Your Library.
Your Business. Nobody Else's.
No accounts. No tracking. No cloud uploads. No data collection. StashDeck runs entirely on your machine—your music library stays private, always.
What Other DJ Software Knows About You
Cloud-based DJ tools collect more data than you might think.
What Cloud Services Track
- Every track you own — uploaded for "analysis"
- Your listening habits — what you play, when, how often
- Your gig schedule — inferred from activity patterns
- Your unreleased edits — stored on their servers
- Purchase patterns — what labels and artists you buy from
What StashDeck Collects
Nothing
Zero data leaves your computer
How StashDeck Protects Your Privacy
Privacy isn't a feature we added—it's how the software is built from the ground up.
100% Local Processing
All audio analysis—BPM detection, key detection, energy analysis—runs on your CPU. Nothing is sent to external servers.
Uses WebAssembly for near-native performance
No Account Required
Download, install, use. No email. No password. No "sign in with Google." No identity linked to your library.
You're a user, not a data point

Analysis, organization, and export work without internet

Uninstall removes everything—nothing left behind
Why Privacy Matters for DJs
Your music library is more than files—it's your competitive edge.
Your Selection is Your Brand
The tracks you dig for, the edits you make, the combinations you discover—that's what makes you unique. Cloud services can see (and potentially share) your entire curation strategy.
Unreleased Tracks Stay Unreleased
Promos from labels, exclusive edits from producer friends, your own works-in-progress—these shouldn't exist on anyone's server but yours.
Your Data Has Value
Listening patterns, genre preferences, purchase behavior—this data is valuable to labels, promoters, and streaming services. You should decide who gets it.
Global Privacy Compliance
Playing international gigs? Different countries have different data laws. Local-only software means you never have to worry about where your data "lives."

Privacy Questions
Does StashDeck ever phone home?
The only network request StashDeck makes is an optional check for updates (which you can disable). Core functionality—analysis, organization, export—works completely offline.
Where is my library data stored?
In a local SQLite database file in your app data folder. You can back it up, move it between machines, or delete it entirely. We never see it.
What about crash reports?
We don't collect automatic crash reports. If you encounter a bug, you can optionally copy error details to report via our Discord or GitHub—but it's always your choice.
Will you add cloud sync later?
Cloud sync is on the roadmap as an optional feature for users who want it. It will never be required, and local-only mode will always be fully supported.
