About Banana Split

Banana Split uses Shamir's Secret Sharing to split secrets into QR-code shards. Any majority of shards can reconstruct the secret — fewer reveal nothing.

How it works

1. Enter your secret (e.g., a seed phrase, private key, password).

2. Choose how many shards to create and how many are required to reconstruct.

3. Use the auto-generated passphrase or enter your own.

4. Banana Split encrypts the secret with the passphrase, then splits the ciphertext into N QR codes using Shamir's scheme.

5. Print or save the QR codes. Write the passphrase by hand on every sheet.

To reconstruct: scan a majority of QR code shards, enter the passphrase, and your secret is restored.

Features

• Offline — all cryptography happens on-device, no server communication

• Save shards as PNGs or PDF with full Unicode font support

• Open saved shards in another app, save them to Downloads or any folder, or share them

• Camera and gallery QR scanning with multi-file import

• Custom or auto-generated passphrases

• User-selectable quorum (how many shards needed)

• 9 languages: English, Russian, Turkish, Belarusian, Georgian, Ukrainian, Polish, Spanish, Italian

• Cross-platform shard compatibility with the Banana Split web app

Security

Encryption: scrypt key derivation + NaCl secretbox (XSalsa20-Poly1305).

Splitting: Shamir's Secret Sharing over GF(256).
