What is Hoodik?
Hoodik is a lightweight, self-hosted cloud storage server with end-to-end encryption and native mobile apps. All encryption and decryption happens on your device — in the browser via WebAssembly, or on mobile via native Rust bindings. The server stores only ciphertext and has zero access to your data.
The same Rust cryptography engine powers every platform — web, Android, and iOS — so one security audit covers all clients. Hoodik supports multiple modern ciphers (AEGIS-128L with hardware acceleration, ChaCha20-Poly1305, Ascon-128a) and stores the cipher per file, so old files always decrypt correctly as new algorithms are added.
Search is privacy-preserving: file names are tokenized with a BERT language model and hashed with SHA-256 before reaching the server. You can search your files without the server learning what you searched for.
The built-in WYSIWYG markdown editor lets you create and edit encrypted notes with syntax highlighting, tables, and auto-save — an encrypted, self-hosted alternative to Obsidian for everyday note-taking.
Mobile and desktop apps cache files locally for offline access, and the local cache is fully encrypted with the same standard as on the server. Even if a device is lost or stolen, cached data cannot be read without the user's private key.
The macOS app includes a built-in MCP server that lets AI agents like Claude read and write your encrypted files — but only when you explicitly allow it. The app handles decryption transparently; the AI never sees your keys.
Additional features include chunked concurrent uploads and downloads, image/video/PDF preview with encrypted thumbnails, public link sharing, drag-and-drop upload, folder upload, S3-compatible storage backends (AWS, Backblaze B2, Wasabi, MinIO), two-factor authentication, biometric and PIN unlock, admin dashboard with user management and quotas, and multi-account support.
Deploys with a single Docker container on any VPS. Multi-arch images support amd64, arm64, armv7, and armv6. Runs on SQLite by default or PostgreSQL.
