I made Better Spam Filter because my inboxes were flooded with spam

Hi, I’m Rene 👋🏻 , a software developer from Austria. I created BetterSpamFilter to simplify my own life, and now I want to share it with the world. I believe this app can take the hassle out of email management for countless others too.

Community feedback

In the past, we experienced several successful phishing attacks, and I must admit that many spam emails these days look deceptively real. I implemented NoSpam in my department since we frequently receive phishing emails. What I find truly brilliant is that NoSpam also validates links within emails.

– Head of IT

I host my email inboxes privately, but my provider’s spam filters are barely usable. NoSpam works perfectly for me!

With Rene and the Ultimate Plan, we successfully rolled out a company-wide implementation. Rene provided valuable consultation during the process and shared the source code with us. Thank you for the seamless collaboration!
