SimpleLogin

Product Overview

SimpleLogin is an open-source email alias solution that helps protect your email address by providing a permanent, anonymous alternative. Unlike temporary email services, SimpleLogin doesn't store emails; instead, they are stored in your mailbox. This unique approach allows you to control your online identity and safeguard your inbox against spams and phishing.

Main Features

SimpleLogin offers several key features that set it apart from other email forwarding/alias services:

1. Permanent Aliases: Unlike temporary email services, SimpleLogin's aliases are permanent, allowing you to create a consistent online presence.
2. Catch-All Feature: Create an alias for your domain and use any word (up to 128 characters) as the alias, without having to open SimpleLogin.
3. Alias Directory: Similar to catch-all, create a directory-based alias that can be used with any word.
4. Self-Hosting: Run SimpleLogin on your server using detailed instructions and Docker container components.
5. Unlimited Bandwidth: Send/reply emails from your alias without limits.
6. Ad-Free and Tracker-Free: No ads or trackers are present in the SimpleLogin ecosystem.

How it Works

1. Use an email alias instead of your real email address on websites.
2. Emails sent to the alias are forwarded to your inbox, keeping your real email hidden.
3. Reply to emails from the alias without revealing your real email.
4. Send emails anonymously using your alias.

Business Model

SimpleLogin generates revenue solely through subscriptions, ensuring an ad-free experience for its users.
