8058 compliant senders (Mailchimp, ConvertKit, most modern ESPs) get an instant POST request. Unsubscribed in milliseconds.

Graceful fallbacks

HTTPS links open in your browser. Mailto links show the address. Always a path forward.

Token-optimized

Only fetches the unsubscribe headers — not the whole email body. Minimal cost, maximum efficiency.

AI-driven cleanup

Your AI spots patterns — "you always archive newsletters from X" — and suggests unsubscribing. Proactive inbox hygiene.

How it works

1

RFC 8058 One-Click

If the sender supports List-Unsubscribe-Post, Pontius POSTs directly. Instant, no browser, no confirmation page.

2

HTTPS Fallback

If only an HTTPS unsubscribe link is available, Pontius opens it in your default browser.

3

Mailto Fallback

If only a mailto link exists, Pontius shows you the email address to send your unsubscribe request.

Most modern email senders (Mailchimp, ConvertKit, Buttondown, etc.) support RFC 8058 one-click.
