charm command [options] [arguments]

charm is a command-line tool from Charmbracelet providing end-to-end encrypted cloud storage, key-value database, and file encryption. It enables syncing data securely across devices without managing your own server.
The kv commands provide a simple key-value store useful for configuration, secrets, and application state. All data is encrypted client-side before syncing to Charm Cloud, ensuring privacy.
File encryption via charm crypt uses your Charm keys to encrypt any file. The fs command provides a virtual file system stored in the cloud. Device linking allows accessing the same data from multiple machines.

Data is encrypted, but requires trusting Charm Cloud infrastructure. The free tier has storage limits. Key backup is essential - losing keys means losing access to data. Self-hosting is possible but requires more setup.

Charm was created by Charmbracelet, a company focused on making the command line more delightful, founded in 2020. Known for TUI libraries like Bubble Tea and Lip Gloss, they developed Charm Cloud as infrastructure for CLI tools needing cloud sync. The service launched to provide developers with easy, encrypted cloud storage without complex setup.
