![addy.io — one real inbox, endless throwaway addresses](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/f/2/f2b176e298ff4fcd1d2232b34eb58c460c359c1a.png)

shop · bank · deals each get their own alias — [addy.io](http://addy.io) forwards, encrypted — and the dashed line ends deals@… below

### 📧 Give every site a different address — end any one in a click

&nbsp;

**Your real address is the tracking key.** [addy.io](http://addy.io) hands every site a different alias — one click, and the spam, the pixels and the link-back die with it.

&nbsp;

**The grab list — start free, grow unlimited:**

- 🟢 **Self-minting aliases** — [yeymail.com/blog/addy-io-review](https://yeymail.com/blog/addy-io-review) · any name@yourusername works, born on first mail
- ✂ **The kill-switch triad** — [addy.io/smtp-errors/550-5-1-1/](https://addy.io/smtp-errors/550-5-1-1/) · deactivate: mail stops · delete: sender told · forget: gone
- ⚙ **The self-host universe** — [github.com/anonaddy — SELF-HOSTING.md](https://github.com/anonaddy/anonaddy/blob/master/SELF-HOSTING.md) · one `MX *` record, every subdomain an alias world
- 🧪 **REST API + extension, free** — [chromewebstore.google.com — extension](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/addyio-protect-your-email/iadbdpnoknmbdeolbapdackdcogdmjpe) · script it, or one-click in any form

🔗 **[addy.io](https://addy.io)** — free forever: unlimited standard aliases · 10 shared-domain aliases · automatic OpenPGP-encrypted forwarding.

&nbsp;

**The ladder — same app, four rungs:**

| Rung | Cost | What it buys |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Free | $0 | unlimited standard aliases · 10 shared · PGP-encrypted forwarding |
| Lite | $1/mo | unlinkable usernames · 50 shared · 50 anonymous replies/day · rules + pixel-block |
| Pro | $3/mo | 20 custom domains · tracking pixels stripped server-side · the perks card |
| Self-host | $0 + a box | the same AGPLv3 app from the official Docker image — port 25 open, MySQL/Redis alongside |
