Overview
Hoodik is a self-hosted storage service that encrypts files and notes in the browser before upload, with encrypted search, public sharing, 2FA, SQLite/PostgreSQL, and S3-compatible storage support.
Features and best fit
Based on official documentation; not hands-on tested · Content checked:
Encrypt files and notes on the client before storage
File keys, chunk encryption, and note encryption are handled in the browser so the server stores ciphertext.
Sources: [2]
Support encrypted search and public links without exposing plaintext
Search tokens are keyed client-side and public-link keys live in URL fragments, keeping decryption material away from the server.
Sources: [2]
For self-hosted storage where the server or object-store provider should not see plaintext
It fits users who want local or S3-compatible storage while minimizing trust placed in the storage backend.

Review the non-commercial license and recovery-key responsibilities
CC BY-NC 4.0 requires a separate license for commercial use, and recovery depends on safely retaining private key material.

Supplemental curator note
Hoodik is designed so encryption and decryption happen client-side and the server never sees plaintext file data. Its repository is licensed under CC BY-NC 4.0, which prohibits commercial use without a separate commercial agreement, so it is recorded as `NOASSERTION` rather than a standard open-source license.
