Questions

How strong is it?

AES-256-GCM, with the key made from your password by PBKDF2 (310,000 rounds). A long password of 4 or more random words is the real protection.

I forgot the password. Can you open it?

No one can. There is no back door and nothing is stored on our side.

Is my data private?

Yes. Everything happens inside your own browser: nothing you type or choose is uploaded to us or anyone else.

Is it free?

Completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many times you use it. Light ads keep the site running.
