## Projektgeschichte und Nutzung

ots is a Go command-line tool from Sniptt for sharing secrets through one-time URLs. It encrypts a secret on the client side, uploads encrypted bytes to the service, and returns a URL intended to be opened once or expire after a chosen lifetime.

### Projektgeschichte

Sniptt introduced ots publicly in a 14 June 2021 post about developer-focused secret sharing. The post described one-time URL sharing as a popular Sniptt use case and presented ots as a lightweight, zero-configuration Go CLI for creating end-to-end encrypted one-time secrets.

The GitHub repository keeps the implementation compact and Go-only. Its README positions the tool for API keys, signing secrets, passwords, and environment data, with support for interactive prompts, pipelines, expiry settings, and regional data residency.

### Adoptionsgeschichte

ots gained package-manager visibility through Homebrew, where the formula builds the Go CLI and installs shell completions. The GitHub repository lists fourteen releases and a substantially larger star count than many single-purpose secret-sharing CLIs, suggesting interest beyond the original Sniptt audience.

### Wie es verwendet wird

Users can create a secret interactively with ots new, pass data through a shell pipeline such as pbpaste or cat .env, set an expiry, and choose a storage region. The hosted web page offers the same one-time-secret model from a browser and advertises the CLI install path.

The code encrypts bytes with AES-256-GCM using a randomly generated key and nonce before sending encrypted bytes to the API. The service model is therefore aimed at quick exchange of sensitive material without placing plaintext into chat, email, or issue trackers.

### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren

ots is interesting as a package because it turns a hosted security workflow into a Unix-friendly pipe target. It is not a general secret manager; its value is the narrow workflow of making one encrypted, expiring URL from terminal input.

### Zeitleiste

- 14 June 2021: Sniptt's blog described ots as a zero-configuration Go CLI for one-time encrypted secret URLs.
- 8 February 2025: The GitHub repository lists v0.3.1 as a release, and Homebrew's formula builds from that tag.

### Related projects

- ots is related to Sniptt's broader secret-management tooling and web-ots, the hosted browser interface for one-time secrets.
