# Logpasta

> Logpasta is an anonymous, privacy-focused log paste service (pastebin-style). It
> makes sharing terminal and script output painless: pipe output through the Logpasta
> CLI, or paste it on the website, and get back a shareable link. No accounts, no
> tracking, and all paste content is permanently deleted 30 days after creation.

Key facts:

- Anonymous and free. No accounts or sign-up, no first/third-party cookies, no
  personal-data tracking. JavaScript is not required to use the site.
- Paste content automatically expires and is permanently deleted 30 days after
  creation. Maximum paste size is 1MB.
- Each paste has a unique URL and a one-time **delete key** — a secret token shown to
  the creator once. Anyone holding the delete key can delete the paste; control is
  purely possession-based. There are no paste owners and nothing is tied to identity.
- Analytics use GoatCounter (privacy-first: no cookies, no personal data) and can be
  avoided by disabling JavaScript or blocking goatcounter.com / zgo.at.
- The Logpasta CLI is a separate, open-source, cross-platform command-line client that
  pipes command output to Logpasta and prints back the shareable link.
