End-to-End Encrypted • Zero-Knowledge

Securely Share Messages, Files,
and Secrets — Once

CipherOnce lets you share sensitive information with full control. Everything is encrypted on your device and automatically deleted after access or expiration.

No registration required • No tracking • Privacy by default

Traditional email and chat apps weren’t built for secrets

Passwords, API keys, confidential documents, and sensitive messages can live forever in inboxes, backups, and chat logs — even after you think they’re deleted. Accidental leaks, compromised accounts, or insider errors put your data at risk.

Real Security Example

A developer shares database credentials in Slack. Months later, an attacker gains access to the workspace. Even “deleted” messages can be retrieved, leading to full database compromise.

CipherOnce keeps secrets secure, private, and temporary — automatically.

Share files, passwords, API keys, or messages with one-time access, expiration, and full encryption. No traces, no logs, no risk.

How It Works

Three simple steps. Military-grade security.

Encrypt on your device

Messages, files, and secrets are encrypted on your device before being sent. CipherOnce never sees your data.

Share securely

Share a secure link or message with full control, including expiration and download permissions.

Access expires

Once viewed or expired, the content is permanently deleted and cannot be accessed again.

Technical Implementation

End-to-End Encryption
Your data is encrypted before it leaves your device and stays protected at all times.
Keys Stay With You
Encryption keys are never stored on our servers or written to logs.
Zero-Knowledge Design
CipherOnce cannot read, recover, or access your messages or files.
Automatic Deletion
Content is permanently erased after access or when it expires.
Device-Based Security
Modern authentication methods like QR login and passkeys reduce password risk.

Enterprise-Grade Security

Built with security professionals in mind

True Zero-Knowledge

We cannot decrypt your secrets. Period. The encryption key never leaves your device.

Client-Side Encryption

All encryption happens in your browser using the Web Crypto API. We never see plaintext.

Self-Destruct by Design

Secrets are deleted immediately after viewing. No grace period, no 'trash bin', no recovery.

One-Time Access

Each secret can only be viewed once. Multiple access attempts are automatically blocked.

Time-Based Expiration

Set custom expiration times from 5 minutes to 7 days. Unread secrets auto-delete.

Secure File Sharing

Share documents, images, and files up to 20MB with the same encryption standards.

QR Code Generation

Perfect for offline or in-person sharing. Scan and access securely.

No Content Logging

We do not log the content of your secrets. Our architecture ensures your privacy by design.

No Account Required

Start sharing immediately. No registration, no tracking, no data collection.

Security Architecture

Transparency in design and implementation

End-to-End Encryption

All messages, files, and secrets are encrypted on your device before being sent. The encryption key stays with the link and is never sent to our servers.

Zero-Knowledge Storage

CipherOnce servers only store encrypted data. We do not have access to the encryption keys and cannot read, decrypt, or recover your content.

Automatic & Permanent Deletion

Once content is viewed or expires, it is permanently deleted. There are no backups, archives, or recovery options.

Privacy by Default

We do not read your content or track your activity. CipherOnce avoids unnecessary data collection and does not sell or analyze your private information.

Want to verify our security claims? Our encryption implementation is open-source and independently auditable.
