ENVY — a different frequency, in neon pink and cyan

Local AI · Linux · Recovery · Privacy · Cybersecurity · Digital Forensics · Content Creation

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. ✨

ENVY Terminal

ENVY Terminal: local AI in your Terminal for macOS, Windows and Linux

My AI workspace, entirely in Terminal. Fast local answers, a deeper Fable mode, searchable documents and research with sources you can inspect. The models run on your own computer, with no cloud.

Fast and deep models, explicit memory, a local document library, cited research, evidence checks, private by default

macOS: Terminal, macOS Keychain, Apple Vision OCR Windows: PowerShell, Credential Manager Linux: any POSIX shell, Secret Service keyring

Hash Audit

Hash Audit: local, terminal-based hash auditing and authorized password recovery for macOS, Windows and Linux

Terminal-only password recovery for hashes you own or are authorized to test. It validates hash files, identifies plausible formats and drives Hashcat or John the Ripper Jumbo, entirely on your own machine.

23 hash formats, two engines, wordlists and masks, safe by design, private results, authorized use only

macOS: Terminal, Homebrew engines, private result folders Windows: PowerShell, engines on PATH, NTFS-locked results Linux: any POSIX shell, apt or dnf engines, private result folders

Explore Hash Audit →   ·   Install on macOS, Windows or Linux   ·   All 23 formats

Local and offline. For hashes you own or are authorized to test; no online lookup, no account testing, no credential collection.

Standalone Apps

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 — passphrase file encryption in a native window for macOS, Windows and Linux

◇ 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 — offline encoding, classical ciphers and text analysis for macOS, Windows and Linux

⬡ 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.

Base64 · hex ROT · Atbash analysis no deps

ENVY Casebook — encrypted, revision-preserving case notes in a native window for macOS, Windows and Linux

🗂 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.

AES-256-GCM hash chain link chart offline

Explore Casebook →  ·  Install

ENVY Ops Desk — encrypted, revision-preserving operations plans with authenticated handoffs for macOS, Windows and Linux

▦ 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.

AES-256-GCM due states handoffs offline

Explore Ops Desk →  ·  Install

ENVY Evidence Vault — encrypted copied-file intake with a hash-verified custody journal for macOS, Windows and Linux

▧ 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.

AES-256-GCM SHA-256 custody log offline

ENVY Veil — hide an AES-256-GCM encrypted file inside a lossless image or audio carrier for macOS, Windows and Linux

◌ 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.

AES-256-GCM steganography PNG · WAV offline

ENVY Integrity Monitor — encrypted file-integrity baselines with change detection for macOS, Windows and Linux

◎ 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 — encrypted recurring-cadence tracking for macOS, Windows and Linux

⊚ 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.

AES-256-GCM hash chain cadence offline

ENVY SkyWatch — encrypted watchlists and offline content scanning for macOS, Windows and Linux

◈ 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.

AES-256-GCM hash chain offline scan no deps

ENVY Oracle — encrypted forecasts and calibration scoring for macOS, Windows and Linux

✦ 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.

AES-256-GCM hash chain calibration offline

ENVY Hypothesis — Analysis of Competing Hypotheses for macOS, Windows and Linux

⋔ 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 standalone OS these tools install onto

▚ ENVY BLACK VEIL — the OS they live on. All eleven apps install onto BLACK VEIL, my standalone Linux OS, with one command: envy-tools install all. Or run each on macOS and Windows too.

macOS: native window, bundled Python and Qt Windows: native window, bundled Python and Qt Linux: X11 or Wayland window, bundled Python and Qt

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.

The BLACK VEIL Workshop

BLACK VEIL — standalone Linux OS, v0.1.0 Boots from external drives

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.

ENVY BLACK VEIL — Linux desktop and system tools

A desktop with its own identity. AlmaLinux + KDE Plasma, searchable utilities, live command output, and a cohesive dark interface.

AlmaLinux KDE Plasma Python RPM

RECLAIM — recovery, one block at a time

Make recovery visible. A 1,024-block recovery map driven by GNU ddrescue progress for disk-image recovery.
