Who's tired of junk mail? Everyone right!?! Cut the clutter with this new app that fights those pesky solicitors that attack via your mail box. The concept is pretty awesome and the steps are really simple! Once you've created an account, you snap a picture of the sender's mailing label (usually accompanied by a corporate logo) through the PaperKarma app, send it off to them and you're done! PaperKarma does all the hard work (contacting the company and getting your name off their distribution list). The app works best for junk mail addressed directly to you (i.e. has your name on it).

I get personalized credit card applications in the mail all. the. time. So I tried this out with some American Express junk mail and while the verdict is still out on whether or not I've been removed from their list (since I just did this yesterday and it takes a few weeks for mailers to process the request) I'm very hopeful! Side note: this app is super new (about a week old) so bare with them if you encounter any delays. The app is available for iphone, android and windows phones.
