I'm Envy — a curious mind building tools with a little neon and a lot of intention.
Local intelligence, systems worth exploring, and a way back when something breaks.
A little shell magic. I still eat glitter. ✨

Eleven tools from the BLACK VEIL workshop, pulled out as standalone desktop apps — a real native window in the ENVY neon theme, with no Python to install. Each ships its own bundles for macOS, Windows and Linux through CI, installs on Apple-Silicon Macs with a single brew install --cask from the xzchick/envy Homebrew tap, and installs straight onto BLACK VEIL the OS.
|
◇ ENVY Vault — keep it yours. Passphrase-protected file encryption with AES-256-GCM and scrypt, in an animated native window. Each result goes to a new file; your original is never touched or overwritten.
|
⬡ ENVY Cryptography Workbench — encode, cipher, analyze. Base64 and hex, ROT and Atbash, chained into recipes with live output, plus a frequency/entropy analysis tab with a 26-shift ROT brute force. Honest by design: encodings, not encryption.
|
|
🗂 ENVY Casebook — case notes, kept honest. Encrypted notes, entities, events and links with a hash-chained revision journal, a link chart and event timelines. Every save is a new encrypted revision; plaintext HTML/JSON export when you choose.
|
▦ ENVY Ops Desk — plan it locally. Encrypted role aliases, assignments, progress, check-ins and acknowledgements with a hash-chained journal, computed due states and authenticated handoff bundles. A handoff proves the passphrase, not an identity.
|
|
▧ ENVY Evidence Vault — follow the fingerprints. Copied-file intake into an encrypted vault, keyed by the SHA-256 of each file's original bytes, with verification that re-hashes every object and a hash-chained custody journal. Integrity since intake — not origin.
|
◌ ENVY Veil — more than meets the eye. Hide an AES-256-GCM encrypted file inside a lossless PNG, BMP or WAV carrier with LSB steganography, watch a live capacity meter, and reveal it with your passphrase. Honest by design: concealment is not the security — the encryption is.
|
|
◎ ENVY Integrity Monitor — know when something changes. Baseline a folder's files by SHA-256 into an encrypted record, then detect exactly what was added, removed or modified since, with a hash-chained change journal and revision-preserving accepts. Honest by design: a difference proves change, not cause.
|
⊚ ENVY Orbit — keep everything in orbit. Track recurring obligations by cadence — rotate a key every 90 days, verify a backup weekly — log each completion into a hash-chained journal, and see what is overdue, due, soon or on track. Honest by design: it records that you logged it, not that you did it.
|
|
◈ ENVY SkyWatch — watch for what matters. Keep an encrypted watchlist of terms — keywords or file hashes — then scan a file or folder offline and read every hit with its file, line and context, ranked by severity, with a hash-chained scan journal. Honest by design: a hit is a literal match, not a verdict.
|
✦ ENVY Oracle — hold yourself to your predictions. Record a prediction with a confidence from 1 to 99 percent, resolve it yes or no, and see how well your confidence matched reality — Brier score, accuracy and a calibration table by band. Honest by design: it scores your foresight, it does not foretell.
|
|
⋔ ENVY Hypothesis — weigh the competing explanations. List the competing hypotheses and the evidence, rate each evidence/hypothesis cell from very inconsistent to very consistent, and rank the hypotheses by how little the evidence contradicts them — the Analysis of Competing Hypotheses method. Honest by design: it structures your reasoning, it supplies no facts.
|
▚ ENVY BLACK VEIL — the OS they live on. All eleven apps install onto BLACK VEIL, my standalone Linux OS, with one command: |
Native windows, not browser views. Offline; no telemetry, no network, no accounts. Vault protects files; the Workbench is for reversible encodings and teaching ciphers, not security.
My own Linux OS — now a standalone, buildable OS. An AlmaLinux 10 + KDE Plasma 6 desktop, themed end to end in the ENVY neon palette — GRUB, the Plymouth boot splash (with a LUKS passphrase prompt), the SDDM login, the desktop and the terminal. The repo is the real build system: a live-ISO Kickstart, the theme packages, an ENVY-branded Calamares installer, and CI. BLACK VEIL ships as just the OS — a clean, focused base — and every ENVY tool installs onto it afterwards with one command, envy-tools install all (or pick your own: Vault, the Cryptography Workbench, Casebook, Ops Desk, Evidence Vault, Veil, the Integrity Monitor, Orbit, SkyWatch, Oracle and Hypothesis). It's built to be portable — install it onto an external SSD, HDD or USB drive and boot it on almost any PC. Encrypted and offline by design: SELinux enforcing, the firewall on, nothing listening.

The portable tools are moving to standalone apps; the Linux desktop is still coming together.
