Feature walkthroughs and product news.

Push notifications

You asked and we listened. Business subscriptions are here and allow for unlimited users, which means you can now give your whole company premium access for one low monthly price. You no longer need to guess how many users you will need for a subscription.

Company branded notes

We're excited to announce the general availability of one of our most requested features, company branded notes. Add your company logo to your notes and remove all NoteShred branding, messaging and UI. Company branded notes have a different theme to the main site and are styled in a clean and clear format for business use.

Shared subscription notes

We are often asked how to see activity information for other people in the same organisation. Groups had been the only way to do this, although groups are optional and it is easy to forget to add a note to a group. So we built a feature that improves visibility and collaboration by letting you see the notes and activity feeds of everyone on the same subscription automatically.

Information requests

Requests let you receive information from someone without the need for them to have a NoteShred account. Think of it like creating a blank note and asking someone else to fill it in for you — for example, when you need a customer's login details but they don't have a NoteShred account.

Password hints

Password hints allow you to include a question, phrase or hint with the notification email that you send to your users, helping them access the note without a second email or message containing the note password. Create a note, email the user and provide them with information to access the note, all in a single step.

Shortened URLs

We have recently purchased the domain shred.io and are now using it for URL shortening. Any new notes include a shorter style of link that looks like shred.io/a6fc6257 — a much cleaner look that makes it easier to paste links into emails.

Client side encryption

Client side encryption is an optional second layer of encryption with one important difference: the encryption is performed locally, within your browser, and the private key is never transmitted to the server. Your note is converted to an encrypted string within your browser and sent up to the server, after which the string is encrypted all over again using the regular NoteShred AES-256 encryption.
