Dead Drop

This page needs JavaScript.

A Dead Drop is sealed and opened in your browser, so the words never reach our server in readable form — and that takes code running on your side. In Tor Browser, switch the security level to "Safer" (notes without a password) or "Standard" (notes with a password) for this page — or open the link in the YGOOW app.

What this page can — and can't — promise

The key is the part of the link after the #. Browsers never send that part to any server, and link previews in chat apps never get it — so a preview can't open or burn the note.
Our relay stores only the sealed note and a hash of a proof of the key. It sees when a note is created, its size class (1, 4, 16 or 64 KB) and when it is opened or expires — not the words, not the password, not who you are.
The code that seals and opens notes is sent by our server each time this page loads. In the app it was installed once. If a server you don't control is part of what you defend against, use the app.
Over a normal connection our server sees your IP address (we don't log it). To hide it, use Tor Browser — the .onion address works the same way.
"Gone" means our relay deletes the note at the first successful opening. That is our promise, which you can't verify — so the note is encrypted anyway.

This browser can't do it.

A note that is read once, then gone.

Here is your link.
