What is a temporary email address?
A temporary email address (also called a disposable email address) is a real inbox that works exactly like a normal email address — it receives messages, shows HTML content, and updates in real time. The only difference is it doesn't belong to any account and it deletes itself after an hour.
You don't sign up for one. You just open this page and it's ready. Every visit creates a fresh address, or you can return to the same inbox within the hour by keeping the URL — it's stored in your browser automatically.
It's useful whenever a website or app asks for your email and you'd rather not give them your real one. Email spam and unsolicited marketing are a direct result of sharing your address too freely — a disposable address keeps that contained.
How to receive an email here
- Copy your addressClick the green copy button at the top. Your address is copied to clipboard and ready to paste.
- Paste it into a formUse it anywhere that asks for an email — sign-up forms, checkout pages, download gates, anything.
- Come back hereNew emails appear in the list on the left automatically. No refreshing needed. Click any email to read it.
- Bookmark the URL if you need to returnThe address in your URL bar stays the same across refreshes. Bookmark it to come back within the hour.
A few things worth knowing
- The inbox expires after 1 hour. After that, the address and everything in it is permanently deleted.
- Emails arrive instantly — there's a live connection open in the background. You don't need to hit refresh.
- If a service says your email is invalid or blocked, it probably detects disposable addresses. That's their decision and not something we can override.
- This inbox receives email only. You can't send from here.
- The address has no password — anyone with the exact URL can see it. The addresses are random enough that nobody's guessing them, but don't use this for anything sensitive like bank confirmations or private messages.
- Email attachments are not stored — only the email text and HTML content is kept during the active session.
Common legitimate uses
- Testing your own app
- Developers and QA teams use it to verify that sign-up emails, password resets, and notifications are actually reaching the inbox. SMTP delivery doesn't always behave as expected — testing with a live inbox catches real issues that unit tests miss.
- Testing a service as a new user
- If you work at a telecom, SaaS, or e-commerce company, you can sign up with a temp address to see exactly what your new users experience — welcome emails, onboarding flows, confirmations.
- Protecting your inbox while researching
- When you're researching a product category and visiting multiple vendor sites, using a temp address keeps your real inbox from being flooded. GDPR gives you rights over your data, but the easiest way to not deal with that process is to not share your real address in the first place.
- Short-term project communication
- When you need a quick inbox for a specific task — a one-time registration for a tool you're evaluating, or a workshop sign-up — without creating a permanent account.
- Privacy when signing up publicly
- On a shared or public computer where you don't want to enter your real email address into a form.
FAQ
- Is this free to use?
- Yes, completely free. There are no paid plans, no usage limits, and no account required. You open the page and your inbox is ready — that's it. We don't ask for a name, a phone number, or a credit card at any point.
- How long does my inbox stay active?
- Your inbox stays active for one hour from the moment it was created. The countdown timer at the top of the page shows exactly how much time is left. Once the hour is up, the email address and every message in it is permanently deleted. If you need to come back before the hour is up, bookmark the page URL.
- Can I choose my own email address?
- Not right now. Every address is randomly generated when you open the page. We chose this approach so there's no sign-up involved and no way for someone to guess or claim your address. Custom addresses are something we're working on for a future version.
- Why didn't I receive an email I was expecting?
- A few things could cause this. First, some services check whether an address belongs to a known disposable email domain and reject it at delivery. Second, some emails take a couple of minutes depending on the sender's mail server. Third, check you copied the exact address — even one wrong character means the email went somewhere else.
- Can I use this on my phone?
- Yes. The site is fully responsive and works in any mobile browser. Open it, copy the address, paste it wherever you need. New emails arrive in real time on mobile just like desktop.
- Is my inbox private?
- There's no password — anyone with the exact URL can open it. The addresses are randomly generated and long enough that nobody's stumbling onto yours. That said, don't use this for anything genuinely sensitive. Encrypted email tools like ProtonMail are better for that.
- What happens to my emails when the hour is up?
- Everything is permanently deleted. The address is marked expired, all messages are removed from our database, and none of it is recoverable. We don't archive, read, or sell any data. If something in the inbox matters, save it before the timer runs out.
- Can I have more than one inbox at the same time?
- Yes. Each browser tab gets its own independent inbox. Open a new tab, visit the site, and you'll get a completely separate address.
- Does this work for email verification links?
- Yes, in most cases. When a service sends a verification email with a confirmation link, it arrives here and you can click it to complete sign-up. Just make sure you do it before the hour is up.
