SimpleLogin | Privacy-First Email Alias and Identity Provider service
SimpleLogin | Privacy-First Email Forwarding/Alias and Identity Provider service

> Yet another email forwarding service?
In some way yes... However, SimpleLogin is a bit different because:
- it's fully open-source: both the server and client code (browser extension, JS library) are open-source so anyone can freely inspect and (hopefully) improve the code.
- not just email alias: SimpleLogin is a privacy-first and developer-friendly identity provider that: a. offers privacy for users b. is simple to use for developers. Our goal is to offer a privacy-focused alternative to the "Login with Facebook/Google/Twitter" buttons.
- the only email alias solution that is `self-hostable`: with our detailed self-hosting instructions and most of components running as Docker container, anyone who knows how to `ssh` is able to deploy SimpleLogin on their server.
- plenty of features: custom domain, browser extension, alias activity, OAuth libraries, etc.
