Burn Note is a website that allows users to write notes, generate a private link, which you can send to your recipient. The recipient can then use the link to read the note, which you can even protect with a password. Once the recipient reads the note, Burn Note automatically ‘burns’ the note from the Burn Note server and removes any trace of it from phones and computers.

The website also allows users to configure some options, which either enables or disables a user from copying a text. The user can also set a timer after which the note will be burned/deleted from the Internet.

Features

• Effective way for communicating privately.
• Ensure privacy by disabling copying of text and configuring deletion of note after set timer.
• Note is complete erased from the Internet and no trace is left.
• Similar tools: OneTimeMessage, SelfDestruct, Norbt, and Send.

However, if the users still don’t feel comfortable going to the link, they can preview it. Clicking on the short URL displays the complete URL of the destination page and lets users decide if they want to continue.

Users can also post comments about the link so you can get feedback. You can set your options to receive an email notification whenever somebody posts a comment on your URL. Moreover, you also gets statistics so you know how many people viewed your link. Within your VyuMe account, you can also sort all your links by date, number of views or number of comments.
