Share a link that stops working at a set time. The no-account tool applies a default expiry shown on the result card; a free account lets you choose 1 hour, 24 hours or 7 days, and Pro adds an exact date and time. Unlike a one-time secret, an expiring link can be opened more than once until it expires.

Everything before the # reaches our servers and finds the sealed secret. Everything after it stays in the browser, so we never receive the key.

Share — it expires on its own
After expiration, clicks land on a branded 410 'Gone' page. The destination is never revealed.
A temporary link is a short URL with a built-in expiration date. After it expires, clicks land on a branded 'this link has expired' page instead of the destination — perfect for time-limited offers, one-day campaigns, security-sensitive shares, or content you don't want crawled forever.
These names all describe the same idea: a URL that stops working at a chosen time. LinkPilot's temporary link generator creates them for free. The expired page returns an HTTP 410 'Gone' response so search engines drop the URL and recipients see a clear end state — not a broken redirect.
Most links can't be undone once sent. Temporary links flip that: the link is born with an end date. If circumstances change, you don't need to chase down every recipient. With a free LinkPilot account you can also revoke a link instantly or change the destination after sending.
Use a temporary link when you want a short URL that auto-expires (campaign URLs, calendar invites, demo accounts). Use a secret link when you're sharing a single piece of sensitive content that should be destroyed after the first view.
