## What it is
OTS is a Go CLI tool for sharing end-to-end encrypted secrets (API keys, passwords, signing secrets) via one-time URLs. Secrets are destroyed once viewed or after a configurable expiry, with optional data-residency region selection.

## Use cases
- share an api key with a contractor without it persisting
- send a password to a teammate via a one-time link
- pipe a .env file into an encrypted one-time url
- share signing secrets with third parties securely
- create self-destructing secret links from the terminal
- choose eu region for secret storage residency

## When to choose
- you need zero-configuration, terminal-based one-time secret sharing
- you want end-to-end encryption so the server never sees plaintext
- you want secrets destroyed after a single view or expiry

## When to avoid
- you need a full team secret manager with persistent storage and access control
- you require self-hosting the storage backend (this uses Sniptt's hosted service)
- you need audit logs or role-based secret policies
