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?
@janv Thanks Jan! Being able to reply/send emails from an alias is the most difficult technical challenge in SimpleLogin and glad that it works out well! Stay tuned for the password manager integration, we'll continue asking password managers to integrate SimpleLogin :) and if no one answers, why not create our own 😅.

awesome service! I've been using it for months and can only recommend
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.
@ayoprez Thanks! The self-hosted version is indeed a bit complex currently as it requires DNS, Postfix and Docker setup. We are working on creating a more simple self-hosted version that should simplify the self-hosting process :).

I have been a premium user for a few weeks and I believe that now I have a service to control my privacy. Hopefully in the future we can easily login to our favorite websites with Simplelogin, a comfortable and private login without hidden interests.
@nkt9 Thanks Alex! We are working on making the "Sign in with SimpleLogin" more popular, hope in the future we can see websites adding this button :).

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.
I've tried a few services that do something like this, but this edged out as the best. It's an idea that expands on the necessity of "throwaway" email for web safety and comfort, and does it very well. Having a unique and permanent email address that can be turned off at any point means customized login information, tracing for the source of spam or phishing, and just good old email organization. Clean but intuitive interface and a great Chrome extension make this idea applicable to the mainstream. I see myself using this for the rest of my Internet life, and have been recommending it to even my tech-averse friends. I see it having good mainstream appeal, especially with such an approachable free tier but valuable paid tier.
@kautiontape Thanks Shawn for the on point review! We've put a lot of effort into the UX (the UI still needs some love 😅) and glad that you like it too!
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.
