A tiny app to quickly send encrypted messages with a hotkey
A tiny Windows app to quickly send encrypted messages with a hotkey. It creates one-time, AES-encrypted messages from your clipboard and gives you a temporary link to share. No signups, no tracking – just fast and secure sharing.
Hey everyone 👋
I’ve been working on a small side project to solve a real-world annoyance: securely sharing sensitive information like passwords, tokens or secrets – without using email, chat, or cloud drives.
DataSafe is a tiny Windows app written in C++. It lets you create one-time, AES-encrypted messages with a simple hotkey. Once you hit the shortcut, whatever you copied to your clipboard appears in the app – ready to encrypt and share.
The app uploads the encrypted data to a temporary server and gives you a link. That's it – just paste it wherever you want.
No accounts, no fluff, no noise. Just secure, vanishing messages.
Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback 🙏
PS. This is the free version – the Pro version (coming soon) will support encrypted file sharing and self-hosting.
