privnote-cli

the power of privnote.com in your terminal

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

Privnote allows you to create one-time-pad encrypted, burn-after-reading notes over the internet. It's a great way to share passwords or other sensitive peices of information. But, you have to use a web browser! Or, should I say, had to.

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
