Readwise Reader Prune
Two-pass stale document removal with safe defaults.
<EXTREMELY-IMPORTANT>IRON LAW: Dry Run First
NEVER pass --delete without showing the user the dry-run output first.
- Run without
--delete(dry run) - Show the user the candidate list and category breakdown
- Get explicit confirmation
- THEN run with
--delete
How It Works
Pass 1: Fetch all documents updated in the last N months (the "safe set" -- these have recent activity and are never pruned).
Pass 2: Fetch all documents matching filters. Remove from candidates any document that:
- Is in the safe set (recently active)
- Has highlights (num_highlights > 0)
- Has an excluded tag
Commands
# Dry run (always do this first)
readwise-custom prune
readwise-custom prune --months 6
readwise-custom prune --category rss --location new
readwise-custom prune --exclude-tag "keep" --exclude-tag "reference"
# Limit candidates shown
readwise-custom prune --months 3 --limit 20
# JSON output (for review)
readwise-custom prune --months 6 --json
# Actually delete (after reviewing dry run)
readwise-custom prune --months 3 --delete
readwise-custom prune --category rss --months 1 --delete
Flags
| Flag | Default | Description |
|------|---------|-------------|
| --months <n> | 3 | Documents inactive for this many months are candidates |
| --location <loc> | all | Filter: new, later, shortlist, archive, feed |
| --category <cat> | all | Filter: article, email, rss, pdf, epub, tweet, video |
| --exclude-tag <tag> | none | Skip documents with this tag (repeatable) |
| --limit <n> | all | Cap number of candidates |
| --delete | false | Actually delete (default is dry run) |
| --json | false | Output as JSON |
Recommended Workflows
Weekly RSS cleanup
readwise-custom prune --category rss --months 1 --location new
# Review, then:
readwise-custom prune --category rss --months 1 --location new --delete
Quarterly deep clean
readwise-custom prune --months 6 --exclude-tag "reference"
# Review, then:
readwise-custom prune --months 6 --exclude-tag "reference" --delete
