About

addy.io is an open-source, freemium email forwarding service based in the United Kingdom, renowned for its privacy-focused approach to online communication. It allows users to create unlimited anonymous email aliases for free, offering a robust solution for disposable and unique email addresses. The platform's comprehensive product portfolio includes core features like email forwarding, PGP encryption, custom domain support, spam filtering, and inbox management, all designed with a strict 'no tracking' policy. As a lightweight, FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) solution, addy.io is available across a wide array of platforms including online, Android, iPhone, iPad, self-hosted environments, and popular browser extensions for Firefox, Chrome, Edge, and Safari. While offering a generous free version, it also provides a Lite plan for $12 annually, demonstrating its freemium financial model. Positioned as a leading alternative to burner mails, addy.io is praised by users for its reliability, ease of use, and strong emphasis on security and privacy, often being compared to competitors like SimpleLogin and Bulc Club. Its open-source nature is further highlighted by its active GitHub presence (github.com/anonaddy/anonaddy). Despite overwhelmingly positive feedback, including commendations for its sleek interface and self-hosting capabilities, some users have raised concerns regarding potential spam harvesting, though its community-driven spam filtering aims to address such issues.
