Introduction

Enclosed is a minimalistic web application designed for sending private and secure notes.

All notes are end-to-end encrypted, ensuring that the server and storage have zero knowledge of the content. Users can set a password, define an expiration period (TTL), and choose to have the note self-destruct after being read.

A live instance is available at enclosed.cc.

Features

• End-to-End Encryption: Your notes are encrypted on the client side, using AES-GCM with a 256-bit key derived using PBKDF2.
• File Attachments: Share files securely with your notes.
• Zero Knowledge: The server does not have access to the content of the notes or files.
• Configurable Security Options: Set a password, expiration time, and choose self-destruction after the note is read.
• Minimalistic UI: Simple and intuitive user interface for quick note sharing.
• i18n Support: Available in multiple languages.
• Authentication: Optional email/password authentication to create notes.
• Dark Mode: A dark theme for late-night note sharing.
• Responsive Design: Works on all devices, from desktops to mobile phones.
• Open Source: The source code is available under the Apache 2.0 License.
• Self-Hostable: Run your instance of Enclosed for private note sharing.
• CLI: A command-line interface for creating notes from the terminal.
• Very low environmental impact: the app and the docs is rated A+ on websitecarbon.com (see here and here).
