Share a password, token, or note with one person. After they read it, it's gone — encrypted at rest, destroyed on reveal, optional passphrase. No account needed.
Enter the secret
Type or paste the password, token, or message you want to share once.
Add a passphrase (optional)
Require a passphrase for an extra layer of protection if the URL itself leaks.
Send and forget
Share the link. The first successful read destroys the secret atomically — even you can't recover it.
When the recipient opens the link, we show them the secret once and then permanently destroy the encrypted payload. The same URL, opened a second time, shows a 'burned' state — even by you. There's nothing left to leak.
All three remove a URL's value over time, but they answer different questions. A burn-after-read link self-destructs on the first read — it's about one viewer. A one-time secret link is the same idea applied to short text payloads like passwords. An expiring (temporary) link is about a clock — it stops working at a chosen time regardless of how many people opened it. Pick burn-after-read when only one person should see the contents. Pick an expiring link when you want a short URL that stops working on a date.
A self-destructing URL is the right primitive whenever the recipient will read it once and never again: a generated password for first login, a one-time recovery code, an internal staging URL, or a private note to a single person. LinkPilot's burn happens atomically with row-level locking so two simultaneous opens can't both succeed.
Chat messages and emails persist in inboxes, backups, and search indexes long after they were useful. A burn-after-read link removes the secret the moment it's been read, so it can't be re-discovered by someone scrolling through history months later.
