Share passwords, text, files & URLs securely with self-deleting links and full audit logs.
Password Pusher is an open source web app for sharing sensitive information safely. You push a password, note, file, or URL; the recipient gets a one-time link that expires after a set number of views and/or time. No more sending secrets over chat or email—everything is encrypted, auditable, and can self-destruct.
Use the hosted service or run your own instance with Docker in minutes.
| 🔒 Secure by default | Encrypted storage, optional passphrase, expiry by views and/or time. Sensitive data is removed entirely once expired. |
| 📋 Full audit trail | See when links were created, viewed, and by whom (with logins). |
| 🏠 Self-host or use hosted | Use pwpush.com or deploy your own—Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, or cloud. |
| 🌐 Ready for teams | 31 languages, light/dark theme, JSON API, CLI, and many integrations. |
- Encrypted at rest — Sensitive data is stored encrypted and deleted when expired.
- Expiry controls — Limit by number of views and/or time; links can require a passphrase.
- Audit logging — Track what was shared and who viewed it (with optional logins).
- Unbranded delivery page — No logos, superfluous text or unrelated links to confuse push recipients.
- One-command deploy — Docker Compose with automatic SSL/TLS
- Database or ephemeral — Use a database for persistence or run stateless.
- Admin dashboard — Manage your instance from a built-in admin UI.
- White-label — Custom theme, logo, site name, and 26 Bootswatch themes via env vars.
- Custom CSS — Add your own styles; light/dark follows system preference.
- JSON API — Integrate with scripts,
curl,wget, or third-party tools. - CLI — Automate distribution with CLI tools and scripts.
- 31 languages — UI and secret-URL pages in 31 languages (courtesy of Translation.io).
- Open source — Apache 2.0; no black box. Written and maintained by myself and the team at Apnotic with the help of contributors.
- 14+ years in production — Used to deliver millions of secrets; actively maintained.
- Trusted worldwide — Used by thousands of companies around the globe.
