I Built a Free Disposable Email Generator — GhostMail

The Problem

Every time you sign up for a newsletter, free trial, or random site — your real email gets added to a spam list. I got tired of it. So I built GhostMail.

What is GhostMail?

GhostMail is a free disposable temporary email generator. You get a real working inbox instantly — no signup, no captcha, nothing.

Features

  • Instant email generation — ready before you finish reading
  • 📧 Real inbox — powered by live mail API, not fake placeholder data
  • 👻 100% Anonymous — zero registration, zero data stored
  • 📱 Custom email names — choose your own username instead of random strings
  • 📥 Multi-inbox — manage up to 5 disposable addresses simultaneously
  • 🔄 Auto-refresh — inbox checks every 30 seconds automatically
  • 🔔 Desktop notifications — get alerted the moment an email arrives
  • 🔑 OTP extractor — one-click copy of verification codes
  • ⏱️ Adjustable expiry — extend time or go unlimited

How It Works

  1. Open the tool — a real email address is generated instantly
  2. Copy it and use it anywhere
  3. Emails arrive in real-time in your inbox
  4. When done, it auto-destructs — no trace left behind

Tech Stack

  • Vanilla JS (no frameworks)
  • Guerrilla Mail API for real email delivery
  • CSS custom properties for theming
  • Web Notifications API for push alerts
  • Web Audio API for sound notifications

Why I Built This

Most temp mail tools are either full of ads, use fake demo data, or only support one address at a time. GhostMail solves all three — real emails, zero ads, and multi-inbox support.
