Hi all! 👋 My name is Arjun and I’m the CEO and co-founder of Cloaked. Cloaked generates unique virtual IDs – email addresses, phone numbers, payment info – so your “real” data is owned and controlled by you and you alone. Maybe the quickest way to understand how it works? Shoot me a text at 573-383-0851. That’s a cloaked # I generated earlier just now – so all texts will appear in my Cloaked dashboard (and on my phone), where I can respond or auto-forward to my real inbox or phone. Some features I’m excited for you to try: 🔐Instant working phone and email IDs: All in one dashboard. You control who can contact you and when 🔐Password manager +: Securely manage and autofill log-in info everywhere 🔐Number locking: Never hear from anyone with that identity again 🔐Reduced spam and unsolicited communications 🔐AutoCloak™ (beta): Automatically update all existing accounts to Cloaked IDs 🔐TOTP: Store all your authenticator codes in one place I got the idea for Cloaked when an AI I had created began texting my then-girlfriend while I was at lunch with a friend. I realized I want to be able to use new technology without worrying about Big Tech owning or selling information about me and my behavior – whether I’m shopping, traveling, using social media, or even meeting up with an acquaintance. Our goal with Cloaked is to bring humanity in the way we approach each other in our relationships to the way we interact online – you should be able to live your life, online and off, without fear of your data being hacked, scammed, breached, or sold. Use the code PRODUCTHUNT to check out Cloaked today, and can’t wait to hear what you think. Cloaked is a consumer company and the people who support us in our community and give us feedback mean everything to us. Thanks so much! And thanks to @hdubugras at Brex for hunting us. 🔥

Proud to hunt Cloaked today! As CEO of Brex, I understand first-hand the need for safety and security for consumers online. Arjun and team have built innovative tech to solve a real problem. Can't wait to keep rooting for Cloaked as they help consumers take back control of our personal data.

Hey there, Product Hunt community! 🌟 I'm Veronica, Head of Marketing at Cloaked. Before joining team here with @acenario, I spearheaded marketing efforts at Neeva—an AI-powered, ad-free search platform that reshaped the way we think about searching the web privately. My journey into the world of AI offered a profound realization: As AI continues to evolve and weave itself deeper into our everyday lives, privacy isn't just a luxury—it's a necessity. As technology advances, so does the urgency for true data protection. Privacy is set to become even more paramount in the next wave of AI-led innovations, where the aggregation and interpretation of data is going to become… scary. This deep-seated belief in privacy’s ever-increasing importance led me to Cloaked. Here, we're not just talking about privacy, but empowering you to own and control your data in its entirety. The concept of generating unique, virtual IDs is groundbreaking, ensuring your genuine data remains just that—genuine and untouched. I invite you to be part of this revolution, to experience firsthand a world where you, and only you, dictate the terms of your online identity. So, will you join us on this journey to reshape the future of privacy? Thank you for your support, and a massive shoutout to everyone in the Product Hunt community. Looking forward to your thoughts and feedback. Let's redefine privacy together! 💪

Awesome service... empowers consumers to take back control over their own personal data. Simple, easy to use, and immediately counters the tracking and personal profiling that data aggregators and malicious actors use to exploit consumers everyday.

Identities have become a valuable commodity. Data aggregators and other service providers collect, trade, and exploit them to track, surveil, predict, and even influence our every action… both online and IRL. The fact is these companies know as much, if not more, about us than we do ourselves. Which presents significant risk to consumers in this era where personal information is increasingly vulnerable to cyber threats, data breaches, and invasive surveillance. It should be no surprise that privacy has become a paramount concern for individuals across the globe. As the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) at Cloaked, and a long-term, certified privacy advocate (IAPP CIPM, ISACA CDPSE), I am excited to be part of the company’s launch of a set of integrated services dedicated to empowering individuals with the tools they need to safeguard their actual identities and enhance their privacy in the digital realm. Cloaked was founded on the principle that every individual deserves the right to maintain control over their own personal data. To deliver that control, Cloaked has developed cutting-edge technology that generates synthetic online identities. Just like Jason Bourne’s, these identities are indistinguishable from real ones and serve as a shield against the prying eyes of cybercriminals, data brokers, and unwarranted surveillance. Our dedication to privacy and security is at the core of everything we do, and we are continually pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the realm of online identity protection. Join us in the journey to take back control of your online identity and experience the freedom of the digital world without fear of exploitation.

This is really really cool and useful. How do you see it evolve with the likes of 1Passwords around? Will it work in tandem or replace password managers?

I love seeing privacy tools getting launched! This seems really cool and useful. I've been wanting to use something alongside my password manager. Will this work well alongside more privacy-centric email providers like Fastmail, or is it meant to be closer to a replacement?

When I was a kid I was told not to share my real name on the internet. Facebook changed everything. :)

This is so gd! It's getting harder and harder to stay annonomous on the net. How is the pricing going to be tho? That page isn't available it seems.

maybe not as relevant for everyone but we have to meet and give our number to so many people that I am unsure how long I actually want to really have a direct line of communication with and cloaked has literally saved my life in that regard. no more new numbers ever :) i know the product does so much more than just this and I use it for much more but this feature was so good...

This app is a game-changer for privacy-conscious folks like me. I'm curious about the security measures in place to protect our data within Cloaked. Can you share more details on encryption and data storage?

That's is actually a very cool product, I had so many times when I was feeling kinda pressured to share my personal data while making an account somewhere and then agree for the company to use it etc. Congratulations on todays launch :)

I've been cobbling this together for the last decade, and while it's gotten easier, it's still a tremendous pain, especially trying to remember which phone number, email and virtual card go together. Cloaked will replace (for me, today) Privacy.com, Dialpad, and Fastmail masked emails, plus tie them all together.

So useful 😁

I think a lot of people need this! Kudos to the team for launching!

It feels just wow! Is it really that easy? It's the first application that could make the anonymous registration process so easy for the user. Phone numbers are generated instantly. It's easy to customize your digital life so that for every website, service, user has a cloaked phone number and email address. All sms and emails go to my real phone number and my email. But this can be opted out of through the settings if desired. The app also makes it easy to import all user passwords, there's even a two-factor authentication field. The design is as modern as possible. What is important for such an application is the smooth operation. Here I can say that I have not had a single failure, all sms came, e-mails were received and sent. This is high quality and excellent approach to the development of the application. I am very glad that I found this app! 🚀

Congrats to @acenario , @vronsaron and team for launching a great product. Protecting your digital identity is one of the greatest gift you can give for yourself! And cloaked is a great way to go about it.

Congrats on the launch!

Congrats guys, so proud and excited to be a part of this journey. Let’s continue to crush it!
