+
+Split Secret is a versatile command-line tool for securely splitting a master secret among multiple users. Only when a defined quorum of users combines their secret shares can the original secret be decrypted. The tool also supports robust encryption, decryption, and cleanup operations to ensure sensitive data is managed securely throughout the process.
+
+---
+
+## 🛠 Features
+
+- **Secret Splitting:** Divide a master secret into shares distributed among users.
+- **Encryption & Decryption:** Securely encrypt and decrypt data files using strong cryptographic methods.
+- **User Management:** Add and manage user information along with their secret shares.
+- **Cleanup Operations:** Remove decrypted files after processing to maintain security.
+- **Interactive Modes:** Operate in active, preview, or interactive modes to match your workflow.
+- **Parallel Processing:** Efficiently handles file operations using process pooling.
+
+---
+
+## 📥 Installation
+
+Install Split Secret via [Kevin's Package Manager](https://github.com/kevinveenbirkenbach/package-manager) under the alias `sisec`:
+
+```bash
+package-manager install sisec
+```
+
+This command installs Split Secret globally, making it available as `sisec` in your terminal. 🚀
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 Usage
+
+Split Secret offers several modes for managing your secrets. Here are a few example commands:
+
+### Cleanup Data
+To delete all unnecessary decrypted and encrypted files:
+```bash
+sisec --mode cleanup
+```
+
+### Encrypt Data & Generate Meta Data
+Encrypt the master secret file and generate encrypted metadata with additional user information:
+```bash
+sisec --secret-holders-amount 3 --quota 50 --mode encrypt --add-user-information --master-password "your_master_password" --meta --add-user-information << EOL

+
+### Decrypt Meta Data File
+To decrypt the accumulated metadata file:
+```bash
+sisec --mode decrypt --meta
+```
+
+For additional commands and options (such as user-specific decryption, file type filtering, or recursive processing), use:
+```bash
+sisec --help
+```
