What it does
Aliases is a small native iOS app that connects to your own Postfix-backed aliases server. It lets you create new aliases, toggle them on or off, and search the list — all from your iPhone or iPad, with the data still living on your own server.
How it works
- The app talks to your private aliases API over HTTPS with mutual TLS authentication (mTLS).
- Aliases sync locally for offline reading.
- Changes made offline queue up and replay when you reconnect.
- No accounts, no third-party analytics, no advertising.
Status
Closed beta on TestFlight. Distribution is limited to invited testers. If you have a TestFlight invitation, install TestFlight from the App Store first, then open the invitation link from your email.
Requirements
- iPhone or iPad running iOS / iPadOS 18.6 or later.
- An invitation from the developer (this is not a public app).
- A self-hosted aliases backend with a client certificate provisioned for you.
Source
The backend and the iOS client are personal projects. Source for the Rust backend lives in the same repository as this site.
