MindMapVault
What it is
MindMapVault is an end-to-end encrypted vault for creating, editing, and storing mind maps, notes, attachments, and relationships between maps. For cloud use, map content is encrypted on the device with AES-256-GCM before upload, and the server stores ciphertext. Its hybrid key encapsulation combines X25519 and ML-KEM-768. The free cloud plan includes 25 MB of encrypted storage, three active shares, five published maps, and a 5 MB largest-file limit. Cloud Pro costs $50 / year and includes 1 GB of encrypted storage, 100 active shares, effectively unlimited published maps, and a largest-file limit of 50 MB. Free desktop-local and self-hosted options are also listed; the desktop app works offline and keeps data on the device. The web app can be installed as a PWA on iPhone and Android, with offline use supported through service-worker caching. Imports include FreeMind, Freeplane, WiseMapping, XMind, and Markdown. Exports include JSON, Markdown, FreeMind, PNG, and PDF. Real-time collaboration is unavailable, and lost credentials make existing encrypted vault contents inaccessible.
For and against
For
- Encrypts map content on the device before upload.
- Free desktop-local and self-hosted options.
- Web app supports offline use through caching.
- Imports several mind-map formats and Markdown.
- Exports JSON, Markdown, PNG, and PDF.
Against
- No real-time collaboration.
- Lost credentials prevent recovery of encrypted vault contents.
- Self-hosted server lacks team management and enterprise controls.
- Cloud Free limits storage to 25 MB.
The verdict
MindMapVault combines encrypted cloud storage with offline desktop and self-hosted options, with several import and export formats. Consider the credential-loss limitation and the lack of real-time collaboration before choosing it.
Who it suits
MindMapVault suits people who want encrypted mind maps and notes, including users who need offline or self-hosted options. Teams seeking real-time collaboration or server-edition enterprise controls may need to look elsewhere.
