Anonacy is an “Alias Manager” - creating masked relays for a few different identifiers, primarily emails and phone numbers.

Similar to a password manager, but instead of using a different password for every site, you also use a different email - one that just forwards to your real one.

This protects your identity and is now commonplace with products like Hide My Email from Apple and SimpleLogin taking over the space.

It was envisioned to be a all in one identity masking service. It ended up being a specialized open source email masking tool. It was mostly used for spam control.


v1


Version 1 is a proof of concept - based on using many apis to provide the underlying service.
This version was not open source, and was more of an api conglomerate.
The v1 app has since been updated to use the v2 api behind the scenes.


v2


Version two is a fully open source email masking client built on top of Postal


HiddenLogin


HiddenLogin is the same exact service, just rebranded to make it more appealing to a different audience.

It allowed me to do something interesting with the site - dynamic themes at build time. I rebuilt the site to support dynamically swapping out all the colors and certain assets.


MailCondom


MailCondom.com is a spinoff site that uses that same underlying framework as anonacy, but enables anonymous email masks without a login.

It was built as a marketing experiment, and to compete with similar services like tempmail.
The key difference is that the aliases it generates are still fully controllable by using a unique dashboard link that is sent in an email to the alias when it is created.
