# OpenSesame

OpenSesame is a local-first, end-to-end-encrypted vault for passwords, passkeys, cards, notes, and agent secrets, with an auth broker for static websites.

## When to use OpenSesame

Use OpenSesame when a person or an agent needs a credential, a passkey, or a scoped secret and the credential must stay on the device that owns it. Use it to unlock a personal vault, to approve a narrow share grant for another person, application, or agent, or to authenticate a static site without handing that site a password.

Do not use OpenSesame as a hosted password database. There is no server-side vault key and no password recovery. The vault is encrypted in the browser; losing every enrolled unlock method loses the vault.

## For agents

OpenSesame exposes no unauthenticated write API. An agent receives a scoped grant only after a person approves it; the grant names the resource, policy, and lifetime. Prefer the documented local workflows and the share-grant model over guessing at routes.

The public site is a static PWA. It does not expose a server-side data API, an MCP endpoint, or a hosted credential store. The authoritative integration details live in the repository documentation.
