Do you use any personal tricks to peel a hard boiled egg easily?

There are dozens, (scores? hundreds?), of methods on the web, with their own spin on the process.
Are there any tricks you personally use to make the egg shell and membrane peel off easily?
I’ve read things like: get water boiling, take off the heat and let sit 10 minutes, then plunge into cold water. Maybe that works if you want to eat the egg right away. However, I want to cook them and leave them in the refrigerator to eat later, maybe several days to a week later.
I recently tried storing the cooked eggs in the refrigerator in a container or water. That worked reasonably well.
Do you have any tricks to store and peel eggs days after cooking? Examples: store in salt water, store in vinegar, microwave for a few seconds, etc.

I readily admit this is a First world problem, especially with the current situation in Ukraine, but I hate wasting food experimenting.
Surely someone here has mastered this process.
