Built for ourselves.
Opened for everyone.

At Agdir, we build DevOps infrastructure. A lot of that work involves testing systems that send email — signup flows, OTP verification, notification pipelines, password resets. For years we ran a shared internal inbox for exactly this: spin up a throwaway address, trigger the flow, check the email arrived, tear it down. Fast, private, no account needed.

When we talked to developers and QA engineers at other companies, we heard the same story everywhere. Everyone has some workaround — a Gmail alias nobody manages, a paid service they're half-annoyed by, a shared postmaster inbox that's basically a landfill. The tooling we'd taken for granted turned out to be something people actually wanted.

So we cleaned ours up and opened it.

tempy.email is a free disposable email service. Generate an address instantly — no account, no sign-up. Receive emails in real time. Let it expire on its own when you're done.

For teams, there's an API. Create inboxes programmatically, receive emails via webhooks, and tear them down in code. It's designed for E2E test suites, CI pipelines, and anything that needs to test an email flow reliably and repeatably.

No data is stored permanently. Emails live in memory and vanish when the timer runs out — or when you discard the address. That's not a limitation; it's the point.

We're Agdir Drift AS, a Norwegian company. We build infrastructure tooling — the kind of reliable, low-drama software that keeps systems running without anyone thinking about it. tempy.email started as one of those internal tools and turned into something we wanted to share.

We run tempy.email as a public service, free of charge. There's no VC money, no growth team, no engagement metrics. Just a useful tool, kept running.
