Privacy First

Your Data Stays Secure

GrabMail is built with privacy as the foundation. We don't collect, store, or share your personal data. Here's what we do:

Only reads attachment metadata
Never reads email body content
No data stored on external servers
All processing happens locally
AI only sees: filename, sender, subject, file size

✓ Open source — review the code yourself
✓ GDPR, CCPA, and COPPA compliant
✓ Transparent permissions — only what we need

Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely. GrabMail operates entirely locally in your browser. We only access attachment metadata (filename, sender, date, size) — never email content. No data is stored on external servers, and you can review our open-source code anytime.

No! Manual Search mode works perfectly without AI. Use keyword filters, sender filters, file type selection, and date ranges for precise control. Choose AI mode only if you prefer natural language descriptions.

We support Claude (Anthropic), Gemini (Google), and OpenRouter. You provide your own API key directly to your chosen provider — we never handle your keys on our servers.

We request minimal permissions: identity (for Gmail OAuth), downloads (to save files), storage (to remember preferences), and gmail.googleapis.com (read-only access). We never modify or delete emails.

Yes! You can process up to 200 emails per search and download all matching attachments as a single ZIP file or individually. Download speed depends on file sizes and your connection.

GrabMail is free to use. Manual Search mode requires no API keys. For AI mode, you'll need your own API key from your chosen provider (Claude, Gemini, or OpenRouter).
