About

A disposable inbox, without the tax.

Zenix TempMail gives you a throwaway address in one click, so a signup form never costs you a permanent inbox.

What it is

Most sites want an email address before they will show you anything. Zenix hands you one you can abandon: generate an address, read what arrives, walk away. Nothing is tied to who you are.

It is free, has no ads, and takes no card. There is no paid tier waiting behind a feature you need.

How it actually works

Zenix is an aggregator. Rather than running one mail server and one domain list, it sits in front of several disposable-mail providers and presents them as a single inbox with a single API.

Many providers, one interface
Each domain is backed by a specific upstream service. Zenix picks the right one, normalises the response, and hides the difference from you.
Providers are verified before they ship
A service is only switched on once a real message has been sent to one of its domains and read back through the API. Services that stop working are switched off rather than left to fail quietly.
Codes are pulled out for you
Verification codes are extracted from the message body and shown on their own, so you are not hunting through a marketing template for six digits.
The same thing everywhere
The website, the browser extension and the developer API read from one backend, so an address or a saved favourite shows up in all three.

What it is not

It is not a mailbox. Addresses are temporary by design and messages are not archived for you — if something matters, save it somewhere that is meant to keep it.

It is also not anonymous from the sender's point of view. The upstream providers receive the mail, and Zenix cannot make guarantees on their behalf. Do not use a disposable address for anything you would mind a third party seeing.

Who runs it

Zenix is an independent project, not a company. The source is on GitHub, and issues and pull requests are welcome there.
