Every other email client starts with a blank compose window and hopes you remember to change the From field. Cereal inverts this. Your bowl sets your identity, signature, and tone automatically before you type a word.
Cereal is a channel where your Claude Code agents, custom automations, and AI assistants communicate with you directly, inside the same dashboard you manage everything else.
Use a throwaway domain for every signup, form, and service you don't trust. One quick setup, then it runs itself. Your real inboxes stay clean. Verification codes surface front and center.

Yes: Gmail, Google Workspace, Fastmail, iCloud (including custom domains via iCloud+), Outlook, Microsoft 365, Zoho Mail, Migadu, Namecheap PrivateEmail, GoDaddy, plus any provider supporting IMAP and SMTP. Mix providers freely across different bowls.
By the address it was sent to. contact@agency.com lands in your Agency bowl. support@saas.io lands in your SaaS bowl. You assign addresses to each bowl during setup, it's automatic from there.
Self-host the open-source version free, no signup, no time limit. If you want the hosted version run it for a month at $9 and cancel any time, or grab Lifetime at $99 if you know you'll stick around. There's no separate free trial on the hosted plan.
Lifetime members get a free throwaway domain included. Pro users register their own (cheap, ~$10/yr) and set it as a catch-all. Use those aliases for signups. All that noise lands in one bowl. Verification codes surface large.
Pro is $9/month or $79/year, billed by the month or year and cancel any time. Lifetime is $99 one-time for the first 500 customers, then it's gone. If you'd use Cereal for more than a year, Lifetime is the better deal, and once those 500 spots fill, only the monthly and annual plans remain.
Our servers connect to IMAP on your behalf. Email bodies are never stored permanently, processed in memory and discarded. Metadata is stored encrypted so the dashboard stays fast. Source code is public for verification.
