MindMapVault

Privacy-first mind mapping with always-on client-side encryption

About MindMapVault

MindMapVault is a mind mapping and note-taking app whose hosted vaults are always encrypted on the client side with a strict no-backdoor design, and which also offers a fully local, offline path. It comes in three forms: a free FOSS desktop edition that needs no account and stores data on your own machine, a hosted version with optional encrypted sync and a lightweight browser app for real-time collaborative mapping, and a self-hosted server. It imports and exports FreeMind, FreePlane, WiseMapping, XMind, and Markdown formats.
