lowkeymail
about

An email service, kept low-key.

lowkeymail is a small team building one thing: encrypted email with an alias for every signup. We charge for the service so we don't need to charge you with anything else.

Manifesto

We started lowkeymail because giving every site your real address has become a tax we all pay. Spam is the obvious cost; a database row in someone else's breach archive is the quieter one. Aliases solve this neatly — but the existing alias tools either lock you into one ecosystem or pretend encryption is optional. We wanted both, and we wanted both in one place.

We took four working principles:

  • Encrypted. OpenPGP, in the browser. Mail bodies are unreadable to anyone, including us.
  • Aliased. One inbox, an address per service. Your real email never enters a database.
  • Spam-proof. When an alias goes bad, switch it off. The rest of your inbox keeps working.
  • Standards. OpenPGP, IMAP, SMTP, POP. You can take your mail with you. No vendor lock.

We don't sell capes. We don't talk about which government can't reach us. We just don't put your real address on every envelope.
