About BurnPony: Self-Destruct Notes
Send a secret without making the other person install anything.
Write a note, set the self-destruct rules, share one link. The note is encrypted on your device with AES-256-GCM before anything is uploaded, and it decrypts only in the recipient's browser. The decryption key travels in the part of the link after the #, which browsers never send to any server, so the server stores ciphertext it cannot read, plus a note ID, a view count, and an expiry. No accounts, no names, no analytics.
THREE KINDS OF NOTE
• Simple: one note, one link, optional passphrase
• Double bottom: one link with separate compartments, each opened by its own passphrase. Hand over one passphrase and only that compartment shows; nobody can prove the others exist
• Split key: the note opens only when enough key links are combined, for example any 2 of 3
WHAT YOU CONTROL
• Views: burn after 1 reading, or allow up to 100
• Expiry: 5 minutes to 30 days, changeable later, counted from now
• Scheduled opening: the note stays hidden, looking like it does not exist, until the time you pick
• Optional passphrase, stretched with PBKDF2 and mixed into the key. Send it through a different channel than the link
• Open immediately: skip the confirmation screen when a note should open on the first visit
• Auto-hide: the revealed note re-hides after a timer
• Read receipts, disclosed to the recipient before they reveal the note. BurnPony does not do silent read tracking
• Defaults for new notes, set once in Settings
• A private label for your own list; it never leaves your device
• QR code for in-person handoff: the whole link, key included, transfers with no network at all
SAVED COPIES (OPTIONAL, OFF BY DEFAULT)
Keep a copy of a note you send so you can reread it after it burns. You choose per note. Each copy is encrypted to a key held in your phone's secure hardware, which only releases it after your fingerprint, face or screen lock. Double bottom notes are never saved.
