What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded
A self-hostable web service for sharing sensitive information like passwords via single-use, self-destructing links. Written in Ruby with Redis (and optionally PostgreSQL/RabbitMQ), it ensures only the intended recipient views the secret once before it is destroyed.
Use cases
- share a password with a coworker without it lingering in chat logs
- send api keys or credentials over email securely
- self-host a one-time secret sharing service
- give a client a temporary credential link that self-destructs
- avoid leaving sensitive info in inboxes and messaging apps
When to choose
- you need to transmit credentials or sensitive text one-time without leaving copies
- you want a self-hosted alternative to hosted secret-sharing services
- you need MFA/WebAuthn-protected secret sharing with an API
When to avoid
- you need to share large files rather than short text secrets
- you need recipients to access the secret multiple times
- you want zero infrastructure and prefer a fully managed hosted tool
