Send a note that deletes itself

The note is encrypted in your browser before it is sent. CrawlCheck stores only the scrambled text; the key that opens it is the part of the link after #, which browsers never send to a server. Once it is read or expires, it is gone.

How it works

  1. Your browser makes a new 256-bit key and encrypts the note with it (AES-GCM) before anything is sent.
  2. CrawlCheck stores only the encrypted text. The key is the part of the link after #, which browsers never send to any server, so we cannot read your note.
  3. Opening the link fetches the encrypted text and decrypts it in the reader’s browser. If you chose delete on first read, it is deleted from our storage at that moment.
  4. Unread notes are deleted when they expire. Anyone who has the whole link can read the note, so send it only to the person it is for.
