Secure sharing and persistent AI memory
Pastepile is not another pastebin. It is infrastructure for two jobs: giving AI assistants memory that survives the session, and moving sensitive text between people without a server that can read it. Everything below is what that means in practice.
Persistent memory for AI assistants
FreeAn MCP server that lets Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, and any MCP client save and reload knowledge by URL.
- Why it exists
- Assistants forget everything between sessions. Anything worth keeping has to live somewhere addressable, or you re-explain your architecture every morning.
- When you need it
- Your assistant produced a migration plan, a decision record, or a debugging trail you will need next week.
End-to-end encrypted pastes
FreeAES-256-GCM in your browser. The key lives in the link fragment, which browsers never send to a server.
- Why it exists
- Ordinary pastebins can read everything you paste. Here the server stores ciphertext and holds no key, so a breach or a subpoena yields nothing readable.
- When you need it
- Sharing a config, a log with customer data, or anything you would not want sitting in plaintext on someone else's database.
Encrypted drop boxes
ProA link anyone can send you something through. Submissions are sealed to your public key in the sender's browser.
- Why it exists
- Asking someone to email you a credential or a log means it lands in two mailboxes forever. A drop box means only you can ever read it.
- When you need it
- Collecting incident logs from a customer, credentials from a contractor, or a report from someone who should stay anonymous.
Dead-man's switch
ProContent that is released to a chosen recipient if you stop checking in.
- Why it exists
- Some knowledge should survive you being unavailable, without handing it over while you are fine.
- When you need it
- Recovery keys, on-call runbooks, or instructions that matter only if you are unreachable.
Threshold pastes
ProSplit a paste's key into N shares where any K of them reconstruct it. Fewer than K reveal nothing at all.
- Why it exists
- Some secrets should not be unlockable by one person acting alone, including you.
- When you need it
- Break-glass production credentials, or a key that should need two of your three founders present.
Piles
FreeA named, ordered collection of pastes behind one link, up to 50.
- Why it exists
- Sending seven links is how context gets lost. One link keeps a set together and in order.
- When you need it
- An incident bundle, a runbook set, or the snippets for one lesson.
What Pro is for
The pastebin is free forever, and so is MCP memory. Pro pays for the capabilities that cost us to hold: permanent retention for assistant memory, higher API limits and 25 MB pastes, and the workflows above that keep receiving on your behalf while you are not there.
