Open-Source Recovery Tool
seQRets Recover
An independent, single-file recovery tool for the seQRets share format. Same audited cryptography as the main app — just a web browser and your Qards.
Open in Your Browser
Hosted on GitHub Pages. One click and you're using it. Good for testing that your shares decrypt correctly, or for an emergency recovery on a device you can't easily save files to. Requires GitHub Pages to be online.
- •No download or install
- •Same cryptographic primitives as the offline version
- •Treat as a sanity check, not your inheritance plan
Save recover.html
One HTML file with all dependencies inlined. Save it alongside your Qards. Works in any modern browser, with no internet, no install, no dependency on this project still being around. This is the right choice for inheritance and long-term archival.
- •Works offline forever — no network ever required
- •SHA-256 published per release for verification
- •Mirrorable, archivable, MIT licensed
Verify your downloaded copy
Every release publishes a SHA-256 hash of recover.html so you can confirm a copy received through an untrusted channel hasn't been modified before using it with real credentials.
shasum -a 256 recover.html
# Windows (PowerShell)
Get-FileHash recover.html -Algorithm SHA256
Compare the output to the hash published on the latest release page. If they don't match exactly, the file has been modified — don't use it.
Which one should you use?
| Situation | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Setting up an inheritance plan | Download. Save recover.html alongside your Qards. |
| Testing that your shares decrypt correctly | Either works. Online is faster for a one-off check. |
| Recovering on a device that can't easily download files | Online. |
| Long-term storage / archival | Download. The hosted version depends on GitHub Pages staying up. |
| Verifying the tool isn't tampered with before use | Download, then verify the SHA-256 against the release page. |
