Keevala Drop: a Privnote alternative with files
Privnote made the self-destructing note famous: paste text, get a link, and the note is destroyed after it is read. The encryption key lives in the link fragment, so Privnote cannot read your note — a design Keevala Drop shares.
A Privnote alternative makes sense when you want that same burn-after-reading model plus file support, longer expiry choices, and account plans that raise your limits as your team grows.

Why use a Privnote alternative?
Privnote is great for a quick anonymous note, but it stops there: no files, no account to raise limits, and a single product with no ecosystem around it.
Keevala Drop uses the same key-in-fragment encryption model — so neither service can read your content — and adds everything Privnote does not: images and files, plan-based quotas, and a dashboard that also manages your short links and QR codes.
- Same browser-side encryption model as Privnote
- Files and images, not just text
- Choose your expiry: 10 minutes, 1 hour, or 24 hours
- Plan quotas from 3 guest drops a day to 2,500 a month
Keevala Drop vs Privnote: encryption compared
Privnote generates the decryption key inside the link, so the server that stores the ciphertext never sees the key. Keevala Drop works the same way: AES-256-GCM encryption happens in your browser, and the 256-bit key is only in the fragment you share.
The practical difference is scope. Privnote is a single-purpose notes service. Keevala Drop is part of a link platform, so your drops, short links, QR codes, and click analytics live in one account.
Drop limits on every plan
Guests get 3 drops a day with no account at all. Free accounts get 25 drops a month, Pro gets 250, and Enterprise gets 2,500 — the same plans that cover your links, custom domains, and analytics.
1. Seal it
Encrypt a password, note, or file with AES-256 in your browser.
2. Share the link
The key travels only in the link fragment — Keevala never sees it.
3. It burns
Opened once, then permanently deleted. Nothing left to leak.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best free Privnote alternative?
Keevala Drop is a strong free Privnote alternative: 3 guest drops a day with no account, 25 a month on a free account, and the same key-in-fragment encryption model — plus file support, which Privnote lacks.
Does Keevala Drop really destroy notes after one read?
Yes. The first open delivers the content, then the relay permanently deletes the ciphertext. Reopening the link shows "Nothing left to open", and burned drops cannot be restored by anyone.
Can I send files with Keevala Drop?
Yes — images and files can be sealed alongside text. That is the biggest difference from Privnote, which is text-only. Files are encrypted with the same AES-256-GCM process before upload.
Can Keevala read my notes?
No. Like Privnote, the decryption key exists only in the link fragment you share. Keevala stores ciphertext it cannot decrypt and deletes it after the drop is opened or expires.
Do drops expire if nobody opens them?
Yes. You pick the lifespan when sealing — 10 minutes, 1 hour, or 24 hours on free plans; up to 7 days on Pro and 30 days on Enterprise. Unopened drops are deleted at expiry.
Send your first one-time drop
If you like Privnote but want files, expiry choice, and account plans, Keevala Drop is the Privnote alternative built on the same can-not-read-it encryption model.
