Everything you need to know about using Pinbox — the privacy-first temporary email platform.
Pinbox is a privacy-first temporary email service. It lets you generate instant disposable email addresses to receive messages, extract OTPs, and resolve magic links — all without giving away your real email address.
Pinbox is ideal for signing up to new services, verifying accounts, receiving one-time codes, and anything else you'd rather not associate with your personal inbox.
On the Pinbox app screen, tap the primary button to instantly generate a disposable email address at the vrushabhudepurkar.tech domain.
Once generated, your email address is displayed prominently. Click "Copy" to copy it to your clipboard instantly.
Paste the address into any signup form. Pinbox will receive emails sent to it in real time.
Once an email is active, your inbox automatically polls for new messages every 3 seconds. When an email arrives, you'll see it appear in the inbox list immediately.
Tap any email in the list to open the full message, including HTML-rendered body content.
Pinbox automatically scans incoming emails for numeric OTP codes (4–8 digits) using pattern recognition. When detected, the code is displayed in a prominent banner at the top of the screen and can be copied with one tap.
Some services send a "magic link" instead of a numeric code — a URL you click to verify your account. Pinbox detects these links, allows you to resolve them server-side, and extracts any verification code from the destination page.
This works for services like Claude AI, Notion, and others that use link-based authentication.
Sign up with a username and password. You can also use Google Sign-In for faster access. Your account is used to track your usage stats and manage your plan.
