How to Use Our Anonymous Notes Website
ViewAndBurn is a free website where you write anonymous notes and share them with one simple link. You type your message, press one button, and get a private link. When the other person opens that link, the note shows one time and then it is gone. This guide explains every step in easy words, so anyone can use this anonymous note website in about a minute.
Step One: Write Your Secret Message
Start with the box at the top of this page. Type your words inside it. You can write a password, a thank you, an honest opinion, or a secret for a close friend. This anonymous note app runs in your web browser, so there is nothing to download or install. As a guest you do not need to give a name or an email. That makes it an easy website where you can write anonymous notes without signing up first.
Step Two: Your Browser Locks the Note
Before your message leaves your device, your browser locks it with a secret key. Only the locked version is sent to our server. The key stays inside your link, in the part after the # sign, and that part is never sent to us. This is why a self destruct note created as a guest stays private, even from the team that runs the site. When you are logged in, we keep the key of each note locked on our server, so you can copy the link again from your dashboard.
Step Three: Share Your Burn Link
After you press the button, you get a burn link. Copy the whole link, including everything after the # sign, and send it to the person you trust. You can use a text message, a chat app, or an email. To write a note to someone quickly, send only the link and nothing else. If the end of the link is cut off, the note cannot be opened, so check the link before you send it.
Step Four: Your Friend Reads It Once
Your friend opens the link and sees a button called Reveal and Burn Note. When they press it, the message appears on the screen and the stored copy is deleted right away. This is how a self destructing message website keeps a secret safe. Reading is possible only one time. A second visit shows a page that says the note does not exist.
Good Ways to Use Anonymous Notes
People use anonymous notes to share passwords, give honest feedback at work, plan a surprise, or say something private to family. Because the note is deleted after reading, there is no old message waiting in a chat history or an inbox. Many people also like self destructing notes because they feel calm knowing nothing stays behind.
Tips to Stay Safe
Send the link only to the right person. Anyone who has the full link can open the note first, so never post it in a public place. Remember that a reader can still copy the words or take a screenshot. If you send a password, change it after your friend has used it. These small habits make every note you send safer.
