Best OneTimeSecret Alternatives
OneTimeSecret is a popular tool for sharing self-destructing secrets, but it uses server-side encryption — meaning the server briefly sees your plaintext. If you want client-side encryption, configurable views, or longer expiration, here are the best alternatives.
Vaulted
FeaturedClient-side AES-256-GCM encryption with zero-knowledge architecture. The server never sees your plaintext. Configurable view limits (unlimited or 1-10), passphrase protection, and expiration up to 30 days.
Key differentiator: Strongest encryption model — true zero-knowledge with the key never leaving your browser.
Privnote
Simple self-destructing notes with email read notifications. Server-side encryption, single-view only, ad-supported.
Key differentiator: Read receipts — you get an email when the note is opened.
Bitwarden Send
Client-side encrypted sharing built into the Bitwarden password manager. Requires a Bitwarden account to send. File sharing on paid plans.
Key differentiator: Integrates into your existing Bitwarden vault workflow.
Password Pusher
Open source, self-hostable secret sharing with server-side encryption. REST API for automation. Configurable view and time limits.
Key differentiator: Self-hostable with API access for CI/CD automation.
scrt.link
Client-side encrypted, zero-knowledge secret sharing with Slack integrations. Open source. Single-view only.
