| crypstie | Create and open end-to-end encrypted Crypstie links with the crypstie npm CLI. Use when an agent must securely exchange text or files through crypstie.com, decrypt an existing Crypstie URL without a browser, create reusable or burn-on-read links, or automate Crypstie from a shell. |
Crypstie
Use the crypstie CLI. Install it with npm install --global crypstie if the
command is unavailable.
Open a link
Quote URLs because they contain #:
crypstie open "$CRYPSTIE_URL"
Write binary content directly to a file:
crypstie open "$CRYPSTIE_URL" --output ./result.bin
Use --json only when metadata or Base64 data is required.
Create a link
Pipe text without making a temporary plaintext file:
printf '%s' "$CONTENT" | crypstie create
Create from a file and set lifetime:
crypstie create ./input.bin --days 7
Add --burn only when the user requests deletion after reading.
Handle secrets
- Treat the complete URL as a secret: anyone holding it can decrypt the data.
- Never omit the fragment after
#; it contains the local decryption key. - Avoid repeating a full URL in explanations, logs, issues, or source files.
- Return a newly created URL only to the requesting user.
- Prefer environment variables when opening links in automation.
- Remember that Crypstie protects stored content, not endpoints where plaintext is read or written.
