Hey,

OrigamiVault supports both AES encryption and Shamir Secret Sharing on printed paper, allowing you to create a safe and reliable strategy for storing valuable secrets and passing them on to loved ones in case of emergency or death.

Example usage with AES (encryption):

You can encrypt your sensitive information with OrigamiVault and ask a relative to store the printed page somewhere safe. Then share the decryption password with a trusted friend. Tell them to combine both pieces only in case of emergency or death.
Neither the relative nor the friend can access the secret on their own — both parts are required.

For additional safety, handwrite part of the secret separately (e.g., one word or part of a password). This way, even if someone compromises the device used for encryption, they still cannot recover the full secret without the handwritten piece. For crypto keys, it’s often best to encrypt only a tiny fraction of the recovery phrase (e.g., just 1 of the 12 words).

OrigamiVault encrypts everything locally in your browser and lets you store the result as a QR code or OCR-friendly printed snippet. Nothing is ever uploaded or stored online.

Paper becomes your storage medium — and paper can last for decades.

The project is fully open source, you can `CMD+S` decryption page or fork it, enable GitHub Pages, and become the 100% owner of your own private version in less than 5 minutes.

I’d love to hear your thoughts, ideas, or critiques — especially from people who care about privacy and security. 🙏
