About
It all started with the idea to send private messages in a fun way. Messages that don't persist. Think Snapchat, but without giving away your user data. The idea grew into a project that could be summarized as "Sharing secrets as a service". There are similar products out there - in fact, some have been a great inspiration. However, what sets scrt.link apart is the combination of all the great ideas and concepts around security and privacy, with the attention on design and user experience. Stay tuned - there is for more come!
Philosophy
Freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and the right to privacy are among the most important civil liberties in a free society. With this project we empower you to exchange information over the internet in truly secure and private way. This product is made in a way that respects people's integrity and privacy all the way. We have no interest in you! Not in you as a person, nor in your secrets. Read more on our Privacy page.
User Accounts
The main reason we offer accounts is to prevent spam and fraud. All core features are free of charge and don't require an account.
That said, some features do require basic authentication (We just ask for an email address - we don't mind you using a temporary email address). These features include sending information via email or SMS. Accounts help us prevent abuse of the underlying systems.
Paid premium accounts are meant for power users and people who like to support this project.
Browser Extensions
To make this service easy and convenient, there are browser extensions available for all modern browsers. All addons share the same security and privacy features.
