Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Shivansh, and I built GhostRelay after a job board leaked my real email to data brokers. Within two weeks, I was drowning in spam and phishing emails.
I looked at the alternatives:
• SimpleLogin — €4/month
• addy.io — $4/month
• Apple Hide My Email — requires iCloud+
• Firefox Relay — bundled with Mozilla VPN
All of them charge monthly for what is fundamentally a database lookup + email forward. And if you stop paying, your aliases die.
So I built my own. On Cloudflare's free tier. The entire thing:
- Email Workers (intercept + forward) — free
- KV Store (alias mappings) — free
- Pages (dashboard) — free
- Total monthly cost: $0
It took me 15 minutes to deploy and I've been using it daily for months. Every service I sign up for gets a unique alias. When one gets compromised, I know exactly who leaked it, and I kill the alias with one click.
It's fully open source (MIT license). No tracking, no analytics on your data, no catch.
I'd love to hear: what would make YOU switch from your current email setup? What features would be most useful? 👇
Simple products often win because they remove recurring friction. Curious—what convinced users to switch from existing aliasing solutions instead of just staying with what they already had?
