I love the simplicity, but can't imagine a lot of scenarios where this gets used in the real world, just out of curiosity what are the use cases for this app?

In general its used by remote devs who need to share things like API keys, tokens, credentials and other sensitive or auth related code.

It's actually used a lot.

We're working to move away from managing sensitive credentials in this way. Mostly by removing humans from the process and handling.

If this is the primary use-case, I would emulate something like bitlocker and enterprisey features for $
