Why Shallot Mail

Privacy that's worth crying happy tears over

Most email is free because you're the produce. We think your inbox should belong to you, root, stem, and bulb.

🚫

No ad networks. Ever.

No trackers, no profiling, no "personalized offers" grown from your private conversations. Your mail is not for sale. Not even a little.

🔐

Only you hold the key

Zero-access encryption means nobody but you can read your messages. Not hackers, not governments, not even us on our nosiest day.

🧅

Nothing stored in the clear

Not a single unencrypted message ever sits on our servers. At rest, in transit, in backups: everything stays sealed in its skin.

🌱

Grown in the open

Open-source clients, independent security audits, and a transparency report you can actually read over breakfast.

Our layers of security

Peel back as far as you like. It's secure all the way down.

Ogres have layers. Onions have layers. We took notes and added a few more.

End-to-end encryption. Messages are sealed on your device and only opened on theirs.
Zero-access storage. Your mailbox is encrypted with keys we never see.
Encrypted metadata. Subject lines and contacts are protected too, not just the body.
Hardware-backed key storage, with optional security-key sign-in for the extra cautious.
Independent audits. Outside experts peel through our stack every year.

Tasteful privacy

We keep your messages under wraps

Big mail providers leave your conversations simmering in data centers where every algorithm gets a taste. We do things differently:

No tracking pixels. We block them before they ever reach your inbox.
Peel-away aliases. Hand out disposable addresses, then discard them like a papery skin.
No data retention surprises. Deleted means deleted, not "moved to a warehouse."
Strict no-logs stance. We can't sell what we never collected.

Invite-only, on purpose

Join the bunch

We're growing Shallot Mail carefully, in small batches with no rushed harvests. Invite-only keeps the service fast, the spam out, and the community lovely.

Request an account and we'll email you the moment a spot opens up. Members can also share a limited number of invites with people they trust.
