Hush Mailbox
A consumer-friendly email alias manager that lets you generate a unique masked address for every online signup — works with Gmail, Outlook, Fastmail, ProtonMail, SimpleLogin and iCloud Hide My Email under one dashboard — and auto-quarantines spam, expired-shop promos and password-reset noise before they reach your real inbox.
privacy-conscious consumers who sign up for lots of online services and want to keep their real address off marketers' lists
- One-click alias creation in any email client — browser extension and mobile keyboard that generates a masked address on any signup form
- Smart inbox routing — important mail (banking, receipts, account security) is forwarded instantly, newsletters and promos go to a digest folder that you can bulk-delete
- Alias health score — flags aliases that have been leaked in known breaches or are suddenly receiving high spam volumes, suggesting retirement
- Cross-provider support — connect iCloud, Gmail, Outlook, Proton, Fastmail and SimpleLogin through one account, no matter which address you actually live in
Apple's iCloud Hide My Email, Proton, Firefox Relay, DuckDuckGo Email Protection and SimpleLogin have fragmented the masked-email space; non-technical users don't want to manage five different services, which is exactly the gap the trending xiaozhou26/icloud-hme tool exposed for power users.
Email aliases are a validated consumer category — SimpleLogin was acquired by Proton, runs paid plans at ~$2.99/mo, and Mozilla/DuckDuckGo/Apple ship free tiers, while xiaozhou26/icloud-hme trending (★105) confirms non-trivial developer demand for a unified control plane.icloud-hme · GitHub ↗Pricing - SimpleLogin ↗
Highly crowded: SimpleLogin (now bundled with Proton Pass), addy.io, Firefox Relay, DuckDuckGo Email Protection, iCloud Hide My Email, Cloudflare, and Google all ship first-party or well-funded solutions — a neutral aggregator has little defensible room.Email Aliases July 2026: SimpleLogin vs addy.io vs Firefox Relay ↗Best Email Alias Services Compared (2026) - cleanbox.app ↗
Proven willingness to pay exists but is price-compressed — SimpleLogin premium is $2.99/mo ($35.88/yr) and Proton now bundles it free with Proton Pass for paid accounts, plus lifetime deals are being used as a sales lever, suggesting a thin standalone margin.Proton Pass premium features are now included in SimpleLogin premium plan ↗Proton Pricing Plans - Free & Paid Plans | Proton ↗
Privacy-regulation tailwinds (GDPR/CAN-SPAM enforcement), rising phishing/breach awareness, and durable inbox-pollution problems keep the category relevant long-term, even as specific vendors churn.Apple Hide My Email Bug Exposes Real Email Addresses ↗
Integrating iCloud requires the reverse-engineered Web API already documented by xiaozhou26, while Gmail/Outlook/FastMail/Proton need OAuth + IMAP plumbing, and Apple/Google likely to throttle or block — the xiaozhou26 project itself only covers iCloud HME, illustrating real per-provider toil.icloud-hme/README.md at main ↗icloud-hme · PyPI ↗
