AltMail — Anonymous Temporary Email With the AltMail app, you can instantly create a private email address to receive messages and attachments. Stop giving your real email to every website you visit. Sharing your personal info leads to endless spam, tracking, and data leaks. Keep your life private and your real inbox clean. AltMail provides a remote, anonymous, and disposable inbox. It is a powerful tool designed to replace your personal info with a secure shield. Whether you need a burner email for a quick signup or a private way to get a verification code, AltMail keeps you unlinked from the web. Why use AltMail? Hide from Spam: Keep your real inbox free from junk and ads. No Sign-up: Start using it immediately with no personal data required. Stay Private: Protect your identity by staying anonymous online. Receive Attachments: Get photos or files sent directly to your temporary box. Auto-Delete: Messages are securely wiped to ensure no digital footprint. With the AltMail app, you can: - Generate a new, private email address in one tap. - Copy your address instantly or use a QR code. - Get push notifications the moment a message arrives. - Read incoming mail and download attachments. - Quickly delete your inbox and start fresh whenever you want. AltMail Premium Features: - Custom Names: Create your own specific email addresses. - Multiple Boxes: Manage several inboxes at the same time. - Premium Domains: Access exclusive, high-quality email endings. - Extra Storage: Keep your messages for a longer period. - Ad-Free: A clean, professional experience with no interruptions. Please Note: AltMail is for receiving messages only; you cannot send emails. Because we handle millions of messages, emails are stored for a short time (1–2 hours) before being permanently deleted. Do not use AltMail for important accounts or sensitive data, as we cannot recover deleted emails or expired addresses. The Privacy Vault Beyond email, AltMail now includes a built-in Encrypted Vault to protect your entire digital life. Everything in the Vault is stored locally on your device and is hidden from your phone's default apps. - AltBrowser: A private, password-locked incognito browser. Browse the web without leaving a trace, history, or cookies on your device. - AltAlbum: A secure, hidden photo gallery. Save attachments or upload photos to a private folder that is invisible to your phone’s standard photo library. - AltNotes: A biometric-locked notepad. Safely store recovery keys, passwords, or sensitive text that stays strictly on your phone. Support: Have a suggestion?

DataSentryX blocks trackers and ads across your entire iPhone — inside apps, in games, and in every browser — using 100% on-device DNS filtering. Most apps and websites quietly report what you do to dozens of tracking companies you have never heard of. DataSentryX stops those connections at the network level, before they ever leave your phone. WHY IT WORKS EVERYWHERE, NOT JUST IN SAFARI Safari content blockers only clean up Safari. DataSentryX filters one layer lower, at the DNS request itself — so trackers are stopped inside your apps, your games, your email and every browser you use. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • All filtering happens on your device — we never see your browsing • No browsing history collected, ever • No ads and no third-party analytics in this app HOW IT WORKS DataSentryX uses Apple's Network Extension technology to check each DNS request right on your device against a list of known and suspicious ad and tracking domains, updated automatically over the air. Nothing is routed through an outside server. FREE • Privacy Health Score — see how exposed your device really is • Privacy Risk Report — the companies trying to follow you, named • Permission Manager — step-by-step guides to revoke risky app permissions • Live tracker detection with real-time counts • 1 device PRO — 7-DAY FREE TRIAL • Live Protection — block ads and trackers system-wide, 24/7 • Balanced and Strict filtering modes — choose how aggressive to be • Allowed Sites — let one site through in a tap if it misbehaves • Tracker Detail Report — see exactly what was blocked, and who sent it • 2 devices MORE PLANS • Family — 5 devices, plus the Weekly Privacy Report • Business — 15 devices, Weekly Privacy Report and priority support • Lifetime — pay once, yours for good (2 devices). Open the app once a year so we can confirm your licence. ONE ACCOUNT, ALL YOUR DEVICES Create a free account and your plan travels with you. DataSentryX also runs as a browser extension for Chrome, Edge and Firefox — each place you sign in uses one of your plan's device slots. Setup guide at datasentryx.com/download SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS The 7-day free trial converts to a paid subscription unless it is canceled at least 24 hours before it ends.
