privnote-cli

the power of privnote.com in your terminal

privnote.com: Send notes that will self-destruct after being read.

Privnote.com allows you to create encrypted, burn-after-reading notes over the internet. privnote-cli allows you generate privnote links at the commandline. After you create a note, send the link to your intended recipient to open in a browser.

Installation

npm install -g privnote-cli
# don't forget to `nodenv rehash` if you're using nodenv

Usage

You bring the plaintext; privnote will print the link to stdout and the clipboard.

Type directly into stdin a la gpg. (Recommended)

$ privnote
bob,
the narwhal bacons at midnight.
-- alice
^D
https://privnote.com/n/abcdefghijklmnop/#qrstuvwxyz123456

Pipe the output of a command to privnote.

Be sure to clear your shell history ($HISTFILE) if you included secrets in your command.

$ ruby -e 'require "securerandom"; print "#{SecureRandom.urlsafe_base64(12)}\n";' | privnote
https://privnote.com/n/abcdefghijklmnop/#qrstuvwxyz123456

Privnote files directly via input redirection.

$ privnote < secrets.txt
https://privnote.com/n/abcdefghijklmnop/#qrstuvwxyz123456
