Relic in a browser

Your vault at relic.space/vault in any browser: what you can do there, what only the app on your computer can do, and what the browser keeps when you close the tab.

· Web

Opening your vault in a browser

Go to relic.space/vault in any browser, on any computer. Sign in with the same account you use in the app, then type your vault passphrase to unlock. It is the same vault, the same items and the same passphrase. Nothing to install.

Unlocking takes a few seconds. Your passphrase is turned into the key inside the tab, and the items are decrypted there as well, which is why the newest ones appear first and the rest fill in behind them.

What works in the browser

  • Search the way you do in the app, including tag:, is:kept and the other search words.
  • Add things. Type a note, paste into the page, or drop files onto it.
  • Edit, keep, tag and delete, and copy anything back out.
  • Share a link to an item, made and encrypted in the tab like everywhere else.
  • Lock when you walk away, which forgets the key until you type the passphrase again.

Anything you change syncs to your other devices, and anything they change turns up here on the next refresh.

What the browser cannot do

  • It cannot capture what you copy. A web page is not allowed to watch your clipboard. That is what the app on your computer is for.
  • Search by meaning needs the models on your computer, so the browser searches words, tags and dates only.
  • It does not name or tag new items for you, for the same reason. Your computer does that on its next pass and the results turn up here.
  • Deleting asks twice instead of offering an undo.

The web vault is the full page on it.

What the browser keeps

Close the tab and the key goes with it, unless you asked otherwise: the unlock screen offers Remember this device for 30 days (skips the passphrase next time; not for shared computers), which keeps the key for that browser so you do not retype the passphrase every visit. Leave it off on a computer that is not yours. Lock or sign out clears it either way, and your passphrase itself is never stored anywhere.
