FAQPage Schema
How do I extract and organize code attachments from Gmail?▼

Extracting Gmail code attachments involves scanning your labels to group files by date and thread into a local, browsable catalog. You need OAuth credentials for Gmail API access and a local Python environment to run the scanner and UI.

Can I browse my Gmail code archive offline?▼

You can browse Gmail code attachments offline using a retro Gmail-style local web UI. The scanner fetches and organizes files directly to your machine, allowing you to explore the cataloged code without an active internet connection.

How does PII scrubbing work with Gmail code attachments?▼

PII scrubbing functions as an optional AI enrichment step to improve privacy and data quality when archiving Gmail code attachments. It processes extracted files locally to help remove sensitive personal information before browsing.
