Pastebin is popular for sharing code and text, but it stores your content in plaintext on their servers. Staff and anyone who compromises their systems can read your pastes. Pastebin also shows ads and tracks users.
TextSafe encrypts everything in your browser before upload. We physically cannot read your content, and we do not track you or show ads.
Cloud note apps are convenient but tie your data to an account that can be accessed by the provider, shared with law enforcement, or compromised through account takeover. Your notes persist indefinitely unless manually deleted.
TextSafe requires no account, cannot be tied to your identity, and automatically deletes data. Perfect for sensitive temporary information.
Sending sensitive info via email or messaging creates permanent copies on multiple servers - yours, the recipients, and backup systems. This data can surface in legal discovery, data breaches, or account compromises years later.
TextSafe creates a single encrypted copy that automatically disappears. Share the access code through any channel - even if intercepted later, the data will be gone.
PrivateBin is an excellent open-source encrypted pastebin. TextSafe offers similar zero-knowledge encryption with a focus on simplicity: memorable passcodes instead of long URLs, optional color codes for extra security, and a cleaner interface for non-technical users.
