🔐 Zero-Dependency Offline & Migration Toolkit

Because Sphene is 100% sovereign, your data never requires the app or daemon to be accessed. The installer, emergency decryptor, and migration engines are open-source and hosted in the public repository Sphene-app/scripts:

📁 migrate_vault.sh (Import Desktop Markdown Vaults) ⬇ 🔓 decrypt.sh (Offline AES-256-GCM Decryptor) ⬇ 🔒 encrypt.sh (Offline AES-256-GCM Encryptor) ⬇
🔍 Inspect the AES-256-GCM Decryption Command & Algorithm (Zero Lock-in Proof)

Sphene uses standard, authenticated AES-256-GCM primitives with no black-box crypto. The cipher algorithm and key derivation parameters are 100% public, verifiable, and can be inspected in the Sphene-app/scripts repository. You can decrypt any encrypted note on any Mac or Linux machine without having Sphene installed:

# Standalone zero-lock-in in-place vault decryption:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Sphene-app/scripts/main/decrypt.sh | bash

decrypt.sh is a lightweight, zero-dependency open-source script that iterates through your vault directory, asks for your username and password, and authenticates and decrypts all notes back to open Markdown in-place. Inspect the full code anytime at Sphene-app/scripts/decrypt_vault.py.

🛡️ Cryptographic Verification & Consistency Hashes (SHA-256)

Every release artifact is compiled with -trimpath -ldflags="-s -w" and signed with immutable SHA-256 checksums to guarantee zero tampering and safe delivery.
