When is it useful?

Choose the situation that matches your day-to-day work.

01 /

Confidential documents

You have finished working with documents and want to remove selected files. Review the scope, start the operation and check the outcome.

02 /

Working copies

Clear local working copies after a task is complete. The dedicated folder and Quick Capture help collect files for deletion.

03 /

Recurring cleanup

You regularly remove files you no longer need. Pro adds scheduling and deletion reports to simplify recurring work.

MindVaultEraser™ / Features in practice

From choosing files
to checking the outcome.

Choose the files, understand the plan and keep the operation record. Here is how the features fit into your day.

Choosing the deletion method

HDD, SSD, NVMe. Which method should you use?

EraseIQ™

EraseIQ™ is the deletion planning mechanism. It identifies the storage type and selects a supported method while accounting for the medium’s limitations.

Standard and ProSee how it works
The operation record

What did the application actually do?

Chain of Custody™

Chain of Custody™ is a local record of the operation’s stages: accepted files, the plan, actions performed and the outcome. It connects these details into one workflow with consistency checks for its entries.

Quick Capture

The files are on your desktop. Why find them again?

With Quick Capture active, hold Ctrl and drag a selection with the left mouse button on the desktop or in File Explorer. When you complete the gesture, the app moves accepted files to the special folder.

  1. Hold Ctrl.
  2. Drag a selection using the left mouse button.
  3. Release the mouse button while holding Ctrl.

This moves the files rather than creating another copy. With automation off, you start deletion yourself. Enabled Pro automation may start deletion according to your configured rules.

One place for files to remove

Working copies are left in different folders?

Special folder

The special folder is a dedicated folder you choose for MindVaultEraser™. It gathers material intended for deletion, including files passed in through Quick Capture.

Standard and ProSee how it works
Recurring tasks

Remembering the same cleanup every day?

Automation and scheduling

Pro can start deletion when new items are detected or on a schedule: at an interval, every day or on selected weekdays.

Pro and Pro Founders EditionSee how it works
A command for your prepared folder

Away from your computer, with the files already prepared?

Email-triggered deletion

After prior configuration, Pro receives an authenticated email command and passes the special folder’s contents into the same controlled deletion workflow.

Your storage type matters.

On SSDs and flash storage, the controller manages physical data writes. Deleting individual files cannot guarantee that every memory cell is cleared. Cloud copies, backups and copies elsewhere require separate removal.

MatechCode Engineering

Tools built
for control.

MatechCode is an independent project by Mateusz Tonkowicz. We are developing the MindVault series for people and teams who want to make informed decisions about their data. MindVaultEraser is the first product in the series.

We focus on local processing, understandable messages and an honest description of capabilities. Product questions go directly to the developer.

Good to know

A few answers
before you start.

Have another question?
support@matechcode.com

Does it work with SSDs?

Yes. The plan takes SSDs and flash storage into account. Controller limitations mean that deleting an individual file cannot guarantee clearing every physical memory cell.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

Deletion runs locally. The content of deleted files is not sent to our licensing service. An internet connection is needed for activation and periodic license validation, among other online features.

What happens if an operation is interrupted?

The app records progress in a journal. Operation recovery helps identify remaining items and complete the work. Results and warnings are included in the report.

When can I buy the app?

The planned launch date is 28 September 2026. It may change. After you confirm your signup, we will email you when the app is available.
