Temporary text sharing

Text that expires on its own.

Paste a note, link, or message. Get a 4-character code, share it, and let the text delete itself when the timer runs out — no account, no lingering copy.

What temporary text sharing is

Temporary text sharing is a way to pass a message that only needs to exist for a short time. Instead of sending it through a channel that keeps it forever — an email thread, a chat history, a document — you create a note with a built-in expiration.

This is handy for sharing a temporary link, a Wi-Fi password, a meeting address, or any detail you'd rather not leave permanently in someone else's inbox or chat.

How Khamli works

  1. Type or paste your text (up to 5,000 characters).
  2. Choose an expiry — 30 minutes to 24 hours.
  3. Send. Khamli generates a unique 4-character code.
  4. Share the code with the recipient.
  5. The recipient enters the code to read the text before it expires.
  6. After the timer ends, the text and code are permanently deleted.

Why choose temporary over permanent

  • No cleanup. Expiry happens automatically — you never have to go back and delete.
  • No record. Once the timer ends, there is no archived copy of the message.
  • No account. Neither you nor the recipient signs up for anything.

A note on privacy

Text is encrypted in transit over HTTPS (TLS) and stored in a Neon PostgreSQL database until its expiry, when it is hard-deleted. Khamli does not use client-side end-to-end encryption, and anyone with the code during the expiry window can read the text — so keep the code private and avoid sending sensitive credentials.

Frequently asked questions

What is temporary text sharing?

It is sharing a message or note that only exists for a short, fixed window. After the chosen expiry passes, the text is automatically and permanently deleted.

How long can temporary text last?

On Khamli you choose 30 minutes (default), 2 hours, 12 hours, or 24 hours. Once the timer ends, the message and its 4-character code are hard-deleted.

What is the character limit?

Messages can be up to 5,000 characters — enough for a note, a link, a code snippet, or a short explanation.

Do I need an account to share temporary text?

No. There is no signup or login. Type your text, get a code, and share it. The recipient needs no account either.

Is temporary text the same as a self-destructing message?

Effectively yes — the message deletes itself when its timer runs out. On Khamli the deletion is time-based, not burn-after-first-read.
