About OpenKeepr

OpenKeepr is an open-source, self-hostable tool for sharing secrets one-time and securely. Messages are encrypted in your browser before they leave your device — the server cannot read them, and neither can the operator.

How it works

  1. Your browser generates a random 256-bit key and encrypts the message with AES-256-GCM.
  2. The ciphertext is uploaded; the key stays in the URL fragment (the part after #), which is never sent to the server.
  3. Recipients decrypt the message in their browser. Once the configured limits are reached, the ciphertext is deleted.

What we never see

  • Your message content
  • The decryption key
  • Plaintext recipient e-mail addresses (we only store keyed hashes)
