Description

PrivateBin is an open-source, minimalist pastebin where the server has zero knowledge of the data you paste. Content is encrypted and decrypted in the browser using AES-256, and the decryption key lives only in the URL fragment, so the server never sees your plaintext. You can set expiration times, enable burn-after-reading, password-protect pastes, and allow encrypted discussions. It is trivial to self-host and is a privacy-respecting alternative to Pastebin and pastebin features in chat tools.
