Cloaked email addresses let you send and receive emails without sharing your real email address. Each Cloaked Identity can have one Cloaked email address, which acts as a private alias tied to that identity.
Emails sent to a Cloaked address are received by Cloaked, keeping your personal inbox protected while still allowing you to communicate normally.
This article explains how Cloaked email addresses work and how to manage emails across desktop and mobile.
What Cloaked Email Addresses Are
A Cloaked email address is a private email alias associated with a single identity.
Messages sent to that address are handled by Cloaked so your real email address is never exposed to senders.
Each identity can have:
One email address
One phone number
One username
One password
You can use Cloaked email addresses for:
Account signups and verification
Subscriptions and newsletters
Customer support accounts
One-time or long-term communication
Emails sent from Cloaked always appear as coming from your Cloaked email address, not your personal email.
Why Use Cloaked Email Instead of Burner Emails
Cloaked email addresses help you manage and isolate communication more easily than traditional burner emails.
With Cloaked:
All emails across identities appear in one inbox
You don’t need to log into multiple email accounts
If one email address starts receiving spam, you can change or remove only that identity without affecting others
This makes it easier to contain spam, identify which service leaked your information, and keep the rest of your inboxes clean.

From the Cloaked dashboard:
Select Emails under the Inbox section in the left-hand menu.
