What changed.

Every release of the server and the apps. Your server shows the same notes before it updates.

Server0.1.0Oct 3, 2026

The first one

The first build of the Stavo server: your own Drive on your own hardware. It runs on your NAS, keeps your files on your disks and puts them on your own domain. The server and the web app are free.

What's in it

  • Drive: folders, search, versions, a 30 day trash, resumable uploads and duplicate cleanup.
  • Docs, Sheets, Slides and Code in the browser, edited live with everyone on your server. Code has an optional sandboxed terminal.
  • Notes and databases: Markdown notes with links, backlinks, tags and daily notes, plus databases with table, board, calendar and gallery views.
  • Photos: timeline, albums, map, people and smart search for everything your iPhone backs up.
  • Sharing: links on your domain with passwords, expiry and burn after viewing, and proper previews in Discord, Slack and iMessage.
  • Spaces: shared drives for a family, a club or a project.
  • Secure Vault: end-to-end encrypted, your server only stores ciphertext.
  • Assistant: works on your files with the AI you pick (Claude recommended, OpenAI, Gemini, Ollama or anything OpenAI-compatible). @-mentions, / commands and your own commands. Edits wait for review.
  • MCP server for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and claude.ai.
  • Plugins from the official catalog, or sideload your own.
  • Your data, portable: move to another Stavo server in one go, or download everything in open formats.
  • Updates: release notes in the dashboard and one click updates with a database backup first.
  • CleanShot import that keeps the original IDs, so old links keep working.

Good to know

  • First visit goes to /setup to make the admin account.
  • A license key is optional. It only unlocks the native apps after their trial.
Mac app0.1.0Oct 3, 2026

Hello, Mac

The first build of Stavo for Mac: Drive, Notes, Photos, the Vault and capture in one app.

What's in it

  • Your Drive in Finder, with files on demand, and backup for the folders you pick.
  • Notes, Docs, Sheets, Slides and Code in native windows, edited live with your people.
  • Photos from your server, and the Vault, unlocked with your passphrase.
  • Capture in the menu bar: area, window or full screen, recording and GIFs, with annotation. ⌥⇧1, ⌥⇧2 and ⌥⇧3 by default.
  • Assistant tab and quick ask (⌥⇧C), on whatever AI your server uses.
  • Share menu: "Save to Stavo" and "Ask Assistant" from any app.
  • Connect to your server in one click, no tokens to copy.

Good to know

  • macOS 14 or newer.
  • 30 days of everything on every Mac, then unlocked by a license (yours or your server's).
  • It asks for Screen Recording permission the first time you capture. That's the only way a Mac lets apps see the screen.
