Every saved object has a visible lifetime, explicit delete action and bounded local storage ceiling. Expired objects are purged automatically when VAULT opens.
Keep it here.
Not forever.
VAULT is intentional browser-local workspace for objects you need again after this tab or session. Every item has an expiry. Protected items encrypt both bytes and private metadata before IndexedDB storage; nothing is uploaded.
Open VAULT →VAULT v1 has no “forever” mode. You can extend an item explicitly later.
Protected mode encrypts stored data at rest. It does not protect a passphrase typed into an already compromised page, browser profile or operating system.
Working set with an exit date.
Expired records are removed automatically when VAULT opens. Browser storage can still be cleared by the browser, profile cleanup or the user.
No stored objects.
Use VAULT directly or send an output here through HANDOFF.
Protected entries use PBKDF2-SHA-256 and AES-256-GCM with random salt/IVs. The passphrase is never stored. Losing it means losing access.
VAULT stores the original SHA-256 inside the entry metadata and verifies the restored file before download or routing.
Encryption protects stored data at rest. It cannot protect a passphrase typed into an already compromised page, browser profile or operating system.
