Encrypted notes and private links
Private Stash is a side panel for the notes and links nobody else should see, locked with one master password and encrypted on your device. No account needed, and it isn't a password manager.
Shortcut: Alt+Shift+S

How it works
Click the Private Stash icon or press Alt+Shift+S to open the side panel (a sidebar in Firefox).
Create a master password. It encrypts everything, and it can't be recovered, so keep it safe.
Write notes in Markdown and save links: the current tab, or any page or link from the right-click menu.
Lock it with Alt+Shift+L, or let it lock itself. Nothing is readable until you enter the password again.
What it does
Encrypted on your device
Every note and link is encrypted with Argon2id and AES-256-GCM before it's saved. Your master password never leaves the device.
Notes in Markdown
Headings, lists, tables and links. Notes save as you type.
Private links
Keep links in your stash instead of your bookmarks, and open them in a private window so they stay out of your history too.
Locks itself
After the inactivity time you pick, when the browser restarts and, by default, when you close the panel. Wrong passwords add a growing delay.
Find anything
Ctrl+K searches titles, notes, links and tags, and forgives typos. The search index lives in memory and is wiped on lock.
Folders, tags and pins
Sort items into folders and tags and pin the ones you need most. A deleted item can be brought back with Undo.
Not a password manager
It warns you when a note looks like a password, a card number or a recovery phrase. No autofill and no password generator, on purpose.
Encrypted backups
Download an encrypted copy of your stash at any time. A reminder appears if you haven't made one in 30 days.
Private by design
- No account and no sign-up.
- Notes and links are encrypted on your device with a key from your master password, which never leaves it.
- No analytics, no tracking and no network requests.
- No access to the pages you visit: it has no content scripts and no website permissions.
- There is no password recovery. Nobody, including us, can read your stash without your password.
