protonURL

Hey Fazier, I built protonURL from a very simple observation: people still share sensitive information through emails, SMS, chat messages, or tools that were never really designed for that. A password, a private note, a bank detail, a temporary access code, a confidential message, a file, a link… once it is sent through a classic channel, it often stays there forever. protonURL was created to solve that problem in the simplest possible way: paste your sensitive content, generate a temporary one-time link, share it, and once it has been opened, the content is destroyed. The goal was not to build another heavy productivity platform, but a small, fast, privacy-first tool that anyone can use without creating an account. The core experience is intentionally minimal: no tracking, no ads, no Google Analytics, no unnecessary friction, and no content kept after reading or expiration. Behind the simplicity, I wanted protonURL to remain serious technically: encrypted storage, custom private passphrase support, adjustable link lifetime, public cryptographic deletion proof, multilingual interface, strong security headers, lightweight architecture, and a very low environmental footprint. I see protonURL as a discreet utility that people should keep in their bookmarks — the kind of tool you may not need every day, but when you do, you are glad it exists. I would love to hear feedback from makers, developers, privacy-conscious users, and anyone who has ever thought: “I really should not send this sensitive info by email.”
