Reviewer FAQ
Is VaultKind available to install today?
Not yet. VaultKind 1.0 is currently in release-candidate validation. The source code is public, and reviewers can request early access through the contact form.
Does VaultKind create its own vault format?
No. VaultKind works with Cryptomator-compatible vaults so users can keep the encrypted format they already trust.
Does VaultKind upload vaults for diagnostics?
No. Vault Doctor performs read-only checks on your computer. Using VaultKind does not require a VaultKind cloud service.
Who is VaultKind for?
If you've ever wanted encrypted storage to feel like a normal Windows application instead of a technical project, VaultKind is for you.
