A real product,
made by a real person.
Pim is built by Eric Erickson. One founder. No board. No investors. Just a tool he wished existed, made small enough that one person can keep it honest.
From the studio to the side panel.
Eric has spent twenty-five years in studios as a musician, engineer, and producer. He learned the craft from Michael Prince and Jean Marie Horvat. He co-owns Area 91 Studio.
Like everyone else, he also lives in an inbox. Tens of thousands of unread emails. Thousands of attachments tangled across years of session files, receipts, stems, and one-line replies. After years of trying every cleaner on the market, none of them did the thing he actually wanted: just throw out the noise without reading his life.
The other cleaners read everything you have. They sell the data. They are, technically, the product. Eric was not willing to do that. Privacy in software should not be a marketing line. It should be the architecture.
When Chrome shipped Gemini Nano (a real language model that runs entirely on your machine), the architecture finally became possible. Pim was born the week Eric got it working: a cleaner that classifies, files, and trashes without a single byte of email leaving your laptop.
Today Pim aggressively trashes ads, spam, social pings, shopping promos, and news. She files banking, bills, receipts, personal, work, health, travel, and legal mail into clear folders. She learns from one tap when she gets it wrong. And the toolbox of audio, video, document, and PDF tools comes along too, because if the privacy boundary is the browser, you may as well do everything there.
One founder. No board. No investors. A real human you can email at hello@trypim.com. He answers.
