Vault 01 / personal secret system

Keys,
not accounts.

Nook is a passwordless, local first, decentralized secrets manager. Your vault is encrypted before it leaves the browser, replicated only through storage you choose, and opened only by identities you authorize.

Simple Vault companion / browser extension

Fill passwords where you work.

Add Nook to Chrome or Brave for permissioned password filling. The extension is a separately protected device that pairs only with Simple Vault; Sentinel Vault never participates.

Architecture manifest / 04 layers

A vault architecture with no central keeper.

IDENTITY_ROOT / 01

Device identity

Each authorized device holds its own protected X25519 identity. Plaintext identity material exists only inside an unlocked session.

KEY_ENVELOPE / 02

Sealed root keys

Vault keys are wrapped into per-device cryptographic envelopes, so authorized identities can unlock secrets without central authority service.

ENCRYPTED_MESH / 03

Provider-neutral sync

Optional providers transport encrypted vault events. They see ciphertext and storage operations—not the secrets held inside.

CAUSAL_DAG / 04

Immutable event log

Encrypted changes converge through a content-addressed event history, preserving the order and integrity of your vault.

Cryptographic inventory / 17 primitives

For those who read the protocol.
