beanies.family uses bank-grade encryption that runs entirely in your browser. Your data never touches our servers unencrypted — because it never touches our servers at all.
The same authenticated encryption used by governments and banks. Every byte of your family data is encrypted before it leaves memory.
Your password is strengthened through 100,000 rounds of PBKDF2-SHA256 before it becomes an encryption key.
Each family member has their own wrapped copy of the family key. Change your password without re-encrypting the entire file.
All encryption uses the Web Crypto API built into your browser — no third-party libraries, no external dependencies.
