SecureText vs Privnote
Privnote and SecureText serve different purposes. Understanding the difference helps you pick the right tool.
Creates single-use self-destructing links. Once the recipient opens the link, the note is permanently deleted. Best for one-time secret sharing.
A persistent encrypted notepad you can return to anytime. Notes are encrypted in your browser and stored at a custom URL — they stay until you delete them.

Use Case Differences
When to use Privnote
You need to send a one-time secret — a password, API key, or sensitive message — to another person. Once they read it, the information is gone and cannot be accessed again. Privnote is purpose-built for this single-use delivery workflow.
When to use SecureText
You want a private encrypted scratchpad that persists across sessions and devices. Use it for personal notes, journal entries, shopping lists, or any text you want to access repeatedly — all encrypted with a password only you know, with no account required.
Need both?
They are not mutually exclusive. Use SecureText as your daily encrypted notepad and Privnote when you need to send a one-time secret to someone else.
