One-Time Note

One-Time Note is a simple, secure note-sharing application that generates one-time links for notes. Once a note is viewed, the link expires, ensuring that the note can only be accessed once. This is designed to be ran on your own local server to limit who has access to this and to also store any data on your own machines.

Features

• Generate secure one-time links for notes, secrets and passwords.
• Notes are deleted after being opened, and can only be viewed once.
• Short,secure and user-friendly URLs using Base62 encoding.
