Open-source Anonymous Email Forwarding, create unlimited email aliases for free This extension makes it quick and easy to view, search, manage and create new aliases. Please Note: The free plan is currently limited to a total of 10 active shared domain aliases (e.g. *@anonaddy.me) and 10MB monthly bandwidth. You can still create unlimited standard aliases for free by giving out anything@username.anonaddy.com as your email address, the browser extension is not required to create these type of aliases. To use this extension you first need to register (https://app.addy.io/register) an account with addy.io (it's free), then you can generate an API key on the settings page. If you are self-hosting addy.io then make sure to click "change instance" and enter the location of your web app. Paste your API key in the extension to save it. Now you can simply open the extension and create a new alias for any site. Why should I use addy.io? There are a number of reasons you should consider using this service: - Protect your real email address from spam by simply deactivating/deleting aliases that receive unsolicited emails - Identify who has sold your data by using a different email address for every site - Protect your identity in the event of a data breach by making it difficult for hackers to cross-reference your accounts - Prevent inbox snooping by encrypting all inbound emails using GPG/OpenPGP encryption - Update where emails are forwarded without having to go through and change your email address for each site individually - Reply to forwarded emails anonymously without revealing your true email address This addon is open-source - https://github.com/anonaddy/browser-extension Bugs and Issues: Please report any issues at https://github.com/anonaddy/browser-extension/issues
Pacts

- Define personal rules (Protocols)
- Set and track goals
- Create time-bound daily commitments (Pacts)
- Automatic schedule adjustments
- Streak risk warnings
- Flexible check-in options

Pacts is built on a simple idea: lasting change starts with identity, not just behavior. Before you track a single day, you define your Protocols — the personal rules that are non-negotiable for you. Then you set Goals — where you actually want to go. Then you make Pacts — specific daily commitments that build momentum through repetition. Protocols are the personal rules that shape everything else. Things like "I don't skip two days in a row" or "No phone after 9 PM." You write them in plain language; Pacts understands them automatically and applies them as real constraints — adjusting your schedule, surfacing reminders at the right moment, and warning you before a streak is at risk. Goals give your daily work direction. Link multiple pacts to a single goal to see how your commitments connect to your bigger picture. Active and inactive goals keep your focus clear without deleting the progress you've made. A Pact is a time-bound commitment. Pick how often you'll show up, how long the commitment runs, and when you'll check in. Check-ins are flexible — match your activity frequency, do a weekly reflection, or schedule a final review when your pact ends.
