AI Analysis

●MidCozyShip It

Local-only alias generator, but Gmail's built-in plus addressing does 90% of this.

Strengths

•Auto-detects your provider and shows compatible aliasing modes instantly.
•Works on any signup form without routing mail through a third-party server.
•Catch-all mode avoids forms that strip the plus character.

Weaknesses

•Plus addressing is native to Gmail; this just automates typing.
•No spam filtering or inbox rules built in — just generates addresses.

Post Description

Built it for myself, thought someone else might want it too.

Simple one-click Chrome extension that aliases your email at every signup, so when spam shows up you know exactly which site leaked it.

Click the icon on any signup page:

netflix.com → [email protected] amazon.com → [email protected]

Plus addressing works on Gmail, Google Workspace, Outlook, ProtonMail, Fastmail and others. Handy at companies running Workspace.

Workspace users with a custom domain can also use catch-all mode:

ted.com → [email protected] wikipedia.org → [email protected]

Different from forwarding services like SimpleLogin, Firefox Relay, or Apple Hide My Email: nothing sits in the mail path. The extension just generates the alias, your existing provider handles delivery. If Apple ever discontinues Hide My Email, every alias you made with it stops working. Clean-Autofill has no service to shut down. No accounts, no servers, no analytics. All local. Open source.
