Media Stash is a local-first workspace for movies, TV shows, books, games, and the people and companies behind them. Open it in your browser, install it as a PWA, and keep your library close without handing your history to another service.
The release plan
The first release is focused on a great browser experience. Native platform apps will follow when they are ready.
Use Media Stash in any modern browser or add it to your home screen for an app-like experience. Your library stays in this browser and on this device. There is no account, so changing browsers or devices will not carry your data over automatically.
We are improving the web app experience before working on native releases. When they are ready, each app will be a very small one-time payment. Pay only if you want a native build: it supports Media Stash and gives you access to that platform release. Multi-device support is planned too, but is not available yet.
Yours means yours
Media Stash gives you the useful parts of a tracker without turning your taste into a product.
Your lists and follows live in your browser. There is no account layer, community feature service, or hosted multi-device sync right now.
Media Stash connects from your browser to the provider APIs you configure with your own API keys. We do not provide the metadata service or proxy your media history.
Follow and track actors, creators, artists, film studios, game companies, authors, and more alongside the titles they make.
Changing browsers or devices will not carry your library over. Export a backup before switching, then import it on the other browser or device.

Common questions
Media Stash is intentionally different from an account-based tracker. Here is what that means for your data, devices, and day-to-day use.
On the web, your library lives in this browser's local IndexedDB storage. Native apps use local SQLite storage. There is no hosted account layer holding your library.
Not automatically today. Media Stash does not have hosted multi-device sync yet. To move your library, export a backup on one device, transfer the JSON file, and import it on the other.
Open Settings → Data, choose Export Backup, and keep the resulting JSON file somewhere safe. On the destination device, choose Import Backup and review the preview before confirming.
No. A regular library backup never includes provider API keys. To move them between devices, use Export API Keys in the Provider API Keys section; Media Stash creates a separate password-encrypted file that you import separately. The password cannot be recovered.
Your saved library and local settings remain available on the device. Discovery, metadata refreshes, provider searches, and some remote artwork need an internet connection and a configured provider.
The current workspace supports movies, TV series, books, and games, plus the people, authors, and companies behind them. You can organize saved items with statuses, collections, and progress.
Yes. The developer docs publish a versioned JSON Schema and explain the identity rules. Start at the backup schema, then preserve provider, externalId, and mediaType together.
The web app is free forever and installable as a PWA. Native platform apps are planned as small one-time purchases when they are ready; multi-device support is a later consideration.
The web app is ready now, free forever, and built to stay out of your way.
