What it does

Most accounts do not need to know who you are. The forum, the newsletter, the free trial - each one asks for an email address, and handing over your real one ties your name to it forever. Sometimes it is worse: sign up for a VPN as [email protected] and the service that promises to hide you knows exactly who you are.

AccountProxy replaces that first step. Create an anonymous AccountID, then spin up identities under it, each with its own email address. Sign up, receive mail, reply, start new threads - like a normal mail client, except nothing links one identity to another, or to you.

It is not temporary email. Disposable inboxes take a message or two and evaporate; this is a persistent, encrypted workspace that keeps its history.

How it was built

The hard part of an anonymous service is not the email. It is an account you cannot recover, and a subscription you cannot pay for without a credit card that names you.

The AccountID is the sole credential, mapped through a one-way transform, with optional MFA and passkeys. There is no recovery flow, because a recovery flow is a way for the server to hand your account to someone.

Payment was the harder problem. Time is sold as one-time serials through third-party vendors: the vendor handles the money and never sees which AccountID redeems the serial, and AccountProxy sees the serial and never the buyer. Nobody holds both halves.

Building it also needed a fast way to check that alias addresses actually received mail, so I built SendTestMail.

Status

Live since the second half of 2025, and taking payments. Accounts are free; subscriptions are anonymous serials redeemed in the dashboard.
