About

This is a free temporary email service. It gives you a working inbox in a couple of seconds, with no account, and deletes everything a day later.

Why it exists

An email address is now the default identifier for a person online, and it gets demanded for things that plainly do not need it — a PDF download, a coupon, a wifi portal, a forum post. Once given, it is kept indefinitely and often passed on. A disposable address absorbs those requests so your real one stays out of circulation.

What it does not do

It does not send mail, by design. It is not anonymity, and it is not secure storage. A randomly generated address is private to the browser that created it, but it is still an inbox that erases itself on a timer, with no account and no recovery. We would rather say that plainly than have someone route a bank password reset through it. The safety guide is the longer version of this warning.

How it is paid for

Advertising. There is no paid tier, no data sold, and no email content used for targeting. Ads are contextual to the page, not to your mail. The privacy policy covers what our ad partner can see.

How it is built

It runs on edge infrastructure, which is what allows a free service to stay fast without a large budget behind it. Mail is received, parsed and stored at the edge; the site is rendered there too. Storage is deliberately small and short-lived, because retaining data we do not need is both a cost and a liability.
