// Everything you need to know about anonymous self-destructing notes
AnonNote is a free anonymous messaging service that lets you send encrypted self-destructing notes. Your messages are protected with military-grade AES-256 encryption and automatically destroyed after being read once. It's the best alternative to Privnote and OneTimeSecret for secure, anonymous communication.
- Write: Enter your secret message or password
- Encrypt: Your message is encrypted with AES-256 in your browser
- Share: Get a unique secure link to share
- Read: Recipient opens link and views the message
- Destroy: Message is permanently deleted instantly
Yes. All messages are encrypted with AES-256 encryption, the same standard used by governments and military. The encryption happens in your browser before any data is sent. The decryption key is embedded in the URL fragment (after #) and never reaches our servers. This zero-knowledge architecture means we literally cannot read your messages even if we wanted to.
Unread notes are automatically deleted from our servers when they expire. You can set expiration times from 1 hour to 30 days. This ensures no data lingers indefinitely on our infrastructure.
No. Each note can only be read once. When someone opens the link and views the message, it is immediately and permanently deleted from our servers. There is no way to recover or re-read the message. This self-destruct feature ensures maximum privacy and security.
AnonNote is perfect for:
- Password sharing - Send login credentials, WiFi passwords, or account details securely
- Private messages - Share confidential information that leaves no trace
- API keys and tokens - Share development credentials safely
- Corporate secrets - Send sensitive business data to colleagues
- One-time codes - Temporary access codes and authentication tokens
