Deploy and Host Inboxorcist on Railway

Inboxorcist is a powerful Gmail cleanup tool with advanced filtering capabilities. Bulk delete emails by sender, category, date range, size, and more. Visualize storage savings before you delete. Unsubscribe from unwanted senders in bulk. Handles 100k+ emails that Gmail's native UI simply cannot.

About Hosting Inboxorcist

Inboxorcist gives you complete control over your Gmail inbox cleanup. Unlike cloud-based email cleaners that read your emails on their servers, Inboxorcist runs entirely on your own infrastructure. Connect multiple Gmail accounts, apply powerful filters to find exactly what you want to delete, preview how much storage you'll reclaim, and execute bulk deletions that would take hours manually. The app syncs your email metadata locally, enabling lightning-fast searches across millions of messages without repeatedly hitting Gmail's API.

Common Use Cases

  • Reclaim Storage - Filter by size to find and delete emails with large attachments. See exactly how many GB you'll free before clicking delete.
  • Bulk Unsubscribe - Find all emails from promotional senders, newsletters, and marketing lists. Unsubscribe and delete years of accumulated junk in one action.
  • Inbox Archaeology - Use advanced filters (sender domain, date range, category, labels) to surgically remove old emails while keeping what matters.
  • Multi-Account Cleanup - Connect multiple Gmail accounts and clean them all from a single dashboard.

Dependencies for Inboxorcist Hosting

  • PostgreSQL database (provisioned automatically by this template)
  • Google OAuth credentials (setup guide)

Why Deploy Inboxorcist on Railway?

Railway provides the simplest path to self-hosting Inboxorcist. One click provisions everything you need - the app, PostgreSQL database, and automatic HTTPS. Your email metadata stays on your Railway instance, not on some third-party email cleaner's servers.

Unlike browser extensions or SaaS email cleaners that require constant access to your inbox, Inboxorcist syncs once and works locally. Railway's persistent storage means your sync data survives restarts, so you're not re-downloading metadata every time. Scale up when cleaning a massive inbox, scale down when idle - pay only for what you use.
