Encrypted Share Links Both
Encrypted Share Links allow you to share read-only snapshots of specific tasks or project checklists with anyone—even if they do not have a TapTidy account—using zero-knowledge client-side encryption.
How Zero-Knowledge Sharing Works
1. Encrypt on Device
Your browser encrypts task details with a random AES-GCM key
→
2. Server Stores Ciphertext
Server hosts encrypted payload without knowing the key
→
3. Fragment Decryption
Key lives in URL hash fragment (
#key), decrypted client-sideBecause the decryption key resides in the URL hash fragment (e.g. https://taptidy.app/share/encrypted/token#encryptionKey), web browsers never send the key to the server during HTTP requests. Only the person holding the full link can decrypt and view the content.
Creating & Managing Share Links
- Open any task or project and select Share → Create Encrypted Link.
- Copy the generated secret link and send it via your preferred messaging channel.
- You can set optional expiration dates or immediately revoke the link from the task detail panel at any time.
Pro Feature: Creating encrypted share links is included with TapTidy Pro. Anyone can view and decrypt a shared link in their web browser without an account.
