Pastepile — self-destructing pastes
With Pastepile, share a one-time secret that disappears the moment it is read, or set an expiry so it disappears on its own.
Burn-after-read
Mark a paste as burn-after-read at creation time. The first GET that successfully returns the content also deletes it server-side. A second request returns nothing - the row is gone.
Good for one-time credential handoff, recovery codes, or anything you want gone the moment the recipient has seen it.
Time-based expiry
Prefer "delete in an hour" or "delete in a week"? Pick an expiry when you create the paste. After that timestamp the paste is removed and the link 404s.
Stack it with encryption
Combine burn-after-read with an end-to-end encrypted paste: the server never sees the plaintext, and the ciphertext disappears after the first read.
