In simple English
This tool helps you gather contacts from your own email inbox and clean the list so bad addresses do not bounce. It also extracts contact details from email signatures and lets you send marketing campaigns straight from your own server. You own all your data and do not pay a monthly fee to an external service. Running it requires setting up several background services on your machine, so expect some technical setup work. It costs nothing for the software itself, but you might pay for optional third-party verification services.
What it is
Leadminer is an open-source tool for managing contacts, cleaning email lists, and sending marketing campaigns. It runs on your own hardware using Docker (a way to run a program inside its own sealed box, so it cannot break anything else on your server) and Supabase (an open-source database system that stores your app data).
What it is good for
Solo founders and small business owners who want to collect leads from their inbox and run email campaigns without sharing customer lists with third-party software companies.
- Runs on your own server so you keep complete control of your contact data.
- Extracts contact information directly from email signatures using language models.
- Includes built-in campaign sending and tracking features.
- Requires Docker (a way to run a program inside its own sealed box, so it cannot break anything else on your server) and multiple services running at the same time.
- Uses AGPL-3.0 licence (a strict open-source licence that requires you to share your code if you modify this app and let people use it over a network).
