How to Send a Self-Destructing Message

Want to send a message that disappears after it is read? Here is how to create a self-destructing, one-time link in seconds, so nothing is left behind.

Create a one-time message

A self-destructing message is delivered as a single-use link. You write the message, get the link, and send it however you like. The moment the recipient opens it, they see the message and it is deleted, so it cannot be read a second time.

Step by step

• Open the notes tool and type your message.
• Optionally add a password for an extra layer.
• Create the note and copy the one-time link.
• Send the link by chat, email or however you prefer.

Why it is safer

Because the message deletes itself and (with a zero-knowledge tool) is encrypted in your browser, it does not linger in an inbox or chat history where it could be found later. Send the link over a different channel from any password for the best security.
