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.
Wasn’t expecting it to be this fast. I’ve already used it five times today.
Congrats on the launch! I could see this being especially useful for sharing secrets with remote team members. One thing you could consider adding is the ability for CI/CD platforms like GitHub Actions or automation frameworks like Ansible to access the encrypted secrets. Looking forward to see how you continue to develop this product!
This sounds like a sleek and secure way to share sensitive info without the usual hassle.
Kudos on bringing DataSafe to life! 🥳 In an era where data privacy is paramount, having a lightweight tool that allows for quick, AES-encrypted messaging is invaluable. Great work!
Congrats on the launch, Jacob! DataSafe addresses a critical need for secure communication. Excited to see how it simplifies sharing sensitive info.
