The problem it solves

You want to protect your real email address when signing up for services or testing forms, but creating and tracking masked addresses one by one in Fastmail is slow and easy to lose track of. You need a quick way to generate one whenever it's needed.

Who it fits

A privacy-conscious individual, developer, or team that regularly needs disposable email addresses.

How it works

  1. A request is sent asking for a new masked email address
  2. The system authenticates with your Fastmail account
  3. A new masked email address is created with your chosen description
  4. The new address is returned immediately
What you get

Disposable addresses ready the instant you need one

You get a fresh masked email address instantly whenever you or your app needs one, keeping your real inbox private.

What you get

A new masked email address, created and ready to use in seconds.

What you need

A Fastmail account with API access enabled.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
