Overview
Hoodik is a self-hosted cloud storage server written in Rust and Vue. Files are encrypted in the browser before upload, each with its own key protected by a post-quantum scheme, so the server only stores ciphertext. It runs as a single Docker container with SQLite or PostgreSQL metadata and can keep encrypted chunks on S3-compatible storage.
- Best for
- Privacy-conscious self-hosters who want cloud storage the server operator cannot read.
- Pricing
- The self-hosted server (CC BY-NC 4.0) and the iOS, Android and macOS apps are free; the managed Hoodik Cloud starts at €9/month.

Strengths and trade-offs
Strengths
- Files encrypted in the browser; server holds only ciphertext
- Single Docker container, multi-arch, idles at around 20 MB RAM
- Encrypted chunks can go to any S3-compatible storage
- Native Rust apps for iOS, Android and macOS at no cost
Trade-offs
- Free server is CC BY-NC 4.0, so commercial use is restricted
- Self-hosting leaves you handling the server, updates and backups
- Public link sharing puts the decryption key in the URL fragment
- Sharing with people is limited to accounts on your own server

How this score is made up
Each dimension is scored out of 100 and combined into the headline score using fixed weights.
MCP support
Whether an agent can drive the product through the Model Context Protocol, and how much setup that takes.
Documentation
Publicly reachable docs — coverage, freshness, code samples and machine readability.
Agent friendliness
How readable the site is to an automated client: llms.txt, structured data, server-rendered content, crawler access.
Changelog
A public, dated record of what shipped and when — the clearest signal that a product is still alive.
Marketing site structure
Whether the site answers a buyer's questions: clear positioning, the pages that matter, and accessibility.
Page speed
How fast the site loads for real visitors: Chrome UX Report 75th-percentile LCP, INP and CLS, with a Lighthouse mobile run standing in where a site has too little traffic for field data.
Operational trust
Status page and incident history, security disclosure, compliance and data-processing documentation.
Measured, but not part of the score
Useful to know, but not a mark for or against the product — so these do not affect the ranking.
Openness
Source availability, self-hosting, data export and open standards. Scored and shown, but not part of the composite — paid SaaS is not worse for being paid SaaS.
Maintenance
Release cadence and repository activity. Scored and shown, but not part of the composite — it is only measurable for open repositories.
