The story
About Secretlink.life
What is this?
Secretlink.life is a social network for things you'd never post anywhere else. Every message vanishes after one read. Every link burns. No screenshots, no screen recording, no re-sharing. Just you, one person, one moment.
How it works
- 01Your message is encrypted on your device with XChaCha20-Poly1305
- 02The encrypted blob is stored with a self-destruct timer
- 03A unique link is generated - that's the only way to access it
- 04The recipient holds to reveal - once released, it's gone forever
- 05The server never sees your plaintext
Privacy - honest version
No software can make a perfectly secret message on a general-purpose device. The user with the screen always wins. What we can do is raise the cost of capture from "tap a button" to "borrow a second phone and aim a camera" - which deters ~99% of casual leaks.
Capture-resistant, not capture-proof. We say so plainly because honesty is the foundation of trust.
Safety
- Secrets self-destruct after viewing - nothing persists

- One-tap reporting for inappropriate content
