Hi there ProductHunt This is Son, the developer behind SimpleLogin here. Thanks @benln for the hunt! I used to use my Gmail address everywhere, for signing up for new services, subscribing to newsletters, etc. I didn't realize it had become my Internet identity, my "virtual social security number”. My online activities could be easily linked together by this address and my mailbox was an easy target for any spam/phishing campaign. What if there was a tool to create a different email address for each website? What if there was a way you could just disable an address if it starts receiving spams? And it would make it much harder to follow you across the internet. Actually there was already a way. The secret lays with "email aliases", an old, underused technology, but can help us take back control of our mailboxes. In 2019 I quit my comfortable job to create that tool. It had to be easy to use, yet powerful enough that an email alias can not only receive email but also send it. It had to be open source, because I didn't want to have to trust a closed-source software to forward my emails, and it had to be available to everyone. That's how SimpleLogin was born. First launched in beta in 2020, SimpleLogin now regularly receives positive feedback from the privacy community and "influencers". SimpleLogin is available for Web, mobile (iOS, Android) and as Chrome/Firefox/Safari browser extensions. SimpleLogin is 100% open source and can be self-hosted. Its notable features include sending emails from aliases, two-factor authentication (TOTP, WebAuth/FIDO, TouchID), custom domains, PGP encryption, multiple mailboxes/usernames, and catch-all/wildcard domains. It's never too late for us to take back control of our mailboxes and our privacy. 30,000 people have already done it and never looked back. Can't wait to see you creating your first alias. Cheers, Son.

I've found SimpleLogin last year and subscribed to premium before my trial expired. In my opinion it's the first solution of this kind which is fully thought out through. I especially appreciate support for replies and custom domains. Thanks to the latter feature I was able to migrate my catch-all email domain to SimpleLogin and kill off some compromised aliases used only by spammers. My only wish is if there were integration with password managers (especially Bitwarden), but that's not really a Simplelogin's issue. Oh and did I mention it's fully open-source with nice documentation for self-hosting?

I've been using SimpleLogin for around a year -- it's been so useful for me and it's been a flawless experience so far! I'm using a custom domain with their catch all email address support to just make a new email address on the fly whenever I want - I can just register and login to sites with emails like [sitename]@mydomain.com and they come straight to my normal inbox! Compared to other similar services/techniques, SimpleLogin stands out to me because it lets you send emails from your aliases too, which you can't really do with more simple things like adding a "+xyz" to your normal email address (e.g. with Gmail). It's also self-hostable (though I haven't done that myself, it's nice to know I can if I want/need). Thank you so much for all the work that's gone into this service!

Just came here to say that today I found out about the reverse Alias.... wtf! that's mindblasting!! 🤯

SL is next to a DNS firewall & a password manager the most important service you can (and should!) use for upping your privacy game! I love SL and I'm using it daily. All my mails get encrypted and forwarded to my Protonmail with PGP encryption. I can't imagine an internet without it.

SimpleLogin is one of my favorite go-to products for privacy and security. The premium plan gives instant access to custom domains, which allows you to manage all your custom domains with catch-all rules for example and use them on the fly. The major benefit of using email aliases like SimpleLogin allows, is that in case of a data breach, it's impossible for the hackers to find your other accounts, as you would have a different alias for each account. Breaches take place on a **daily** basis. And once your email account is in the wild, it will stay there forever. There is no way to get it back. And for those who are wondering, you can even send emails from an alias straight from your email provider (like Gmail or ProtonMail), to always maintain your privacy even when exchanging with people via email. I **highly** recommend using SimpleLogin, and I **highly** recommend taking the very generous premium plan. I have been using their service since a few months now, and I really can't recommend it enough.

I know it since a few days ago and started to use it right away. It's open source so I tried to installed it in my home server, but I found the process a bit complex (maybe with some video tutorial with step by step indications), so I end up using it from their website. Super happy with it.

Used this for years now. The creator is responsive and awesome as a whole. Product is 10/10 for what it does. Cheap as all hell as well. Use it for all of my emails. Super reliable and easy to setup with my own domain. Just really really nice.

I have used SimpleLogin for a year or so and it is super helpful. Especially if you have a lot of domains you want to have secure email, but not have a full fledged google apps account or whatever.

Definitely recommend for email lovers. Super useful when it comes to privacy. What makes SL stands out is that emails are allowed to send out. Keep up the good work, Son!

Good job guys! Are you GDPR compliant? ;)

I’ve been using SimpleLogin for almost a year. Super helpful and pairs well with ProtonMail for added privacy and identity protection.

SimpleLogin is easy and elegant in use and allows you to create (and destroy) email aliases on the fly - new site you’re not 100% sure of? Register with an off the cuff alias. Excellent free level and loads of extra features on the reasonably priced paid tier - highly recommended by me

I was looking for such a service a couple of years ago and didn't find one. Then I looked about a month ago and found 4 different services. Tested 3 of them, chose SimpleLogin and immediately upgraded... A couple of days ago I managed to purchase and configure my domain (.eu domain deal: about 12 Eur for 10 years). As someone already mentioned, creation of aliases on own domains is somehow limited. It would be good to extend the functionality for own domains: - Allow '.' in aliases. - Implement support for directories on domain. - Adjust the length of the generated words or even provide a list of own words. That might be useful also for other languages than English. - Btw. do you also have mobile apps on GitHub? Do you accept pull requests from community? However, I cannot recommend Producthunt - it forced me to use social SSO login instead of SimpleLogin.

SimpleLogin was the best thing that's ever happened to me (and I assume it the same applies to others who have tried it out. :) ). I use it mainly to protect my main e-mail from companies that potentially don't respect GDPR laws or can't be bothered to. The free plan is perfect enough to persuade me to upgrade to the premium plan in the near future. They also have an exclusive discount for students, though I don't recall by how much at the moment. The only thing I'd wish was added to this superb online service is customization of the length of the random words from the Custom Alias section and/or the type of words (not sure if it's already implemented for premium users). Just today, one of the list of domains had generated names like ".unsuspiciousness@slmail.me" and some religious term(s) paired with the domain name. It'd be a bit awkward to explain to people why the e-mail address looks like that.

Simplelogin is the best email alias out there, because is based in Europe, support PGP and the unlimited bandwidth, you cannot ask for more!!!

Glad to see SimpleLogin featured on Product Hunt. I've been using it for over a year, before it got this big and it was a beta. I was fortunate enough to get a lifetime premium for free as a student. Definitely worth it.

Hi, I don't seem to find a way to use the $10 off coupon by using crypto. Is it possible? Love the service!

A year ago I decided to use SimpleLogin as a means of containerizing much of my online presence, all part of a move to improve my privacy among other things. The simplicity of managing my various aliases is amazing, and it's great knowing that if/when an email alias is compromised or gets spammed, etc, I can just kill it with a flip of a switch and not have to battle with emails I don't want. Very satisfied with how that's working out for me right now.
