What only a .cake can do.

Redaction: one file, many views

Send a single .cake to ten recipients; each sees only the sections they are cleared for. Change permissions even after send. Layer Bake™ and Parbake™ on desktop.

AUDITOR

Ingredients

Encrypted. But searchable. A label your DMS and your AI can read; a payload nobody can. AI drafts it, you approve it.

CLI & automation

Layers, boxed par-bakes, groups, JSON output.

Control after send

Add people, rescind access for individuals, or Burn the .cake for everyone.
WHERE YOU WORK

Bake where you already work.

Gmail BETA

A Bake button in every compose window. Install from the Chrome Web Store.

Outlook ENTERPRISE

The same Bake button, deployed org-wide by your IT team.

Desktop & Mobile

macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android. Bake, open, and redact locally.

Web Portal

Bake and manage keys from any browser. Nothing to install.
WHY

Yesterday's secure perimeter is today's screen door.

Most documents teams work on every day don't live in the system of record. They flow through email, chat, and the cloud. Now agents read those same channels at machine speed.

THE GAP

Outside the system of record.

  • Sensitive docs sit outside the chart, the CRM, the DAM.
  • They flow over email, chat, and shared drives.
  • AI agents now read those same channels at machine speed.
  • Existing IRM tools are enterprise-priced and slow to roll out.
INSIDE HONEYCAKE

The security travels with the file.

  • Encrypt and decrypt seamlessly across email, web, desktop, mobile, CLI.
  • Per-section redaction: one file, many views.
  • Zero-exposure: we hold the keys; your documents never touch our servers.
  • Cost-efficient by design. Dynamically priced to scale up or down.
HOW IT WORKS

Four steps. The security is baked in.

1

Drag any file

Simply drag any file into the Honeycake app.

2

Set permissions

Answer who can open the file and when. Configure redaction, time limits, and access controls.

3

Click Bake™

The security is baked right into the file itself.

4

Share securely

Share the .cake anywhere: email, Slack, Drive. Only designated people can open it.

"Honeycake gave us a way to automate data delivery securely. Something we couldn't do simply with other file-share platforms."

Dr. Tyler Clark · Assistant Director of Operations, Western Kentucky University

The Case for Self-Protecting Files in an Agentic World

Explore the four quadrants of AI risk, learn why perimeter defenses are failing, and discover how file-native encryption is the only reliable constraint in a world of autonomous data movement.

AI is the gas. Honeycake is the brake. Racecars need both.
