## How It Works

1. Enter your secret on [hemmelig.app](https://hemmelig.app) or your self-hosted instance
2. Set expiration time, view limits, and optional password
3. Share the generated link with your recipient
4. The secret is automatically deleted after being viewed or expired

**Zero-knowledge architecture:** All encryption happens in your browser. The server only stores encrypted data and never sees your secrets or encryption keys.

## Features

- **Client-side AES-256-GCM encryption** - Your data is encrypted before leaving your browser
- **Self-destructing secrets** - Configurable expiration and view limits
- **Password protection** - Optional additional security layer
- **IP restrictions** - Limit access to specific IP ranges
- **File uploads** - Share encrypted files (authenticated users)
- **Rich text editor** - Format your secrets with styling
- **QR codes** - Easy mobile sharing
- **Multi-language support** - Available in multiple languages
- **Webhook notifications** - Get notified when secrets are viewed or burned ([docs](docs/webhook.md))

## Quick Start

### Docker (Recommended)

```bash
docker run -d \
  --name hemmelig \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  -v hemmelig-data:/app/database \
  -v hemmelig-uploads:/app/uploads \
  -e DATABASE_URL="file:/app/database/hemmelig.db" \
  -e BETTER_AUTH_SECRET="$(openssl rand -base64 32)" \
  -e BETTER_AUTH_URL="https://your-domain.com" \
  hemmelig/hemmelig:v7
```

### Docker Compose

```bash
git clone https://github.com/HemmeligOrg/Hemmelig.app.git
cd Hemmelig.app

# Edit docker-compose.yml with your settings
docker compose up -d
```

See [Docker Guide](docs/docker.md) for detailed deployment instructions.

### CLI

Create secrets directly from the command line:

```bash
# Download the binary (recommended for CI/CD)
curl -L https://github.com/HemmeligOrg/Hemmelig.app/releases/download/cli-v1.0.1/hemmelig-linux-amd64 -o hemmelig
chmod +x hemmelig

# Or install via npm
npm install -g hemmelig

# Create a secret
hemmelig "my secret message"

# With options
hemmelig "API key: sk-1234" -t "Production API Key" -e 7d -v 3
```

See [CLI Documentation](docs/cli.md) for all platforms and CI/CD integration examples.
