Create secure one time self destructing notes to send sensitive information with simple short urls. - 1ty.me

· 2 weeks ago

Fine free tool for the occasional one-off password or token share that self-destructs after viewing. Skip it for regulated data, audit needs, or daily secret sharing — use a password manager with Send instead.
