In their own words
EmailOnDeck
EmailOnDeck provides temporary email addresses for sign-ups, confirmations, and privacy protection. A free address typically remains available for hours, often most of the day, but closing the browser or clearing cookies can end access sooner. Free users can send messages only to other EmailOnDeck addresses; Pro users can send anonymous email to anyone. Messages support viewing or downloading attachments. Chrome and Firefox extensions create disposable addresses, and free iPhone and Android apps are available. The browser-based Spy Pixel Scanner says pasted email source stays on the device rather than being uploaded or stored. Pro API access covers address creation and deletion, domain lists, message counts, headers, and raw messages, with a documented limit of 25,000 calls per day; sending through the API is unavailable. API use requires an active Pro account and a 40-character private key. Plans include an ad-supported free option and Pro payments listed at 0.00 BTC or 0.03 ETH, each extending access for 30 days.
