Definition
sift.mx lets you share one public handle—name@sift.mx—instead of your real inbox or open DMs. Trusted contacts pass free. Everyone else pays your cover to email or message you.
One handle for attention
You claim a sift handle, connect a private destination inbox, and choose who is trusted. That handle is what you put on your site, bio, deck, or outreach replies—not your personal Gmail or open chat ID.
Email and member chat both sit under the same identity, with different privacy models: private forwarding for email, end-to-end encryption for member chat.
Trusted free, unknowns pay
Whitelist people and domains you already know. Their mail and messages go through without a charge. Unfamiliar senders hit your cover—the price of a serious attempt to reach you.
- Free to create a handle and receive from trusted contacts
- You set the cover in credits (1 credit = $0.10)
- Cover payments go to you; platform fee applies on withdrawal
Built for real inboxes
sift.mx is not a disposable alias and not a spam folder you ignore. It is an attention gate in front of the inbox and chat you already use—so strangers prove intent before they consume your time.
