CLUSTER DESTRUCTING-ENCRYPTED-SELF · 21 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-08-01

Encrypted ephemeral sharing apps

Cluster of web apps for sharing encrypted notes, files, and secrets via links that expire or self-destruct after a set number of views or time. Dated entries begin with two in September 2020, then a single in June 2024, and a few scattered singles through late 2025, indicating an early start with sporadic later additions. Traction is led by filebeam (6 stars), followed by obscura (3 stars) and pastebox (0 stars).

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
