## What it is
ReMemory is a tool that encrypts your files with age and splits the key using Shamir's Secret Sharing among trusted people, who each receive a self-contained offline browser-based recovery bundle. It is available as a web UI, CLI, and self-hosted Docker service for creating these recovery bundles.

## Use cases
- split a file encryption key among trusted friends with a threshold
- plan digital estate so family can access files if something happens to me
- create offline recovery bundles that work without any server
- encrypt important documents and require 3 of 5 people to unlock them
- set up a dead man's switch for disaster recovery of secrets
- recover encrypted files in a browser without installing anything

## When to choose
- you want threshold-based key splitting with Shamir's Secret Sharing
- recovery must work offline and survive the project disappearing
- you want a no-server, privacy-first encryption workflow
- you need a digital legacy or disaster recovery plan for personal files

## When to avoid
- you need continuous or automated access to the encrypted files
- you want a password manager or cloud secret vault
- you need enterprise key management with auditing and rotation
- you require time-locked recovery without any internet connection
