A defined lifetime
Choose the supported duration and review when the identity will expire.
Disposable Hats
A temporary identity for a specific job.
Create a short-lived Hat for a contact, project or handoff. Keep that exchange separate from the identity you use for longer-term work.
No phone number or email required for core Hat use.
The useful difference
A clearer way to handle sensitive work.
Purpose-specific contact
Share the temporary Hat with the people involved in that exchange.
Free to get started
Free use includes starter limits. Premium offers more capacity and longer durations where available.
How it works
Three deliberate steps.
Create a Disposable Hat
Open the relevant Hat creation action in the messenger.
Share its identity
Give the intended contact the temporary Hat ID or supported contact route.
Plan for expiry
Preserve information you are required to retain through an approved process before the Hat expires.
Know the boundary
Choose controls with clear expectations.
A disposable identity is not a guarantee of anonymity or forensic erasure. Recipient copies, device state, connection data and details you disclose can still identify an exchange.
