Mail Memories is a desktop utility that crawls a Gmail inbox and extracts every image attachment to a local folder. The app runs entirely on the user’s machine, never storing data in the cloud, and sorts files into year‑based directories for easy browsing. It promises to rescue pictures that are under newsletters and spam. It works on Windows, macOS and Linux, catering to developers.

The scanner connects to Gmail via Google’s App Password protocol, using a 16‑character code that lives only in memory. Mail Memories performs a read‑only scan, copies images in resolution, and preserves EXIF timestamps for chronological ordering. No emails are altered or deleted, and the access token is cleared when the program exits. The tool also generates a simple JSON manifest for integration with backup scripts.

Users can test the service without charge; the app downloads the 50 photos oldest free of charge. A full archive unlocks with a one‑time $29 license per Gmail address, with optional $14 gift tokens for secondary accounts. There are no subscriptions, and all files remain on the user’s hard drive.
