01

Sign up with your business email

We verify you're a real professional at a real company. That address is held by our authentication system so we can sign you in and reset your password, nothing else. Moniker never emails it for outreach, never sells it, and never hands it to a vendor. It doesn't appear in your Moniker profile, and it's never joined to your inbox.

02

Tell us who you really are: privately

Your real name, job title/company, and location. This is genuine identity information, not shared with any vendor. It exists only to confirm you're a real professional and to recover your account if you ever lose access.

03

Choose your Moniker ID

You pick a deliberately broad company profile from three short dropdowns. Industry, company size band, and HQ country (e.g. "Technology & Software · 201–1000 · Australia" instead of your actual employer). Then you choose your own Moniker ID, checked for availability. That profile and that ID are what a vendor sees, nothing narrower.

04

Use it everywhere

Hand your Moniker address to any vendor. Demo requests, gated whitepapers, trial signups, conference badge scans. Every reply lands in your Moniker inbox, sorted into the categories you've set up.

05

Stay in control

Approve a vendor and their mail lands straight in your inbox. Ignore one and they sit in quarantine. Made a decision on a whole category, say, CRMs? Mass-unsubscribe from everyone in it with one tap.

Reset, whenever you need to

If your handle gets noisy or feels compromised, reset it. Vendors you've explicitly trusted carry forward silently. Everyone else, including anyone who bought or scraped your alias, starts from zero.

Skip the setup: tell it what you're evaluating

Describe what you're in the market for and Moniker maps it to a category and the vendors who compete in it, so your inbox is organised before a single email arrives. It works on the vendor list, not on your messages. The categorisation never reads your mail, and every routing rule stays visible and editable. Coming with early access.

FAQ

Common questions

Does a vendor know they're talking to an alias?

They can see the domain, and we'd rather they did. A Moniker address is a real, monitored inbox, not a throwaway that stops working tomorrow, and it tells a vendor you're a verified professional evaluating their category. The point isn't to hide that it's an alias. It's that this alias says more about you than a personal Gmail would.

What happens to mail from vendors I haven't approved?

It lands in quarantine rather than your main inbox. Nothing is lost. You decide whether to approve the sender, file them under a category, or block them outright.

What about phone calls and SMS?

Not yet. Moniker starts with email, which is where most vendor outreach actually lands. A virtual number is something we're actively exploring, but we'd rather ship one channel properly than three badly, so we're not promising a date.

Should I use my Moniker address for logins or two-factor codes?

No. Use your real address for anything that controls access to an account. Your Moniker inbox is built for vendor outreach: the mail that arrives because you asked a company for a demo, a trial, or a pricing guide. Two reasons to keep logins out of it. First, resetting your Moniker issues a new address, and any account whose recovery runs through the old one becomes much harder to get back into. Second, we'd rather not hold anything that could be used to take over your accounts.

Some transactional mail will land there anyway. A trial signup sends you a magic link, and that's the address you gave them. That's expected and fine. The line we're drawing is about where your account recovery points, not about the occasional confirmation email.

Does Moniker read my emails to sort them?

No. Sorting is done by rules, this vendor domain goes in that category, and you can see and change every one of them. The intelligence sits in knowing which vendors sell what, which is a question about the software market, not about your inbox. If we ever add a feature that analyses message content, we'll say so here and in our Privacy Policy before it ships, not after.

Can I use Moniker for more than one active evaluation at a time?

Yes. Your Smart Inbox organises everything by product category automatically, so evaluating five CRMs and three analytics tools at once stays readable, not chaotic.

What does resetting actually remove?

A reset issues you a new alias identity. Every vendor you haven't explicitly trusted loses the ability to reach you at the old one. Trusted vendors are carried forward so you don't lose real conversations.
