Drop a file on the menu bar, then paste the link. Orveila uploads straight to your own S3-compatible bucket.
Working demo. Nothing is uploaded.

Turn on encryption for a bucket and everything is sealed on your Mac before it leaves. Your provider keeps the data and can’t make sense of it.

Every file is encrypted on your Mac with AES-256-GCM, in 1 MiB chunks that can’t be altered, swapped or cut short without the file refusing to open.
contract-signed.pdf reaches your provider as a string of noise, and you still see the real name in Orveila. Your provider can tell only how large a file is and when it arrived.
Each file has its own key, wrapped in AES-256-GCM and again with X-Wing, which pairs ML-KEM-768 with X25519. A future attack on either one leaves your files safe.
It is generated on your Mac and kept in your Keychain. You save a recovery key once. Without it nobody can open these files, including you.
Orveila is where you open your bucket, not only where you upload to it.
Recent files by date or folders as you arranged them, in a list or as thumbnails. Search finds the rest.
Arrow keys walk the list, Space opens Quick Look, Return renames, and ⌘Z takes back a move or a delete.
Drop files or whole folders on the window or the menu bar icon. Drag a file onto a folder to move it, or out to Finder to download it.
Uploads, downloads and moves carry on after a lost connection or a restart, from where they stopped.
Every link is signed and opens from a private bucket. Choose an hour, a day or seven days.
Keep work and personal storage side by side, on different providers, and switch from the title of the window.
An address, a bucket name and two keys. Orveila speaks standard S3 and asks for nothing else, so it works with the provider you already pay for.

Every transfer is written down as it runs, so a dropped connection or a restart costs you only the part that was in flight.
Done. The link is on your clipboard.
Location and camera details are removed from a copy. Your original stays untouched.
The window is one way in. These are the others.
Orveila has no accounts and no server of its own. The app talks only to the address you gave it, and your access keys stay in the macOS Keychain. There is nothing of yours for us to lose.
No. Orveila has no accounts and no server of its own. You bring a bucket from any S3-compatible provider and the app connects to it directly.
From your Mac straight to the storage address you entered, and nowhere else. The app makes no other network requests, so there is nothing in between that could see or keep a copy.
Anything that speaks the S3 API: Cloudflare R2, Amazon S3, Backblaze B2, Wasabi, MinIO and others. It needs an address, a bucket name and two keys. A region is optional.
In the macOS Keychain, on your Mac. Access keys and encryption keys never leave it.
The Mac you set it up on still holds the key in its Keychain, and Settings can copy it again. If that Mac is gone too, nobody can open your encrypted files, including you.
Not yet. Encrypted files open only in Orveila, so a link would hand over unreadable data. Files you upload without encryption get a signed link that expires after an hour, a day or seven days, your choice.
