The shortcuts you reach for every day — DMs, email threads, shared docs — leave a permanent trail you can't take back. ### Staging URLs You share a preview URL with a contractor. The project ends. The link lives in your Slack history forever, accessible to anyone with archive access. ### API keys You DM an API key to a teammate. Now it exists in two inboxes, searchable, forwardable, and completely outside your control. ### One-time access You send a download link to a client. They forward it. Now three people you don't know have access to a file that was meant for one. ## Create a link that knows when to disappear. Three steps. No setup, no agents, no infrastructure to maintain. 1. 01 ### Paste your URL Any URL — staging link, document, download, API endpoint. 2. 02 ### Set your rules Burn-after-read, passphrase, expiry date — or combine all three. 3. 03 ### Share safely The link does exactly what you told it to. Then it's gone. ## Everything you need to govern links after they're sent. Secret links are the headline. The rest of the platform makes sure every link — sensitive or not — stays under your control. ### Secret links Burn-after-read, passphrases, expiry, and file attachments. ### Rule Studio Route by geo, device, or A/B fallback — built with natural language. ### Trust Passport 0–100 link trust score, destination locking, and fallback interstitials. ### Privacy-first analytics Geo, device, referrer, bot vs human — aggregated, no raw IPs stored. ### Custom domains Cloudflare for SaaS provisioning with per-domain defaults. ### API + webhooks lp\_live\_ keys, signed webhooks, Zapier and Make compatible. Secret links are free. Everything else scales with your team. ## Simple, transparent pricing Start free, scale as you grow.
