Encrypted Cloud Backup

Velum encrypts everything in this browser (AES-GCM-256, key from your phrase via PBKDF2 × 600,000) before it leaves — the server only ever stores ciphertext and can’t recover lost words. Uses the same recovery phrase as your other cloud apps.

Recovery phrase

Remember on this device Back up automatically after changes (needs a remembered phrase) Include recipe photos in cloud backups

Data

Everything stays in your browser (recipes in localStorage, photos in IndexedDB). File backups include photos and an integrity checksum.

About Velum

Velum

Version 2026.11.01.8

Your personal kitchen companion: keep a recipe library, plan breakfast, lunch and dinner from Saturday through Saturday without calendar dates, and let Velum do the tedious part — adding up exactly what to buy. Named after velum, the smooth veil of cloud that drapes over a rising one, like the stacked lenticular saucers that park over the Flatirons on a windy winter day.
