Description

Empty your recycling bin for good(!) and stop unsolicited postal snail mail with the PaperKarma stop junk mail app.

Simply snap a picture to unsubscribe from bulky catalogs, credit card offers and unwanted paper mail delivered to your home address. Reduce clutter, save time and simplify your life!

Are you still receiving junk mail addressed to previous owners or tenants? No problem! PaperKarma allows you to add all the name /address combinations under which you receive physical postal mail.

Take a step toward protecting your privacy while also helping the environment. Each year 77+ billion pieces of unwanted mail overfill US mailboxes, with 44% of these direct mailings ending up in trash landfills (unopened!). The USPS drives over 1.4 billion miles (56,220 laps around Earth) to deliver these ads.

With PaperKarma, you hold the power to reduce your carbon footprint and prevent direct marketing mail from being printed in your name in the first place:

• Simply open the app and snap a pic of the offending junk mail

• We apply some magic to automatically identify and recognize the mailer

• Simply confirm your choice and we work behind the scenes to unsubscribe you. Boom!

That’s it. It’s that easy.

PaperKarma works on most junk mail including the leading national brands and direct mailers: All State, American Airlines AAdvantage, American Express (AmEx), AT&T /Uverse /DirecTV, Capital One, Discover Card, Farmers, Geico, Money Mailer, Retail Me Not, Restoration Hardware (RH), State Farm, United Mileage Plus, Valpak, Wayfair, Xfinity and 100,000+ more national and local mailers, charities, non-profits and organizations.

As the largest "Do Not Mail" registry and directory in the USA, PaperKarma can help stop 90+% of all physical junk mail you receive. We vet, verify and add 100+ new mailers suggested by our users every single day.

PaperKarma has been featured on ABC, CBS, The New York Times, NBC's The Today Show, LifeHacker, TechCrunch, and more. PaperKarma was featured by both Apple and Google on EarthDay 2019.

Comments on PaperKarma - Stop Junk Mail for Android

★★★★★ Bryan Neal · Sep 23, 2023

This app really works. I paid for the lifetime membership, and I very much look forward to the day when junk mail completely ceases to make It's way in my mailbox.

★★★★★ Pat Kiley · Jul 26, 2022

Paper Karma has made a huge difference in the amount of junk mail I receive. Less waste going to recycle.

★★★★★ Kristen Vineyard · Mar 22, 2022

Our family was absolutely drowning in junk mail, 10 to 20 lbs a week! After trying myself for several months of no success to make contact and get our address removed, I finally installed this app and in 3 months, we are now down to 3 or 4 pieces a week! Thank you Paper Karma! Will 100% recommend this service. It's a thousand times worth the few dollars it costs for your choice of subscription!

★☆☆☆☆ Jeremy Whitehead · May 24, 2024

I have had them for months now and still have numerous submissions that I put in on day 1 that are listed as "Pending". As far as I can tell - this is a phony service that really does nothing. If anything, I'd say that I have MORE junk mail coming to the house than before which leads me to believe that they're doing just the opposite to their stated mission.

★★☆☆☆ Julie Byars · Oct 1, 2022

It seems like it's working to stop mail but the app NEVER recognizes the company name from the photo. 50% of the time it guesses Mrs Fields Cookies. So frustrating.

★☆☆☆☆ Alan Colver · Apr 7, 2025

I still get loads of junk mail from senders that I've unsubscribed from with this app (months later)

★☆☆☆☆ Michael Minier · Aug 1, 2022

Literally dost work anymore. It was an amazing app for junk mail, and I've stopped receiving a boat load of it, however once update 3.5.3 was uploaded; the app crashes or dost process your pictures of the junk mail. I've reached out to customer support, they told me to just update to version 3.5.4 but it's not released. Talking with customer support is awful. I spent cash on the lifetime membership too ****UPDATE**** After installing 3.5.4, the application still does not work.
