PrivacyProtect

End-to-end encryption without special software or accounts; only native web browser crypto APIs.

Website | Launch Blog

Share passwords and sensitive files over email or store them in insecure locations like cloud drives using nothing more than desktop or mobile web browsers like Chrome and Safari.

No special software. No need to create an account. It’s free, open-source, keeps your private data a secret, and leaves you alone.
