Why Secure Your Information Distribution?

Traditional communication tools create permanent digital footprints that can be exploited years later. Here's why you need a better approach.

The Hidden Dangers

Keep sensitive information and documents out of:

  • Slack, Asana, Notion and other Tools - Team collaboration platforms that maintain permanent logs
  • WhatsApp, Signal & Telegram and other chat applications - Messaging apps with persistent message history
  • Email logs - Corporate email systems that archive everything indefinitely

The Long-Term Risk

These systems can maintain logs and history for years. If accessed by malicious entities, your accounts and sensitive information can be breached years later without you knowing the source or cause.

The Password Pusher Solution

Password Pusher sidesteps all of this by creating:

  • Self-destructing shareable links that auto-expire after a preset number of views
  • Time-based expiration that automatically deletes content after a set duration
  • Zero permanent storage - once expired, the information is completely removed
  • Full audit trails so you know exactly who accessed what and when

Key Security Benefits

No permanent storage means no long-term exposure risk

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Apnotic do?

Apnotic is a cybersecurity software company that builds and maintains Password Pusher, a secure sharing tool for passwords, files, and sensitive information. Apnotic operates the hosted service at pwpush.com, develops the open source core and Pro editions, and provides enterprise support.

What is Password Pusher?

Password Pusher is a secure sharing tool that creates self-destructing, encrypted links for passwords, API keys, files, and other sensitive information. Links auto-expire after a configurable number of views or time period, and every access is logged for audit. It is used by IT teams, MSPs, DevOps engineers, and compliance-sensitive organizations worldwide.

Is Password Pusher open source?

Yes. The security-critical code — encryption, data handling, expiry logic, and audit logging — is fully open source on GitHub. Pro features like team management, branding, and security policies are closed source, but the entire security path is auditable. Pro features are periodically released to the open source edition through the Feature Pipeline.

How does Apnotic make money?

Apnotic is customer-funded through paid subscriptions to the hosted service at pwpush.com (Solo, Team, and Organization plans) and Self-Hosted Pro license sales (Starter, Advanced, and Enterprise tiers). Apnotic has zero debt and no venture capital. Every subscription directly supports ongoing development of the open source project.

Where is data stored?

The hosted service offers EU (Netherlands) and US data regions. Push payload data is processed solely within the chosen region and never transferred outside it. All data is encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM and in transit with TLS 1.2+. Self-hosted customers control their own infrastructure, encryption keys, and data residency entirely.

How do I contact Apnotic?

Email support@apnotic.com for general inquiries and technical support. Organization subscribers get direct access to the founder. Response times are typically within one business day. For partnership inquiries, visit the Partner Program page.
