Real mailboxes, quietly secured.

"I love how simple it is."

PaperKarma stopped the junk mail I'd been getting for years. Super easy to use, and actually kind of fun!

"The only thing that has actually reduced my junk mail."

I recently moved and low and behold ... I started receiving new junk mail. What a pain! I have been an avid user of PaperKarma once before and find it to be very effective.

"Finally, my mailbox is peaceful"

As POA for my mother now, I learned Social Security death records make all widows / widowers vulnerable to every non-profit asking for cash. Everything I have been bombarded with since my father passed has finally stopped.

The problem

It’s not just clutter.

Junk mail steals more than your evenings. Three real costs hiding in your mailbox right now.

Elder Scams

Predatory mail aimed at seniors.

Sweepstakes letters, charity solicitations and political donation requests disproportionately target older adults — and bank accounts.

"My father (85) was sending checks every month to multiple non-profits thinking they were bills. The mail even looked like bills! PaperKarma stopped it."
Mail-based Identity Theft

Thieves don't need your wallet. Your mailbox will do.

Every prescreened credit offer in your mailbox is a pre-approved application a thief can hijack. Opting out is one of the highest-leverage steps for reducing ID theft.

"It used to take a chunk of my weekend to shred everything. Now I know I'm secure without all the hassle."
What you're missing

Critical mail buried in the pile.

Jury summons, paychecks, tax forms, and legal notices get tossed alongside catalogs because nobody opens the daily stack anymore. The cost of missing one is real.

"We found my wife's mandatory Biometrics appointment letter in our junk drawer, stuck between coupon books. That missed appointment cost us $2k in legal fees to get her citizenship application back on track."

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Does PaperKarma actually work?

Yes. PaperKarma eliminates 90%+ of junk mail addressed to you by name, with visible results in 2-3 months. We’ve handled millions of opt-out requests across thousands of verified mailers and have been a top-rated app in the App Store & Google Play for over 15 years!

What types of junk mail can PaperKarma stop?

Catalogs, charity solicitations, credit-card and insurance offers, large national mailers, political mail (excepting ballot mail), magazines and yellow pages. PaperKarma is also the only mail preference service that goes deep and does the work to stop the local mailers you suggest to us.

How long does it take for PaperKarma to work?

Most opt-out requests are processed within 24 hours, but larger mailers tend to print 1–3 campaign waves in advance so you’ll truly see meaningful results in about 2-3 months. Seasonal senders will cycle out over a year.

Can PaperKarma stop mail for previous residents?

Yes. Add the previous resident’s name to your account, then submit those photos like any other junk mail — we’ll request opt-outs from each mailer for that name at your address. You can add unlimited names per account, so this works whether you just moved in or inherited a decade of someone else’s catalogs.

How does PaperKarma make money?

A simple subscription — that’s it. No ads, no data sales, no payments from mailers. Our only incentive is to get rid of your junk mail well enough to earn your positive review and referral.

Is PaperKarma safe? Does it sell my data?

No, we never sell, share, or rent your data. PaperKarma runs on your subscription, not ads or data sales. When we contact mailers via email (just one of many methods), we use a proxy so your real address stays private.

Can I cancel PaperKarma anytime?

Yes — anytime, no phone calls or retention forms. Manage app subscriptions in your Apple or Google account; web subscriptions cancel from your account page. Opt-out requests already submitted stay processed. If you’re not satisifed we also offer a 90-day money-back guarantee.
