AES-256 encrypted
Made for things that should not linger

Private sharing without the permanent trail.

Everything has a clear lifetime, strong encryption, and a viewer experience designed around privacy.

Text or images

Share up to 5,000 characters or an optimized JPEG or PNG image up to 3 MB.

Password encrypted

Each item uses authenticated AES-256 encryption. Your password unlocks it and is never saved.

View once

Reveal content for five seconds, or choose a custom one-time countdown from 10 to 60 seconds.

Hard-deleted within 24 hours

Expired database rows are permanently deleted—not archived or moved to a recoverable trash state.

No dashboard previews

Your workspace shows status and timestamps, never the private text or image itself.

Protected viewing

Unlock attempts are rate-limited per viewer and link to slow password guessing.

Hard deletion is included with every plan. One-time files and messages are erased when unlocked. At expiry, each item is permanently removed from the database, not soft-deleted or retained for recovery.
How it works

Three steps. Then it disappears.

STEP 01

Create

Add private text or an image, choose its viewing rule, and protect it with a password.

STEP 02

Share separately

Send the generated viewer link and communicate its password through a separate channel.

STEP 03

Let it fade

One-time content is erased at unlock. Every item row is permanently hard-deleted after its 24-hour expiry.
