Get Started

Two ways to start.
One private foundation.

Haven is the ready-to-use workspace that lets your team try the MindooDB platform in a browser today. The MindooDB SDK is the open-source data layer underneath - embed it in your own product or build apps for Haven. Both paths share the same end-to-end encryption, offline-first sync, and signed history.

Path 1 · For teams & users

Try Haven

Open Haven in your browser, install it as a PWA, and start collaborating with your team in minutes - encrypted by default, offline-first, no server setup required.

Free beta at haven.mindoodb.com - no credit card.
Install on iPhone, iPad, Android, macOS, Windows, or Linux.
Use the demo server, run locally, or point it at your own MindooDB server.

Path 2 · For developers

Build with the MindooDB SDK

Install the SDK in Node.js, the browser, or React Native and ship your first encrypted, offline-first synced document in an afternoon. The same SDK powers Haven and any custom app you build on top of it.

One SDK, three runtimes, zero plaintext on the wire.
Same data layer powering Haven and the MindooDB App SDK.
Building a Haven app instead? Head to Apps & SDK from the Haven menu.

Not sure which path? If you want a product to use today, choose Haven. If you want to embed encrypted sync in your own software, choose the SDK. You can always combine both.

Platform guides

Each guide walks you from install to a working synced document. All three runtimes speak the same protocol and can sync with each other.

Node.js

CLI / server quickstart with verified output.

Web Browser

Use mindoodb/browser with Web Crypto.

React Native

Native-first setup via mindoodb setup-react-native.

Copy & run

Quickstart: tenant, document, sync

One call creates the tenant with admin + user keys, KeyBag, and directory registration. This is the same code on every platform — only the import path changes.

import {
  BaseMindooTenantFactory,
  InMemoryContentAddressedStoreFactory,
} from "mindoodb";

const storeFactory = new InMemoryContentAddressedStoreFactory();
const factory = new BaseMindooTenantFactory(storeFactory);

// 1) Create tenant — generates admin + user keys, KeyBag, and directory
const { tenant, adminUser, appUser, keyBag } = await factory.createTenant({
  tenantId: "acme",
  adminName: "cn=admin/o=acme",
  adminPassword: "admin-password",
  userName: "cn=alice/o=acme",
  userPassword: "alice-password",
});

// 2) Create a document
const db = await tenant.openDB("contacts");
const doc = await db.createDocument();
await db.changeDoc(doc, (d) => { d.getData().name = "John Doe"; });

// 3) Publish tenant to server + push encrypted changes
await tenant.publishToServer("https://sync.acme.com", {
  registerUsers: [factory.toPublicUserId(appUser)],
});
const remote = await tenant.connectToServer("https://sync.acme.com", "contacts");
await db.pushChangesTo(remote);

🔒 MindooDB Sync Server — stores & relays ciphertext, never sees plaintext

Every MindooDB client — whether running on a Node.js backend, a web frontend, or a React Native app — speaks the same encrypted sync protocol. The server stores and relays ciphertext without ever seeing plaintext. Users can work offline and sync seamlessly when connectivity returns.
