How it’s encrypted
Every file is encrypted in your browser before it ever touches Henedo’s servers. A random 256-bit File Encryption Key (FEK) is generated per file, used to AES-256-GCM encrypt the payload, and then wrapped with your Master Key. Your Master Key is derived on your device from your passphrase plus a device-bound Account Secret Key.
The server sees ciphertext, encrypted filenames, and encrypted folder names, nothing else. There is no backdoor, no master-key escrow, and no employee bypass. See the full architecture including our zero-knowledge model, canary-blob breach detection, and binary transparency verification.
More than files, your voice and video too
The vault stores any file format, but the Henedo Journal turns the same encryption envelope into a daily life chronicle: voice notes (encrypted WebM/Opus or MP4/AAC), video messages (encrypted MP4/H.264), dated text entries, photos. Voice for the moments you cannot be there. Video for the wisdom only you can pass on. Encrypted client-side under the same Master Key as your documents, scheduled to deliver to the people you choose.
Every file gets a story, written or spoken
Click any file or folder in your vault and attach a written note (markdown supported, autosaves as you type) plus an optional voice memo recorded right in the browser. Up to 30 minutes of audio per file. Both the text and the audio are encrypted client-side under the same Master Key as the file itself, so the server is blind to all three.
This is the layer that turns a folder of documents into a *narrated archive*. Why you bought the house the day you scanned the deed. Who's in the family photo. What your insurance contact is called. Inheritors don't just receive "Insurance_2024.pdf". They hear the voice of the person who saved it, explaining what it is.
Notes and voice memos travel with the file automatically. When you assign a trusted contact access to a folder, the note text and the voice memo's decryption key are re-wrapped under that contact's COTK alongside the file itself. When you seal a file into the Eternal Vault, both the note and the voice are re-encrypted under the vault's EVAK and bound into the SHA3-512 hash that the hybrid Ed25519 + ML-DSA-65 (NIST FIPS 204) signature covers, so they inherit the same post-quantum protection as the rest of the sealed vault, for the full preservation term recorded on your purchase.
Free on every paid tier. No limits per account. The grid view shows a small preview of each note inline; the file preview modal shows the full note as a glassmorphic overlay you can read while looking at the photo or document itself. One click to edit, autosave on blur, no separate app to remember.
Built for release, not hoarding
A vault nobody can open is just a tomb. Henedo delivers trusted-contact keys the day you designate someone, not at your death. The platform is a simple boolean gate: before Trusted Delivery fires, the server refuses to serve encrypted data. After, it does. The keys your family holds are valid from day one.
FAQ
Anything: insurance policies, property deeds, vehicle titles, tax records, bank statements, crypto recovery phrases, password manager exports, digital account credentials, medical directives, photos, videos, personal letters. If it’s a file, it goes in the vault.
Every file is encrypted client-side with AES-256-GCM using a random File Encryption Key (FEK). The FEK is wrapped with your Master Key (MK), which itself is derived from your passphrase + a device-bound Account Secret Key via Argon2id (64 MB). The server never sees plaintext, only ciphertext it cannot decrypt. Read the full architecture on the
Trusted Delivery (a dead man’s switch) activates after 180 days of inactivity plus a 5-week warning cascade. Trusted contacts you designated are activated and receive access. They’ve held their decryption keys the whole time, the platform was just refusing to serve the ciphertext until now. After 60 days, the Living Vault is permanently deleted.
No. Our architecture is zero-knowledge. Even with full admin access to every server, our staff cannot decrypt your vault, the keys never leave your device. This is cryptographically enforced, not a promise.
Witness is free with 1 GiB. Solo is $79/year or $7.99/month for one private owner and 100 GiB. Household is $129/year or $12.99/month for two owners and 200 GiB pooled. Family is $299/year or $29.99/month for six owners and 500 GiB pooled. Annual AI Book composition allowances are 6, 12 and 36. USD; applicable taxes are shown at checkout. Active recurring memberships can add 100 GiB for $49/year, billed separately.
The Living Vault stores encrypted files for your membership. Eternal Vault is a separate $699 purchase for 100 GiB with a 100-year term: upload files, choose inheritors and seal an encrypted snapshot stored in Cloudflare R2. Current purchases do not include physical delivery or an invested fund. Retain complete exports and their keys for independent recovery.
Yes. Every file and every folder in the vault carries an optional written note (markdown supported, autosaves as you type) and an optional recorded voice memo (up to 30 minutes). Both are encrypted client-side under the same Master Key as the file itself, so the server is blind to all three. When the file travels (into a trusted contact's bundle or sealed into an Eternal Vault) the note and voice memo go with it, automatically re-wrapped under the appropriate envelope key. Inheritors don't just receive the document; they hear the voice of the person who saved it explaining what it is.
No. Transcription would require shipping audio to a model API, which would break the zero-knowledge boundary. Voice memos are stored as encrypted audio only. On-device transcription that never leaves your browser is on the roadmap.
