About GhostUtils
Private utilities for things that should not live forever.
GhostUtils is a suite of small, anonymous tools for sharing sensitive notes, code, files, votes, inboxes, and group secrets without creating an account.
Why we built this
Most private workflows are small: send a password, share a code fragment, collect a quick anonymous vote, receive one verification email, or let a group reveal answers at the same time. Those jobs should not require a workspace, a user profile, or another permanent SaaS account.
GhostUtils keeps each job narrow. Open the tool, create the thing, share the link, and let the expiry rule remove it when it is no longer useful.
What is live now
- GhostNoteEncrypted notes with optional passwords, expiry windows, and burn-after-read.
- GhostPastePrivate text and code sharing with syntax highlighting, passwords, and automatic expiry.
- GhostDropTemporary file drops for up to five files, 50MB each, with optional password and burn-after-download.
- GhostPollAnonymous polls with one vote per person, optional password protection, and live results.
- GhostMailDisposable inboxes for signups, test flows, and one-off email receive tasks.
- GhostPactGroup secret commits where every participant locks in privately before anything is revealed.
How the privacy model works
GhostUtils asks for the minimum information needed to complete the task. There are no user accounts or marketing profiles. Google Analytics is limited to public pages; generated private links, inboxes, downloads, raw pastes, poll results, and pact pages are excluded. Where abuse protection needs an IP signal, we hash it instead of storing the raw address.
Tools that store sensitive content use short random links, expiry timestamps, and password gates where supported. GhostNote and GhostPact content is stored with libsodium encryption. GhostDrop protects file metadata and removes files on expiry or burn-after-download.
The goal is simple: make temporary sharing useful without turning it into permanent identity infrastructure.
Who is behind this
GhostUtils is an independent project built by developers who care about practical privacy. We do not sell data, and the product is designed so there is as little account-level data as possible to collect in the first place.
