sealed for a hundred years
Everything you need to seal a lifetime of what matters.
GILT is a heirloom-grade vault for your digital life. You seal passwords, documents, keys and memories, then nominate who inherits them — with a dead-man's switch that fires on your terms.
Everything runs over https://api.gilt.vault. The CLI is the single source of truth: gilt init, gilt add, gilt seal.
$ npm i -g gilt $ gilt init $ gilt add master-key passwords documents $ gilt seal ✓ vault sealed · 3 items · 100-year archival
The core commands, in the order you'll use them.
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
gilt init | Create a new vault and your master key |
gilt add <item> | Add a secret, document or key |
gilt seal | Encrypt and commit the vault |
gilt nominate <heir> | Name an heir and set release conditions |
gilt verify | Check the switch is armed and healthy |
A vault is a sealed, encrypted container. Items are encrypted client-side with your master key, then replicated across independent providers on format-stable media. The format is published, so your vault never depends on GILT existing.
Nominate heirs with per-item permissions and a release policy: a check-in cadence, a release delay, an optional witness and a notify-before-unlock window you can cancel.
Vaults are written to a stable format, geo-replicated and checksummed continuously. We commit to a 100-year retention window and publish the recovery spec.
Zero-knowledge by design, AES-256 at rest, passkeys and hardware-key auth by default. We are SOC 2 Type II audited and never hold your master key.
