Write a note, share the link, and the note is destroyed after one read.
No account needed. Free forever plan.
Encrypted in your browser before anything is sent. Burn after read is on for every anonymous secret.
One URL. The key after the # stays in the browser and never reaches our servers.
The first open burns the ciphertext. A second visit, by anyone, meets the destroyed page.
Browser-side encryption shipped on 29 September 2026. Secrets created before that date were stored as plaintext until they expired, and a file's name, size and type are still visible to us. Read the full security model.
Write the note above and press the button. The text is encrypted in your browser with AES-GCM-256 and the key is kept in the link after the #, so LinkPilot stores only ciphertext. Send the link however you like. The reader opens it, presses reveal, reads the note, and the stored copy is destroyed as part of that reveal.
A note like this suits anything that should be read once and not kept: the alarm code for the house-sitter, a gift card number, a client's temporary login, instructions you would rather not have forwarded. The reader needs a browser and nothing else. An unread note expires after seven days; a free account lets you shorten that to one hour or 24 hours and revoke a note before it is read.
Privnote is the best-known tool for self-destructing notes and also encrypts in the browser. LinkPilot adds revocation from a dashboard, file attachments, and on Pro a passphrase and an audit timeline, inside the same workspace as your short links. The Privnote alternative page lays out the differences and says when Privnote is the better fit.
Pro, $29 a month, adds a passphrase on every secret, a custom expiry date and time, and the audit timeline that records each view, burn and revoke. See plans.
