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
- Type or paste your text (up to 5,000 characters).
- Choose an expiry — 30 minutes to 24 hours.
- Send. Khamli generates a unique 4-character code.
- Share the code with the recipient.
- The recipient enters the code to read the text before it expires.
- 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.
