No. privacy.fish is designed for people who prioritize privacy and security above convenience, and it fits best if you are comfortable with a more technical workflow.

You do not need to be an expert, but privacy.fish is built for people comfortable with command-line, SSH, and SFTP workflows.

You download age-encrypted .eml files over SFTP. An optional client-side tool can serve downloaded mail to an email client such as Thunderbird via POP3.

No. The service is designed around downloading encrypted mail to your own devices instead of keeping a traditional webmail mailbox on the server.

Each account supports up to 10 SSH public keys, which means you can authorize up to 10 devices.

Yes. Each account includes one main address and an unlimited number of aliases, including supported privacy.fish domains such as @pfi.sh.

Emails are downloaded by you or automatically deleted after 14 days. privacy.fish is intentionally not permanent server-side storage.

No. Access is unlocked with a one-time payment for the lifetime of the service rather than an ongoing subscription.

Recovery depends on your backup SSH key pair. Without a valid backup key, there is no alternative recovery path.

No. privacy.fish does not use third-party analytics or tracking scripts on the website, and it does not scan your emails beyond minimal anti-spam protections.

iPhone is not supported because the required privacy.fish client tooling cannot run there in the way the service requires.
