Your Mint guidebook
This guide walks you through keeping your personal files organised, secure, and easy to share while understanding our privacy-first architecture, transparent pricing, and open roadmap commitments.
Smart Collections
Mint automatically organises your personal library so photos, scans, and documents are easy to find without creating endless folders.
- •Collections start with Everyday, Photos, Documents, Receipts, and Memories to cover the essentials.
- •Create your own spaces for travel, school, or hobbies - Mint keeps the original files where they belong.
- •Pinned collections surface storage usage and recent changes so you know what is growing fastest.
Daily Timeline
Follow everything Mint has synced in one calm stream - from new uploads to links you have shared with family.
- •Timeline cards rotate automatically to highlight notable uploads and shared items.
- •Badges show file size, device source, and sharing status for quick context.
- •Filters let you narrow the view to photos, documents, or recently shared items.
Storage Insights
Visual bars and tips help you keep plenty of free space without deleting the things that matter.
- •Percentages show how much space each collection uses compared to your current plan.
- •Hints recommend archiving oversized items or moving them to cold storage for long-term safekeeping.
- •Mint can auto-prune duplicates or low-quality photos if you enable Clean Up mode.
Backup Planner
Schedule recurring uploads and device sync windows so Mint works quietly in the background.
- •Toggle between Today and This Week to preview upcoming backups and reminders.
- •Impact badges (high/medium/low) let you prioritise the backups that matter most right now.
- •Helpful notes explain when Mint pauses backups to protect your battery or bandwidth.
Quick Actions
Shortcuts for the tasks you do often - from scanning paperwork to sharing a new album with family.
- •Each action opens the exact Mint workspace or feature you need in a single click.
- •Suggested actions adapt based on the season (tax time, holidays, back to school).
Core Capabilities Roadmap
Deeper platform features that keep your private cloud fast, secure, and organised the moment they ship.
- •Zero-knowledge encryption powered by client-side WebCrypto so your keys never leave your device.
- •Chunked uploads with pause, resume, and parallel transfer streams for resilient, high-speed syncing.
- •LAN-local transfer fallback that discovers your devices on the same network and switches to WebRTC peer-to-peer.
- •Intelligent sync with selective folders plus a smart cache of your most recent files for quick offline access.
- •Rules engine that reacts on upload, rename, or when a file ages past X days, triggering tag, move, archive, or optional delete actions.
- •Built-in file conversion so you can move between PNG, JPEG, WebP, ICO, AVIF, and more without leaving Mint or exposing files to third parties.
- •AI-assisted organisation including content-based tagging, natural language search ("photos from Rome in June"), and duplicate detection.
- •OCR pipeline for documents and images so every word is searchable across your library.
- •Productivity upgrades such as global keyboard shortcuts, batch operations, and instant search surfaces.
- •Secure share links that keep the decryption key in the URL fragment and support optional passphrases.
