Commands

encrypt

Encrypts text using a password. Reads text from the first argument or stdin if no argument is provided.

secretik encrypt [TEXT] [OPTIONS]

Options:

• -o, --output: Write the encrypted Base64 output to a file named <random_name>.enc.txt instead of printing to stdout.
• --qr: Display a QR code of the encrypted Base64 output after encryption.

Examples:

# Encrypt text directly
secretik encrypt "my secret data"

# Encrypt text from stdin
echo "my secret data" | secretik encrypt

# Encrypt and save to file
secretik encrypt "my secret data" -o

# Encrypt and show QR code
secretik encrypt "my secret data" --qr

decrypt

Decrypts Base64 encoded text using a password. Reads text from the first argument or stdin by default.

secretik decrypt [TEXT_OR_FILE] [OPTIONS]

Options:

• -f, --from-file: Read the encrypted Base64 text from the specified file path instead of the argument or stdin.

Examples:

# Decrypt text directly
secretik decrypt "..." # Paste Base64 encoded text here

# Decrypt text from stdin
echo "..." | secretik decrypt

# Decrypt from a file
secretik decrypt -f my_secret.enc.txt

label

Generates one or more random names (adjective-noun format).

secretik label <TIMES>

Arguments:

• TIMES: The number of names to generate.

Example:

# Generate 3 random names
secretik label 3

qr

Generates a QR code for the given text. Reads text from the first argument or stdin if no argument is provided.

secretik qr [TEXT]

Example:

# Generate QR code for text
secretik qr "https://example.com"

# Generate QR code from stdin
echo "Some data" | secretik qr
