In their own words
Hoodik
Hoodik is encrypted cloud storage that encrypts files on a device before upload. Starter includes 100 GB and Plus includes 500 GB, and both plans allow unlimited users. Users can share files and folders with view or edit permissions and collaborate on markdown notes with version history. Hoodik hashes filenames and search queries on the device, so the server compares fingerprints rather than the words. Its maker says file keys are wrapped using X25519 and ML-KEM-768 and do not reach its servers. Cloud customers can choose EU or US storage regions; the maker says its object storage is designed for 99.999999999% annual durability. Free native apps are available for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Android, while Windows and Linux users are directed to the web app. Hoodik can also be run with its Docker guide on a home server, Raspberry Pi, NAS, or Linux machine, using S3-compatible storage such as Backblaze B2, Wasabi, AWS S3, or MinIO. On macOS, a local MCP server offers 13 file and note tools to AI clients including Claude Desktop and Cursor. That feature serves the account active and unlocked in the app. Cloud customers can export an archive with a runnable Hoodik copy and encrypted data. Self-hosting is free; cloud plans start at €9/mo.
