Free Privacy Tools
Small, focused tools that do their work in your browser - not on a server. No account, no ads, no trackers, no upload.
Online Notepad
A rich text scratchpad that saves as you type - the same editor the Snoq app runs. Your text stays in your browser's own storage and is never sent anywhere.
Open the notepad →AES Text Encryption
Encrypt any text with a passphrase using AES-256-GCM, and decrypt it back. Runs on your device with the browser's own crypto engine.
Encrypt some text →Secret Note
Turn a note into a one-time link. It is encrypted before it leaves your browser and destroyed the moment it is read.
Create a secret note →Why these tools work differently
Most free web tools of this kind are advertising businesses. Your text is posted to a server, the page carries a stack of third-party trackers, and a consent banner appears because it has to.
These three do the actual work in your browser using the Web Crypto API and local browser storage. The notepad and the encryption tool never transmit what you type. The secret note does upload something - but it encrypts first, and keeps the key in the part of the link browsers never send to a server, so what arrives here is a blob we cannot open.
We build Snoq, an encrypted notes app for Windows, so this is the neighbourhood we already live in. The tools are free and have no upsell attached - use them and ignore the rest of the site if you like.
Need something more permanent?
These tools are for quick jobs. Snoq is the desktop version of the same idea: a Windows notes app that keeps everything in an AES-256 encrypted database on your own disk, with Argon2id key derivation, no account, no cloud and no telemetry. It is free.
