Gmail maintenance from your own computer.
bitshell is a private, locally operated tool for associating Gmail accounts with isolated browser environments and carrying out user-requested mailbox maintenance through the Gmail API.
What bitshell does
- Verifies that the authorized Gmail account matches the locally bound account.
- Finds messages in the account's Sent mailbox when the user starts a cleanup task.
- Moves those messages to Gmail Trash; it does not permanently delete them.
- Runs on the user's Windows computer and manages local browser environments.
Google account access
bitshell requests the gmail.modify scope because moving a message
to Trash changes mailbox data. Each personal Google account must explicitly
authorize access. The tool validates the account identity before performing a
mailbox operation.
OAuth refresh tokens are encrypted with Windows Data Protection API for the current Windows user and kept in a local SQLite database. They are not displayed in the dashboard or written to application logs.
