Code Contribution Proposal

We'd like to add anon.li Alias as a "Forwarded Email Alias" service in Bitwarden's Generator.

anon.li is an open-source (AGPL v3) email aliasing platform that also bundles zero-knowledge encrypted file sharing. Source code: https://github.com/anondotli/anon.li

Why anon.li fits alongside existing integrations

• Fully open source - AGPL v3, entire codebase public on GitHub
• Free tier - users can create aliases without paying
• REST API - alias creation endpoint ready for Bitwarden integration
• Active development - launched April 2026, actively maintained

API details

The integration would use anon.li's alias creation API:

POST https://anon.li/api/v1/aliases
Authorization: Bearer <API_KEY>
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "description": "Generated by Bitwarden."
}

Response:

{
  "alias": "random123@anon.li",
  "id": "...",
  "created_at": "..."
}

Users generate an API key from their anon.li dashboard under Settings -> API Keys.

What we're proposing to contribute

We are happy to submit PRs to the following repositories:

• bitwarden/clients - Add anon.li as a forwarder option in the web vault, browser extension, and desktop app
• bitwarden/android - Add anon.li to the Android app generator
• bitwarden/ios - Add anon.li to the iOS app generator

The implementation follows the same pattern as the existing SimpleLogin/Addy.io/Forward Email forwarders - a new forwarder class, service dropdown entry, and the API key + optional server URL fields for self-hosted instances.

We'll run the local Bitwarden dev environment and test all integrations before submitting.
