MailScrub is a terminal UI application that helps users bulk unsubscribe from Gmail newsletters by locally syncing email headers and intelligently grouping senders. It's interesting because it combines Gmail API integration with a TUI interface, handles complex unsubscribe workflows (including RFC 2369 compliance and alias detection), and maintains complete privacy by storing everything locally.

Target audience: individual users, developers, privacy-conscious email users
