🦀 DELE.TO CLI 🦀

Share secrets that disappear — directly from your terminal.

Website · API keys · DELE.TO on GitHub

The official command-line client for DELE.TO. It encrypts secrets locally, uploads only an opaque encrypted payload, and returns a link that expires after a chosen time or number of views.

_{Run deleto to open the TUI. Click the image for the interactive demo.}

macOS and Linux

curl -fsSL https://dele.to/install.sh | sh

Windows PowerShell

irm https://dele.to/install.ps1 | iex

Or build from source with Rust:

cargo install --path . --locked

# Open the interactive TUI
deleto

# Share text
deleto 'the launch code is 1234'

# Pipe from another command
printf '%s' "$DATABASE_URL" | deleto

# Share a file with custom limits
deleto --file .env --expires 15m --views 1

# Decrypt a share in the terminal
deleto view 'https://dele.to/view/<id>#<fragment>'

# Include expiry and the private delete capability
deleto --receipt 'temporary credential'

Run deleto --help for every command and option.

• Secrets are encrypted on your machine with AES-256-GCM.
• The root secret stays in the URL fragment (#...), which is not sent to the server.
• The API receives an opaque encrypted payload plus expiry and view-limit metadata — never your plaintext.
• Shares automatically expire and can be limited to a single view.
• A private delete capability lets the creator revoke a share early.

The complete share URL is sensitive: anyone who has it can open the share while it remains available.

DELE.TO CLI sends anonymous product analytics by default to help improve the installer and CLI. Analytics are optional and do not include secret contents, file contents, share URLs, API keys, or capabilities.

CLI events can include the command outcome, input type, content length, expiry, view limit, OS, CLI version, and a randomly generated anonymous ID stored at ~/.deleto/anonymous-id. Installer events can include the OS, architecture, downloaded asset, and install stage.

Disable analytics at any time:

export DELETO_NO_ANALYTICS=1

For a single command:

DELETO_NO_ANALYTICS=1 deleto 'secret'

The installers also respect DELETO_NO_ANALYTICS, DATABUDDY_DISABLED, and DO_NOT_TRACK.

Create an API key at dele.to/developers, or point the CLI at an isolated Deleto Cloud instance with DELETO_API_URL.
