StreamStash is a self-hosted Windows desktop app that archives social media to your own drives. Point it at the creators you follow across 13 platforms (TikTok, X/Twitter, YouTube, Twitch, Kick, Instagram, Threads, Telegram, Reddit, Snapchat Spotlight, XenForo forums, web album hosts, and Discord) and it automatically downloads their new posts, live streams, VODs, stories, and slideshows the moment they go up. One app replaces a dozen separate downloaders and cron jobs. Built for data hoarders, researchers, and archivists who want a complete local copy, not a cloud account. Everything runs on your machine: no upload, no telemetry, no subscription.
