✨ How It Works

Three steps to inbox freedom

No complicated setup. No verification hoops. Just fast, private email aliases.

Sign Up Free

Create your account in 10 seconds. Pick a username like you - it becomes your alias namespace.

Make Up Aliases

Need an email for Netflix? Use [email protected]. For Uber? [email protected]. They auto-create on first use.

Kill the Spam

Getting junk on an alias? Deactivate it with one click. Your real email stays clean. Forever.

🛡️ Features

Everything you need to own your inbox

Built for people who are tired of giving their real email to every signup form on the internet.

On-the-Fly Aliases

Make up any alias on the spot. No need to create it first - just give out [email protected] and it works instantly.

Anonymous Replies

Reply to emails from your alias. The sender only sees the alias address - your real email stays completely hidden.

GPG Encryption

Upload your public key and every forwarded email gets encrypted. Even if someone intercepts it, they can't read it.

Custom Domains

Use your own domain for aliases. Create [email protected] with full control over catch-all and regex rules.

Shared Domain Aliases

Don't want aliases linked to your username? Generate random aliases like [email protected] that can't be traced back to you.

Leak Detective

Gave an alias to only one service but now getting spam from others? PicaMail flags it - that service likely sold your data.

Offer Tracker

See all your aliases grouped by purpose. Track spam volume per alias over time. One-click nuke entire categories.

Browser Extension

One-click alias generation on any signup form. Available for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari.

Full REST API

Programmatic alias management for developers. Create, list, deactivate, and delete aliases from your own tools.

What is PicaMail?

PicaMail is a free email alias service. You create aliases like [email protected] and emails sent there get forwarded to your real inbox. When an alias gets spammy, kill it. Your real email stays private. It's that simple.

Is PicaMail really free?

Yes. The free plan includes unlimited on-the-fly aliases, 10 shared domain aliases, and 1 recipient email address. No credit card required. No trial that expires. Paid plans (starting at $1/month) unlock custom domains, GPG encryption, multiple recipients, and power features like Offer Tracker and Leak Detective.

Can someone trace my alias back to my real email?

No. PicaMail never exposes your real email address. When you reply from an alias, the recipient sees only the alias address. Email headers are scrubbed. With shared domain aliases, there's no link between the alias and your username at all.

Is PicaMail open source?

Yes. PicaMail is built on SimpleLogin, a well-established open-source email alias platform with over 6,500 GitHub stars. You can inspect every line of code, self-host it on your own server, or contribute improvements. We believe transparency is the only real guarantee of privacy.

How do I stop spam from an alias?

One click. Deactivate the alias from your dashboard. Deactivated aliases silently discard incoming mail - no bounce, just silence. You can also fully delete an alias, which actively rejects mail so the sender knows the address is dead. Important: never mark forwarded PicaMail emails as spam in your inbox - this damages our server's reputation. Instead, always deactivate or delete the alias.

Your real email is nobody's business.
