A secure web application designed to create secure, self-destructive notes that automatically erase after being read. Perfect for sending sensitive information that you don't want to remain accessible indefinitely.
Each note is destroyed immediately after it is read, ensuring your sensitive information doesn't stay online longer than necessary.
Customizable encryption settings allow you to set a unique salt for each note, enhancing security.
A simple interface for quickly creating and sharing secure notes with your intended recipients seamlessly.
Python-based implementation with Flask, Fernet encryption, and server-side Jinja templates. Great for classic Python web stacks and quick prototyping.
Modern JavaScript implementation with Express, TweetNaCl encryption, and EJS templates. Ideal for Node.js environments and JavaScript-first projects.
Sending secret notes can be incredibly useful in various contexts where privacy and confidentiality are paramount:
Sharing sensitive details like passwords, PINs, or recovery access codes with trusted family members safely.
Exchanging contract details, corporate negotiation points, or HR actions without leaving an accidental leak window.
Exchanging classified elements with anonymous sources to ensure identity safety without leaving lingering logs.
Attorneys exchanging time-sensitive data with clients where verification is needed but records must remain clear.
IT managers provisioning temporary administrative system access credentials that shouldn't be saved long term.
Transmitting regulatory compliant personal health indexes securely to patients without leaving lingering cached records.
Choose the implementation you want to run locally. Both Flask and Node.js versions are available side by side.
Classic Python implementation with Flask, Fernet encryption, and SQLite.
