ShareText
Share a piece of text that can only be read a set number of times, then destroys itself.
Sign-in is required to create a share and to open one, so every read is attributable.
What Google shares with us
- Your name, email address and profile picture. Your email identifies your shares and is recorded against any share you open.
- Nothing else. We ask only for your basic profile — no access to Gmail, Drive, Contacts or Calendar.
- We never post or send anything on your behalf.
We store no password. You can revoke access at any time from your Google Account → Security → Third-party access.
-
Encrypted before it leaves your device
Your text is encrypted in this browser with AES-256-GCM. The server only ever receives bytes it has no key for.
-
Reads are counted, then it's gone
Choose how many times it can be opened. On the last read the record is deleted outright — not flagged, deleted.
-
Nothing left to clean up
Everything carries an expiry. Whatever isn't read in time removes itself without anyone having to remember.
Open source, and built to know nothing
ShareText is open source — audit the encryption, run your own, or open an issue. The key is generated and used entirely in your browser, so there is no server-side path to your plaintext to trust. github.com/ajeygore/sharetext ↗

The encryption key never reaches the server — it travels only in the key you copy out. If you lose it, the text cannot be recovered by anyone, us included.
