A real email address โ€” that disappears in 10 minutes. PuffMail generates a real, working inbox on demand. Receive the verification code or signup email you actually need, read it inside the app, then watch the address self-destruct. Your real email stays private. No spam follow-up. No traces. Use it for: - Signing up for a forum, newsletter, or free trial without handing over your real address - Receiving a one-time verification code (OTP) without joining a marketing list - Testing email flows during app development or QA - Reading articles or downloading files locked behind an email wall - Browsing classifieds or marketplaces without exposing your inbox - Anywhere you'd rather not commit your real email to a service you might use once โ€” WHY PUFFMAIL IS DIFFERENT Most temp mail tools are clunky web pages โ€” refresh-spam the tab and hope the code arrives. PuffMail runs natively. The address is real, the inbox is live, and incoming mail shows up in-app the instant it lands. No tab juggling, no broken refresh. Most temp mail tools also have no commitment from you, which means no commitment from them either โ€” slow servers, missed mail, silent drops. PuffMail's subscription tier funds infrastructure that prioritizes delivery, so verification codes actually arrive in seconds. โ€” FEATURES - Real, working email address generated in one tap - 10-minute live inbox view inside the app - Reliable receipt of OTPs, verification codes, and signup confirmations - Address self-destructs at the end of the window โ€” nothing to clean up - Read, search, and copy received messages without leaving the app - Subscription tiers for unlimited disposable emails; credit packs for pay-as-you-go - 1 free email on signup โ€” PRIVACY-FIRST DESIGN PuffMail exists to keep your real inbox out of marketing databases. Every disposable address is independent โ€” we never link it to your real email, never sell received content, and never email you outside what you explicitly subscribe to. After the 10-minute window the inbox and its contents are deleted from our servers. To be clear: PuffMail is a personal privacy tool. It cannot send mail, only receive. It is not for creating fake accounts to abuse other services, and not for circumventing platform security. It is for the everyday case where giving away your real email costs more than the thing you're signing up for is worth. โ€” PRICING & SUBSCRIPTION - 1 free email on signup โ€” try it before paying anything - Credit packs (one-time purchase): 1 credit = 1 disposable email, pay-as-you-go for occasional use - PuffMail Pro Monthly โ€” auto-renewing subscription, unlimited disposable emails - PuffMail Pro Yearly โ€” auto-renewing subscription, unlimited disposable emails (best value) Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. Subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period at the price shown in the App Store. You can manage and cancel your subscriptions by going to your App Store account settings after purchase.

Get a working e-mail address in one second. Use it to sign up, get the verification code, and walk away โ€” the address deletes itself. WHAT IT DOES โ€ข Tap once: an address is ready and copied. โ€ข Mail lands live, without refreshing. โ€ข The verification code is pulled out of the message and shown in large type, one tap to copy. โ€ข A confirmation link is turned into a button. โ€ข Keep several addresses side by side and switch between them. โ€ข Pick your own address if you prefer something readable. โ€ข Extend an inbox by an hour, or delete it right now. BUILT TO STAY OUT OF YOUR WAY No account. No sign-up. No ads. No analytics SDK. Your address history stays on your phone and is never sent anywhere. RECEIVE ONLY A disposable address receives โ€” it never sends and cannot reply. That is by design: the domains carrying these addresses publish SPF -all and DMARC p=reject, so nothing can be sent in your name. PRIVACY, CONCRETELY Remote images inside a message are blocked by default: an image is a read receipt for the sender. Message HTML is rendered in a sealed frame that cannot run scripts. Everything an inbox holds is deleted when it expires. WHAT IT IS NOT This is not a mailbox. A free inbox has no password, and everything in it disappears on expiry. Never use it for your bank, your health records, your identity, or an account you intend to keep. FOR DEVELOPERS The same service has an API that waits for a message inside your end-to-end tests and returns the verification code โ€” npm client, long-poll, dedicated domain. See inboxsink.com. โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€” INBOXSINK PREMIUM (optional) The free tier does not move. Premium adds addresses that never expire, private inboxes only you can read, and messages kept for 30 days. โ€ข EUR 2.49 monthly ยท EUR 11.99 yearly ยท EUR 29.99 once, forever Payment is charged to your Apple account at confirmation. A subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage and cancel it in your Apple account settings. There will never be ads.
