Drop

Seal a note to someone's key. Paste it anywhere — text, email, chat. Only their key can open it. We never see it.

Your key

You need a key to receive and open Drops. It's generated here, in your browser — nothing is sent.

What people use it for
Meet someone new
Swap keys once — then send notes only they can open. No shared password, no account.
Move a secret across your devices→ dev-auth
Send a password or config from Windows to Mac to Android — cross-platform — instead of pasting it into chat or emailing it to yourself. Everyday project work.
Private to you (spy mode)
Seal a note only your key opens — passwords, recovery codes, a journal. Server-blind, big-brother-proof. Sealing to yourself is the point, not paranoia.
Set up a new machine→ dev-auth
Drop your SSH key onto a fresh box to log in.
Bootstrap a secret→ dev-auth
Get the first password or credential onto a system that trusts nothing yet.
Confirm a meeting
Seal a time and place — or a map pin — to the person you're meeting.
Hand off a service→ dev-auth
A signup link and its credential, as one thing you paste.

The setup cases (→ dev-auth) overlap Developer auth (wedge 6) on purpose — Drop deliversthe key or secret; dev-auth is what your identity does once it's there. One primitive: seal to a key, open with a key.

This is the demo. The app is where it's just done.

Get Gong for iPhone, iPad & Mac — AirDrop a Drop ID in person, send a secret or a link straight to a friend's device, and let your Contacts be your targets. No email, no text, no USB.

The note is sealed to the recipient's key with ECIES (P-256 ECDH → HKDF → AES-256-GCM), the same primitive that splits your identity. Gong never carries the blob and never holds the key — it's server-blind on content by construction.
