Overview

Strengths

• Independent open-source operator (renamed from AnonAddy in 2023).
• Generous free tier with unlimited standard aliases.
• PGP-encrypts forwarded mail when configured.

Caveats

• UK jurisdiction.
• Like all alias services, the destination inbox is still the destination; alias-only does not anonymize the recipient.
• Facts need re-verification by operator (last seeded 2026-01).

Verdict

addy.io (formerly AnonAddy) is the independent open-source alternative to SimpleLogin. Same alias-forwarding model. Pick on operator preference — addy.io is the smaller, independent operator; SimpleLogin sits inside Proton.
