Keep your sensitive information out of chat logs, emails, and more with encrypted secrets.

hemmelig

Free encrypted secret sharing for everyone!

This application is to be used to share encrypted secrets cross organizations, or as private persons. Hemmelig truly cares about your privacy, and will do everything to stay that way. I hope you enjoy the product.

Hemmelig is available at https://hemmelig.app

How it works

You enter https://hemmelig.app, write your sensitive information, expire time, optional password, and click create a secret link. You share the secret link. The receiver of the link opens it, writes the optional password, and retrieves the sensitive information. When a secret link is created, it gets its unique encryption key that is not saved to the database and only will be part of the URL. This means NO ONE can decrypt your secret without the encrypt(SECRET_MASTER_KEY + YOUR_UNIQUE_ENCRYPTION_KEY), and access to the Redis instance.

Features

  • Encrypted sensitive information sharing.
  • Encrypted attachment for signed in users.
  • Optional title

  • Self-hosted version. Keywords: Regulatory compliance.
  • ~~Available as PWA, which means you can download it as an app for your device.~~

#
# $ docker run -p 6379:6379 --name some-redis -d redis
#

docker run -p 3000:3000 -d --name=hemmelig \
    -e SECRET_MASTER_KEY=11111222223333344444555556666677 \ # has to be a secret key of 32 characters
    -e SECRET_REDIS_HOST=127.0.0.1 \
    -v /var/tmp/hemmelig:/var/tmp/hemmelig/upload/files # this is how you mount a local directory if you choose to use disk upload, and not do/s3
    hemmeligapp/hemmelig:latest
