Seal a new note

Your note Your email address, to be notified about this note (optional)

Notifications go to you, the person sealing this note, and never to whoever opens it. You will be told when it is sealed, and when it is opened or destroyed.

Destroy after this many openings Destroy automatically after Never 1 day 3 days 7 days 14 days

Leave this on Never for a note someone should be able to find later, such as one left with a will. The timed options are for a password or code you are handing over now, where a note nobody collected should not sit around indefinitely. There is no reminder before it happens, and a destroyed note cannot be brought back.

Seal this note

Encrypted in your browser. The decryption key lives only in the link you get next. The server never sees it.

Share this link

Anyone with this link can read the note, up to the limit you set. The part after # is the decryption key and is never sent to the server, so keep the link intact and store it somewhere your recipient will be able to reach it.

Writing it down by hand?

This is the same link, in groups that are easier to copy onto paper for a letter, a will, or an executor's file. It is one address shown on two lines only so that it fits. Don't forget the #: without it the note cannot be opened.

The link has a # character between the note id and the key. Neither the note id nor the key has the letters O, I, L, or U. Anything that looks like those characters is a zero or a one. The link works with or without the hyphens, and a stray space or line break where the two lines meet does no harm.

Sealing another one?

This starts a new note. Copy or write down the link above first: it is not shown again, it is the only key, and nobody can recover it, including us.
