Hi, I'm Samuel, and I like to build things.
My Story
I like building things: taking an idea and turning it into something people can actually use.
Temp Mail AI started because most temporary email services felt clunky and dated, and nobody seemed to care how they were to use. I wanted to make something different: a tool that works properly and is pleasant to use. Something you'd come back to.
It's one of several websites and tools I run. Some protect privacy, some save time, some just make an everyday job a bit easier.
Mostly I enjoy the building itself: making things work better, look cleaner and feel more obvious to use. The end result matters, but so does how it feels to use.
How It's Built
I'm a builder, not a security researcher, and I'd rather say so. The parts that matter most, like the mail servers and the AI model, run on established, widely used services rather than anything home-made.
That means the core of the tool rests on well-tested foundations, and my job is to put them together carefully and keep them working.
If something looks wrong, or you spot a privacy or security problem, tell me through the contact page and I'll fix it. It's one person, and the buck stops with me.
What I Care About
Building Things That Work
Functionality first. If it doesn't work well, nothing else matters. Every feature should do exactly what it promises.
Great User Experience
Tools should feel good to use. Clean design, obvious interactions and care over the small details.
Actually Helping People
Every project I build should solve a real problem or make someone's life a little bit easier. That's the point.
Respecting Privacy
Your data is yours. I'm not interested in harvesting information or selling data. Just providing useful tools.
Privacy Commitments
I built Temp Mail AI because I believe privacy should be simple and accessible. Here's what that means in practice:
- No permanent storage - This site keeps no copies of your emails
- No personal details - No accounts and no profiles. Google Analytics counts visits, and that's all
- No data sales - Your information is never sold to anyone, ever
- Free, with no paid tier - Everything on the site is free, including the AI features
The Technology
The inbox runs on mail.tm, a public temporary mail provider, with a backup provider if it's down. Verification codes and links are picked out in your browser, without any AI, so you can copy them in one tap.
The AI parts are optional. Press Check for spam on an email, or ask the inbox assistant a question, and the relevant parts of your mail are sent to Google's Gemini model to answer. Nothing goes to the AI unless you ask, and the answers aren't stored.
It's the kind of tool I'd want to use myself, and that's the bar I aim for.
Give It a Try
Temp Mail AI is free to use. No signup, no hassle. Just a temporary email that does what it says.
