March 2026 – Migration to Next.js
We have completely migrated the platform from Express/EJS to a modern Next.js architecture. This isn't just a UI refresh – it’s a total rewrite focused on performance and user experience.
- App Router & RSC: Leveraging Next.js App Router and React Server Components for faster page loads and seamless navigation.
- Shadcn/ui Integration: The entire interface has been rebuilt using shadcn/ui and Tailwind CSS, providing a consistent, accessible, and polished look.
- Documentation via Velite: Our documentation is now powered by Velite and MDX, allowing for type-safe content management and interactive code examples.
- Client-Side Interactivity: Replaced static EJS templates with dynamic React components, enabling a much richer user experience.
March 2026 – WebStray Authenticator Release
We are excited to announce the official release of WebStray Authenticator – a next-generation desktop password manager built with a "local-first" philosophy.
Engineering a Modern Experience
Using a reactive stack powered by React 19, Vite 7, and NW.js, we’ve created an interface that feels as fluid as a native application while maintaining the flexibility of the web. The entire UI is built on shadcn/ui and tailwindcss, delivering a polished, accessible, and hardware-accelerated experience that instantly responds to user interaction.
Privacy Without Compromise
WebStray Authenticator employs a Zero-Knowledge model, meaning your master password and sensitive data never leave your machine. Every database is cryptographically bound to your specific Machine ID using AES-256-GCM encryption. This hardware-level tie ensures that even if your database file is compromised, it remains an unreadable cipher on any unauthorized device.
Built for Power Users
Efficiency is at the heart of our design. With the integrated Command Palette, execute global actions through a keyboard-centric workflow. Furthermore, the core is engineered for extensibility; a robust Plugin System implementing Dependency Injection allows developers to build custom modules, making WebStray Authenticator not just a tool, but a platform for secure data management.
Get Started
The official installer is now available for Windows. For power users on macOS and Linux, you can easily build WebStray Authenticator from source using nw-builder.
