About Thirtel
Thirtel exists because disposable email should not feel disposable as a product. Most temporary mail sites work — until you notice the popunders, the vague retention story, or the quiet implication that "temporary" is mostly a slogan.
Thirtel is created by Aarish Rathi. We build receive-only temporary inboxes that really expire, companion tools for passwords and signup test data, and guides that explain how disposable email actually works. Tagline: Temporary, on purpose.
What we believe
- Ephemeral honesty. Temporary means temporary. We do not overclaim retention, send capability, or permanence.
- Short sentences. Plain words. No fear-mongering and no hype.
- Respect the user. Free tools should not feel cheap; the task comes first.
- Useful beyond the inbox. Password and test-identity helpers sit beside mail because the workflow needs them.
How the product works (plain version)
You get a short-lived address. Mail is stored in temporary storage with an expiry timer. When the timer ends, the inbox is gone. v1 does not send mail from that address. Password and fake-identity generators run in your browser — nothing generated by those tools is transmitted to Thirtel's servers.
Thirtel lives at thirtel.com. Every inbox expires automatically when its timer ends.
Who it is for
Anyone who wants verification without attaching their permanent address to a low-trust service. Developers who need OTPs and form walkthroughs without standing up a full mail stack. QA engineers who need synthetic test data for registration flows. The use cases overlap more than they differ.
