Open Source. By Conviction.

HiAnon is fully open source.
The platform's entire source code is publicly available and can be viewed, audited, or extended by anyone.

This means for you:

  • Maximum transparency: No hidden functions, no tracking, no data harvesting.
  • Full control: You can self-host HiAnon, customize it, or integrate it into your existing systems.
  • Security through traceability: Vulnerabilities can be publicly identified and fixed.
  • Trust instead of promises: No black box, everything is openly documented and traceable.

Open source isn't a buzzword for us, it's a genuine commitment to privacy, sustainability, and digital self-determination.

Supporting the original project

HiAnon is built on the open-source project AnonAddy,
a great tool for email anonymization that has significantly shaped this idea.
To support the ongoing development of AnonAddy, we donate 99 cents per active subscription per month directly to the original developer.
The amount is collected annually and forwarded transparently.

That way, not only does your digital life stay secure, you also actively support free software and fair compensation for developers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is HiAnon?

HiAnon is an email anonymization service that lets you create temporary or permanent, anonymous email addresses.
These protect your real email address from spam, tracking, and data misuse when using online services, registering, or communicating.

How does HiAnon work?

You generate an anonymous email address in just a few clicks through the HiAnon web interface.
All mail sent to that address is forwarded directly to your real inbox, without the sender ever knowing your real address.
You can deactivate, delete, or reconfigure any address at any time.

Do I need to create an account?

No.
Your account is set up automatically for you after your order.
You'll then receive your initial login details by email and can sign in right away.
All login details and account information are processed in compliance with data protection regulations.
There is no tracking or sharing of your data with third parties.

How much does HiAnon cost?

See the pricing table above.

Is HiAnon open source?

Yes.
The complete source code is publicly available. You can review it, self-host it, or extend it.
Transparency, traceability, and security are our top priorities.
You can find links to the source code here and to the original project here.

What's the difference between HiAnon and AnonAddy?

HiAnon is technically built entirely on the open-source project AnonAddy.
The service itself hasn't been functionally changed, instead it gives you a hosted, ready-to-use instance with a German-language interface, integration into the Host-Honest ecosystem, and direct support.
We place great importance on transparency: no additional features have been developed at this time.
Instead, we focus on stable operation, data protection, ease of use, and fairly supporting the original project financially through regular donations from subscription revenue.

Are my emails stored?

No.
HiAnon does not permanently store any emails.
Incoming messages are only processed briefly and immediately forwarded to your real email inbox.
Local viewing, archiving, or IMAP access is not possible. HiAnon is deliberately not designed as a full email server, but purely as a forwarding service to protect your real address.

Is HiAnon GDPR compliant?

Yes.
HiAnon is operated under the highest data protection standards.
All data is processed exclusively on servers in Germany.
You can request information about your stored data or delete your account entirely at any time.

Can I self-host HiAnon?

Yes.
As open-source software, you can install and run HiAnon yourself.
The necessary guides and source code are publicly available.
You can still benefit from our hosting offer if you'd rather not handle operation, maintenance, and security yourself.

What are typical use cases?

HiAnon is especially well suited for:

  • One-time registrations with online services
  • Separating business and personal communication
  • Protection against data leaks on unfamiliar platforms
  • Signing up for trial accounts or beta programs
  • Avoiding spam from newsletter subscriptions
  • Anonymous contact or feedback forms
