Manifa
Install

One binary called mani.

A single static Rust binary. No runtime, no daemon you didn't ask for. Install it, sign in, and your vaults are a command away.

macOS app

Your vaults, in Finder.

One place under Locations, with every vault inside it. Files download when you open them and are decrypted on your Mac, never on a server.

Run this once after installing. The app shows your vaults and their status; the commands it points you at — starting with mani mount --finder — are typed in a terminal, and mani ships inside the app rather than separately, so the two halves can never be different versions.

$ sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/bin && sudo ln -sf "/Applications/Manifa Vault.app/Contents/MacOS/mani" /usr/local/bin/mani

However you like it.

One static binary from one script. Take the latest, pin a version, or install it anywhere — no package manager required.
