StaxSuite documentation #
StaxSuite is the desktop pillar of StaxDash: a local-first office suite that runs entirely on your own machine — no cloud account, no telemetry. It is an umbrella brand over several independently released repositories so each tool can grow and ship on its own rhythm.
Why separate repositories? #
The apps began as modules inside a single large StaxOffice repository. That was a fun concept but impractical to expand: every change touched one giant tree and the release of one app blocked the others. The suite was therefore split into independent projects, each with its own issue tracker, CI, versioning, and release cadence:
| App | Command | Tier | Repository |
|---|---|---|---|
| StaxOffice (free launcher) | staxoffice |
Free | StaxDash/StaxOffice |
| StaxMD (Markdown editor) | staxmd |
Paid | StaxDash/staxmd |
| StaxWord (word processor) | staxword |
Paid | StaxDash/staxword |
| StaxCode (code editor) | staxcode |
Paid | StaxDash/staxcode |
| StaxKB (kanban board) | staxkb |
Paid | StaxDash/staxkb |
The free StaxOffice launcher dispatches to the editors by command; paid
modules are licensed through StaxStore. The umbrella repository
(StaxDash/staxsuite) holds the
suite.toml manifest that drives edition gating and the install helper.
Status #
The split is complete; each app is implemented and maintained in its own repo with its own tests. StaxSuite as a finished commercial release (edition gating, StaxStore billing, packaging) is still planned — see the PRD and the organization roadmap.
