I don't think that there is a need for that ๐ค
I haven't used Addy so I don't know specific details, but I guess you could forward the emails to addresses with a prefix, e.g.
You can then just use sieve filters to categorise them in the folders you'd like:
The only reason I've been thinking that you would need a separate domain, is if you are self-hosting a service like Addy: if websites realize that your domain is used for "random" addresses, your main domain might end up in a blacklist as a spam precaution (whereas with a dedicated forwarding domain, only the forwarded emails would be at risk)
