Everything you need to know about using Pinbox, the privacy-first disposable 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 aiplex.app 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, new messages appear in your inbox instantly as they arrive.
Tap any email in the list to open the full message, including the full message with images and formatting.
Pinbox automatically scans incoming emails for verification codes using smart scanning. 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 and opens them safely for you, automatically finding any verification codes inside.
This works for applications,live websites,ai services and others that use link-based authentication.
Every temporary email address you generate comes with a unique QR code. This makes it easy to share your temporary email with other devices or use it across platforms.
The QR code appears automatically when you generate a new email address. Simply click it to view it in full screen for easy scanning.
Pinbox automatically saves every temporary email address you generate into a local history panel. You can access it anytime by opening the History sidebar on the app screen.
Each history entry has a Use button (↺ rotate icon). Clicking it instantly restores that address as your active inbox — the app starts polling for new messages to that address again, exactly as if you had just generated it. This is useful when:
Every address in your history can have a short personal note attached to it — a label you write yourself to remember what you used that address for.
Click the History panel on the app screen to see all your saved addresses.
Each history item has a Note button (sticky-note icon). Clicking it reveals a small inline text input below the address.
Write anything up to 200 characters — e.g. "Used for Claude signup" or "Netflix trial — don't delete". Press Enter or click Save. The note appears directly under the address in the history list.
Getting started with Pinbox requires a verified account. You can sign in using two methods:
Once logged in, your session stays active for 30 days — you won't need to sign in again every time you visit. Your session is stored in a secure HttpOnly cookie and is automatically restored when you return to the app. You will only be asked to log in again after the session expires or if you explicitly click Logout.
Pinbox offers different plans to match your needs:
You can upgrade your plan anytime from your account settings. All plans include the same privacy protections and security features.
