We created this article thanks to your suggestion that arrived on Telegram and then reported on Codeberg 1. The idea was born after sharing the article Anonymous URL Shortener. In addition to the usual links to reduce URLs, it is possible to create links that can only be used once!
It is a very catchy and interesting idea and allows you to share anything in secret. We put the secret in italics so that we always remember that you are not invisible on the internet (not even with Tor) so don't think you're one simply by sharing a self-destructing link.
Links can only be used once
Let's start our list of alternatives, we have already seen some of these alternatives in the article How to exchange private texts. In this case, however, we will only focus on links that can self-destruct after the first use.
Open source
free with a PRO version at 1$ per month
In addition to being the most beautiful graphically, it seems to be one of the most complete. In fact, it allows you to share text, files, a redirect and a "neogram" i.e. a Neo Matrix style message only once. It's software Open source 2 and all the information is end-to-end encrypted. It's free but with some limitations, if you want you can also use the pro version 1$ per month.
Yopass
Open source
free
Another very interesting site, it's still software Open source 3 and allows you to send encrypted messages with the option to download them only once. Unlike Share a secret you can only send text.
Privnote
Open source
free
Also in this case a site that runs with software Open source 4 which allows you to send text that self-destructs after the first reading. You can also enter a password to encrypt the text and also receive an email when the note is read.
1ty.me
free
Unlike the previous ones, it does not appear to be software Open source although, let's always remember this when talking about services to be used online like these no one can guarantee that the software running is the same as the one released. So in this case free software is welcome Open source but you only have reasonable security in using what has been released if you install it yourself on your own server. Having said that, too 1ty.me it's interesting and allows you to send short links that will self-destruct after the first reading!
Password.link
Open source
free with a PRO version
We arrive at the last link to report. However, keep in mind that even in this case we're not talking about software Open source. Password.link offers free one-time shareable text sharing, more in paid version (also quite expensive, to be honest) offers other options.
