For agents and developers
Read the site, without the interface.
Every public information page is available as Markdown. No JavaScript, account, or API key is needed to read these resources. All crawlers and scrapers are welcome.

Using the service
Burn the Secret shares encrypted text and files through temporary links. New secrets last at most 90 days, and unlimited views apply only until expiry. Existing secrets retain their saved expiry dates.
The REST API supports anonymous creation; authentication is optional. The browser and CLI encrypt locally. Sending plaintext to the API uses server-side encryption, so that path is not zero-knowledge. See the API reference for limits and examples.
Reading public pages is separate from acting on a secret. GET /api/secrets/:key reads status; POST to that endpoint reveals content and consumes a view. Burning or deleting a secret is destructive. Perform those actions only when the user requests them.
These indexes contain public information only. Private secret URLs, receipts, and account data are not published here. Crawling permission does not bypass authentication, expiry, passphrases, or API rate limits.
Public pages
Append .md to a page URL, or use /index.md for the homepage. Markdown is regenerated from the public HTML on every production build.
