    Stasher is a tiny CLI tool that lets you share encrypted secrets that burn after reading — no accounts, no logins, no servers to trust. I built it because I just wanted to share a password. Not spin up infra. Not register for some "secure" web app. Not trust Slack threads. Just send a secret. Secrets are encrypted client-side with AES-256-GCM. You get a `uuid:key` token to share.

Dropbox/Drive were too heavy for one-off transfers, WeTransfer felt clunky for quick sends, and I really missed the simplicity Firefox Send had before it shut down. Hirosend lets you upload a file, set expiration, add an optional password, or generate a one-time magic link. Recipients just click and download — no signup required on their side. Files are encrypted before being stored and automatically deleted after expiration. There are…
