What is privatext?

Hi, I'm Davis, I'm the creator of Privatext. I'm a software developer and I created Privatext as a fun project to learn more about cryptography and web development.'

Privatext is a free web application that allows you to send private text messages that are automatically deleted after being read.

The messages are encrypted and decrypted in the browser, so the server never sees the unencrypted message. The server only stores the encrypted message and a partial decryption key.

The other partial of the decryption key is sent to the recipient in the URL, so the recipient can decrypt the message in their browser.

Once the message is read, it is automatically deleted from the server. The server never stores an unencrypted message or a full decryption key, so there is no way to recover the message once it has been read.
