Secure Protected Text - Free zero-knowledge encrypted notepad — no account needed

by•
SecureText is a free encrypted notepad. Type, set a password, done - your note is encrypted in your browser with AES-256 before it ever hits the server. No account, no tracking, no ads. Zero-knowledge means we literally can't read it.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm the maker of SecureText — a free, zero-knowledge encrypted notepad. Every note is encrypted with AES-256-GCM right in your browser before it ever touches the server, using a key derived from your password via PBKDF2-SHA-256. No accounts, no tracking, no ads. A few things that make it different: - Zero-knowledge architecture — we can't read your notes even if we wanted to - Multi-tab notes for grouping secrets - Public/Private modes — share a link publicly or keep it password-only - SSAVR — lock a note to a single IP address - Custom URL slugs instead of random IDs - A Warrant Canary, updated monthly Would love your feedback — especially on the crypto choices (PBKDF2 at 100k iterations right now, weighing a move to Argon2) and whether IP-locking is something you'd actually use in your workflow. Try it (no signup):

Love how dead simple this is, no signup and real zero-knowledge is rare. One thing that would make it stickier for me though: a built-in timer that auto-destroys the note after a set period like 24 hours or one read. Right now I have to remember to delete stuff manually and I sometimes forget.

Love the simplicity of this. One thing that would make it even better for me would be an optional auto-decrypt timer that locks the note again after a few minutes of inactivity, so I don't have to worry about forgetting to close the tab when I walk away from my laptop.

Typed a quick note, set a password, and it instantly encrypted right in the browser with no signup. Love that it actually works without an account or any of that tracking nonsense.
