Proton
Proton brings privacy into the services people use every day, rather than focusing primarily on masking the identities shared with other companies. Its email, calendar, storage, VPN, and password manager make it a compelling alternative to Cloaked for users replacing mainstream productivity services.
Open-source clients and independent audits distinguish its approach for people who value transparency in their privacy tools. Cross-platform email access also supports workflows spanning Apple devices and Linux, although synchronization can occasionally lag.
The main advantage is breadth across productivity and connection privacy, not an equivalent set of disposable contact identities. Proton is the stronger fit when private email, files, and browsing connections matter more than Cloaked-style phone masking and contact controls. Its free offering provides an entry point, while access to the wider ecosystem depends on the selected plan.
