DevOps teams securely sharing credentials and access tokens among members. End-to-end encryption with AES-256-GCM performed client-side in the browser. One-time, expiring links that self-destruct after a single view or expiration time-to-live (TTL).
THE PRODUCT, BEYOND THE PITCH
Editorially reviewed · Sources checked Sep 13, 2026
A good fit for
- Founders and startups handling secrets informally while maintaining security best practices.
- Regulated organizations such as fintech and healthcare needing compliance.
Know the limitations
- Secrets can only be accessed once or until expiration; no multi-access sharing.
- Requires Slack integration; not a standalone secret sharing tool outside Slack.
What you can do
- DevOps teams securely sharing credentials and access tokens among members.
- Security engineers maintaining auditability while sharing sensitive information.
Features
- End-to-end encryption with AES-256-GCM performed client-side in the browser.
- One-time, expiring links that self-destruct after a single view or expiration time-to-live (TTL).
- Slack-first experience with native slash command (/1tl) to share secrets directly in Slack channels.
- Audit logging with instant notifications in a private Slack channel when links are created or accessed.
- Zero plaintext storage; secrets are never stored unencrypted on servers or Slack.
Integrations
- Integrates natively with Slack via slash commands and posts notifications in Slack channels.
Platforms & data export
- Browser-based client-side encryption with Slack integration; supports Slack workspaces.
- Secrets are shared as secure URLs that expire after one use or TTL; no plaintext export.

A practical workflow
- Send a secret using the /1tl command in Slack to trigger a secure one-time link.
- The link is posted instantly in the Slack channel and is valid for one view or until it expires.
- Once the link is accessed, it self-destructs with no plaintext stored or Slack history footprint.
