Email keeps everything. Chat apps keep history. Even the encrypted ones store a copy on every device that opened the conversation. So the bank details, the password, the ID document or the awkward HR note end up sitting in an inbox for years, long after anyone meant it to.
A secure message doesn't stay anywhere. It's encrypted in your browser before it leaves, so Cybermate can't read it, and it destroys itself after it's opened once or after a set time passes. No copy, no backup, no trace.

Everything below happens before the message ever leaves the sender's browser.
Type the sensitive details straight into the form, no account needed to send.
PNG, JPEG, PDF or Word. Up to 5 files, 10MB total.
Destroy after it's opened once, after a set time, or after 7 days by default if nobody opens it.
Optional but recommended. Password plus confirm password before the link works.
Tick "Email me when it's destroyed" to know the moment it's gone.
A one-time or time-limited link. The recipient doesn't need a Cybermate account.
Encrypted on the sender's device before it's sent. Cybermate never sees the message, attachments or password.
Encrypted in the browser before it's sent. No copy is kept, by Cybermate or anyone else.
The short answer: nowhere it can be found later. Here's the full path from "send" to "gone".
Message and attachments are encrypted on your device.
A one-time or time-limited link is generated.
Nothing readable sits on Cybermate's servers.
Opened once, or time's up. Either way, it's gone.
Choose how long a message lives before it disappears for good.
Written, attached, optionally password-protected.
Sent however suits, email, SMS, chat.
Destroyed the moment it's read, or when the timer (7 days by default) runs out.
Not on the recipient's device, not on Cybermate's servers.
For contracts, IDs, bank details and HR files.
Up to 5 files and 10MB total, PNG, JPEG, PDF or Word. Every file is encrypted in the browser alongside the message, travels as part of the same secure link, and is destroyed with it. Attachments are never stored on Cybermate's servers, not even briefly.
Files travel inside the same encrypted link as the message, and disappear with it.
Same information, three very different trails left behind.
