AnonAddy

AnonAddy, now known as addy.io, is an open-source email forwarding service designed to protect your real email address from spam, phishing, and unwanted solicitations. It works by allowing you to create unique, disposable email aliases for every online interaction. When an email is sent to one of these aliases, addy.io forwards it to your designated real inbox, effectively acting as a shield.

The core value proposition of addy.io lies in its ability to give users granular control over who can email them. If an alias starts receiving spam or is compromised in a data breach, you can simply deactivate or delete that specific alias from your dashboard. This prevents any further emails from reaching your real inbox through that address, without affecting your other aliases or requiring you to change your primary email. The service also supports replying and sending emails anonymously from your aliases, and offers robust features like GPG/OpenPGP encryption, custom domains, and convenient mobile apps and browser extensions for seamless management.
