## Description

stop deleting notes

you write a quick thought in notes. a password. a flight number. a grocery list. a vent. then it sits there forever because you never go back to delete it. burner notes fixes that. write it, set a timer, and it's gone when you're done with it

every note has a self-destruct countdown. when time runs out, it's permanently deleted from your device. no cloud. no account. no way to get it back. that's the point

how it works

write a note. pick a timer: 1 minute, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, 1 day, or set a custom duration down to the minute. a live countdown appears on your lock screen and dynamic island. when the timer hits zero, it's gone. or burn it early

no drafts. no archive. no undo

destruction rituals

when a note burns, it doesn't just disappear. it's destroyed with a full visual and haptic experience. each ritual is designed for a different feeling

• classic burn - fire rises from below, words char to glowing embers, ash scatters
• shredder - words split into strips and fall like paper scraps
• deep sea - letters fade to ocean blue and drift upward as bubbles
• black hole - text shrinks into a singularity. the void doesn't give things back
• dissolve - acid eats through your words, letters corrode and drip away
• avalanche - boulders fall. text crushes flat. dust settles

whisper: device-to-device notes

send a self-destructing note to someone nearby. no server. no cloud. no login. just encrypted peer-to-peer over bluetooth and wi-fi. they read it, it burns

live everywhere

• live activity countdown on your lock screen and dynamic island
• home screen widget shows your soonest-expiring note

make it yours

• 5 extra destruction rituals with unique animations
• 5 burn sounds: none, fire, whoosh, crumple, glitch
• 4 vibration styles: standard, strong, double tap, pulse
• 6 color themes: orange, white, red, cyan, green, purple
• attach photos that burn with the note
• recurring notes that auto-recreate on the same timer
• scheduled notes with a future start time

privacy is the architecture

• zero data leaves your phone. ever
• no account. no email. no sign-up
• no analytics. no tracking. no telemetry
• notes are permanently deleted when burned
• app switcher shows a privacy screen
• lock screen content is redacted when locked
