Usage
From OpenClaw

pbpaste | fadnote # macOS clipboard
Output: Single line with the shareable URL.
Triggers
I (OpenClaw) will automatically use the FadNote skill when you say any of:
- "Secure this [content]"
- "FadNote this [content]"
- "Create a secure link for [content]"
- "Share this securely: [content]"
- "One-time note: [content]"
- "Encrypt and share [content]"
With email delivery (if email skill is present):
- "Secure this and email to [recipient]: [content]"
- "FadNote this to [email]"
- "Send secure note to [email]"
Examples:
- Secure this API key: sk-live-12345
- FadNote this password for the server
- Create a secure link for these credentials
- Share this securely: my private SSH key
- One-time note: the meeting location
Security
- Client-side encryption — AES-256-GCM with PBKDF2 (100k iterations)
- Zero knowledge — Server receives only encrypted blobs
- One-time read — Note deleted immediately after first fetch
- Auto-expire — Default 24 hour TTL
- 🔓 Open Source — Server code is publicly auditable at https://github.com/easyFloyd/fadnote
The decryption key is embedded in the URL fragment (#key) and never sent to the server.
