What Maski is
Maski creates email aliases that forward messages to a real inbox without disclosing that inbox address to senders. Users can pause or retire aliases and set forwarding or blocking rules by sender. Chrome and Firefox extensions can generate and fill aliases on signup forms; the extension is included on every plan and stores a revocable scoped key. Both plans include one-click unsubscribe routing. The Free plan costs nothing and includes 10 aliases and 100 forwards per day. Pro costs $4.99/month and includes 25 aliases, 5,000 forwards per day, and the ability to hold messages in a private inbox or reply and send from an alias. Pro also supports aliases on a user's own domain, with one-click DNS setup for supported providers. Maski says selected account and message information is encrypted at rest, and public web, API, and WebSocket connections use TLS 1.2 or later. It has no mobile apps and says it does not currently hold SOC 2 Type I or ISO 27001 certifications.
