Burner Note
Zero knowledge self destructing notes
Overview
What it is
Burner Note is a free, ad-free and open sourced service for sending secure text based notes that are completely erased from existence once they've been read. The product utilises AES-256-CBC encryption signed with a message authentication code (MAC).
Intent
I need it when
Share confidential messages with end-to-end encryption and verify no third party can intercept
Burner Note uses AES-256-GCM encryption in the browser before transmission, with the decryption key stored only in the URL fragment (never sent to servers). Open-source code allows technical verification of security claims.
Send files and notes with password protection and expiration controls
Pro tier enables password protection, custom expiration days, view limits, and encrypted file attachments. Users can control how long notes remain accessible and how many times they can be read.
Send sensitive information securely without leaving a permanent record
Burner Note encrypts notes client-side with AES-256 and automatically deletes them after reading, ensuring no persistent data trail. The zero-knowledge architecture means even the service provider cannot access the content.
Drop
Not a fit when
- User needs persistent note storage or archival; Burner Note permanently deletes notes after reading
- User requires collaboration features or shared editing; product is designed for one-time encrypted message delivery
- User needs protection against compromised devices or malicious browser extensions; client-side encryption cannot defend against these threats
- User wants to send notes to recipients without sharing a URL link; the decryption key is embedded in the URL fragment
- User needs offline access to notes; Burner Note requires internet connectivity and server access
