Hi Product Hunt 👋 I'm Ryan, one of the makers of OptMsg.
We built OptMsg because email has the problem backwards: by default, anyone in the world can land in your inbox, and you spend your life filtering, deleting, and second-guessing what's safe to click. OptMsg flips it — only people you approve can reach you. Everything else goes to Trash. There's no password to steal, no ads, and we don't sell your data.
It's built for personal and family use, runs on web, iOS, and Android, and there's a free plan to try it. We'd love your feedback on the opt-in approach — does flipping email to approval-only resonate, or feel like too much control?

Finally tried OptMsg for a few days and my inbox felt noticeably quieter. Wish the onboarding walked me through approving my first contacts a bit more clearly, but the core idea actually works in practice.

@muammer7fwp Great feedback - thank you! We are working on some video how-to's next to make this even easier for our users.

One thing that would make this even better is a simple way to grant temporary access to senders, like a link or code that expires after a set time. That way you could share it with someone who needs to reach you for a specific reason without giving them permanent permission.

Finally an inbox that feels calm. Set up took two minutes and the first unknown sender got bounced automatically. Wish more email worked this way.

love how the opt-in default flips the usual inbox power dynamic on its head, and the no-tracking promise actually feels enforceable here rather than just marketing fluff.
Report
Finally someone actually tackling inbox overload at the source. Tried it for a day and watching random sign-ups get blocked without me lifting a finger felt weirdly satisfying.

Love the simple approval flow - letting me whitelist senders before anything lands feels like a proper relief valve instead of another clever workaround. Nice work on keeping the whole experience that clean.
