Genmail on mobile: temp mail, QR codes, and your inbox
Genmail runs in the mobile browser for full temp mail generation and inbox viewing, and the homepage exposes a QR code that encodes the generated disposable address as plain text so a phone camera can capture it for quick paste into apps.
There is no separate app store download—Genmail is a fast, responsive web app. When you need your throwaway address on another device, the QR button is the bridge.
Phone browser = full product
Generate a disposable address, open your live inbox, and read OTPs on the same page—Safari, Chrome, or any modern mobile browser.
QR for desktop → phone
Create the inbox on a laptop, tap the QR icon, scan with your phone, and paste the address into an app that only exists on mobile.
Copy still one tap away
Beside the address you get a clipboard copy control; the QR is optional when you already have the keyboard in front of you.
How mobile fits the Genmail workflow
On a small screen you follow the same path as desktop: open the site, generate a temporary email, and keep that tab open while you paste the address into a signup form—often in another app via the app switcher. Messages appear in the inbox panel below the hero once the address exists, so you can watch for verification mail without leaving the browser.
What the QR code actually contains
The code is not a magic login link—it encodes the plain disposable email string itself (the same characters you would copy with the clipboard button). Most phone cameras offer to copy text or open a compose flow when they recognize that payload. That design keeps the feature simple: scan, grab the address, paste it wherever the mobile app asks for email.
When QR beats typing on glass
Long random addresses are easy to mistype. If you generated the inbox on a desktop monitor but the service you are joining only exists on your phone, scanning avoids retyping thirty-plus characters. Close the modal with the on-screen button or by tapping outside the card—the UI uses a backdrop listener so stray taps dismiss it cleanly.
What the QR looks like on the page
Below is a real QR rendered the same way as the homepage modal: black modules on a white tile, encoding a single string. The sample address is for illustration only—after you click Generate on Genmail, your code would contain whatever inbox we just minted for you.
Homepage QR
This is a static example. On the live site, open the QR icon next to your address—the code updates to match your current disposable inbox.
