# Manifa

> End-to-end encrypted file & .env sync for developers.

Manifa is a zero-knowledge file and .env sync tool: the CLI encrypts on-device, so the server never sees file contents, filenames, or key material.

Full concatenated documentation: https://beta.manifa.dev/llms-full.txt

## Quickstart

- [Quickstart](https://beta.manifa.dev/docs/quickstart.md): Install the CLI, set up your account, and sync your first folder.

## Concepts

- [The zero-knowledge model](https://beta.manifa.dev/docs/concepts/zero-knowledge.md): What the server can and can't see, and the key hierarchy that makes it true.
- [Vaults and devices](https://beta.manifa.dev/docs/concepts/vaults-and-devices.md): The unit of sharing and keying, and how a device earns access to it.
- [The sync model](https://beta.manifa.dev/docs/concepts/sync-model.md): Snapshots, heads, and how push/pull resolve concurrent edits.

## Platforms

- [Platforms](https://beta.manifa.dev/docs/platforms.md): What works where: the CLI, key storage, and on-demand-files support per OS.
- [macOS](https://beta.manifa.dev/docs/platforms/macos.md): CLI install, Keychain-backed device keys, and the Finder on-demand-files extension.
- [Linux](https://beta.manifa.dev/docs/platforms/linux.md): CLI install, secret-service device keys, and building mani mount over FUSE.
- [Windows](https://beta.manifa.dev/docs/platforms/windows.md): There's no native Windows build today — how to run Manifa under WSL2.
