A modern pastebin for developers who care about privacy, speed, and beautiful code sharing. No account required. No tracking. No ads. Just paste.


What is PasteFox?

PasteFox is a modern code and text sharing platform. It's built for developers, teams, and anyone who needs to share snippets quickly and securely.

Unlike traditional pastebins, PasteFox offers client-side encryption, custom domains, folder organization, a full REST API, and fun reveal effects — all wrapped in a clean, fast UI powered by Next.js 16 and React 19.

Try it now: pastefox.com — paste something, get a link. That's it.
