Field notes
The page describes a local-first iPhone workflow in which vault contents are encrypted before backup to the user’s own iCloud. Its compression rule is unusually explicit: a result must be at least 15% smaller and meet a stated 34 dB PSNR floor, or the app rejects it. The site also outlines a 12-word recovery phrase, a single encrypted .hushfold export, five index versions, and a 30-day Trash period for originals.
