Adaptive control surfaces

Context in.Surfaces that answer.

why stoatos

A platform for adaptive interfaces.

StoatOS is for enthusiasts and prosumers who want local control, hardware integration, live state, and custom workflows — not a smart-home brand, a Stream Deck utility, or a generic cloud dashboard.

Perceive what is happening

Pull live signals from tools, devices, spaces, and agents so the interface knows which moment you are in.

Speak many surfaces

Compose the same interaction ideas across grids, dials, touch strips, and compact embedded displays.

Stay local-first

Your environment stays on your hardware. This website is acquisition, education, and account infrastructure — not the runtime.

how it works

From live state to adaptive surfaces

  1. 1. Connect sources of state

    Point StoatOS at the systems that already describe your world — home automation, games and simulations, agents, and local tools.

    Explore compatibility
  2. 2. Compose context

    Decide which signals matter for a moment: who is present, what is running, what an agent is doing, what the room or game needs next.

  3. 3. Render across surfaces

    The same composed context can drive different hardware — from Stream Deck-class key grids to dials and ESP32-class panels.

  4. 4. Interact and adapt locally

    As state changes, surfaces update on your machine. You customize the environment; StoatOS keeps the interaction language coherent.

Live context

Interfaces that change with the moment.

StoatOS is about presenting the right controls and status for what is happening now — across the surfaces you already own.

  • Home Assistant and similar systems as ambient state.
  • Games and simulations like Factorio as rich, local context.
  • Agents that listen, think, and respond as first-class participants.

Hardware breadth

Built for the surfaces you already care about.

Desks, studios, workshops, gaming setups, connected rooms, and embedded projects are examples of where adaptive interfaces show up — not mutually exclusive product verticals.

  • Stream Deck+ and Stream Deck XL class grids.
  • VSD / Stream Dock and dial or touch-strip surfaces.
  • ESP32-class compact displays and custom embeds.

faq

Straight answers about the product.

Is the website StoatOS?

No. StoatOS is a local-first desktop control-surface platform. This site is the commercial web surface: product education, account and access pathways, downloads when published, and support. It is not a browser-hosted version of StoatOS.

Is StoatOS a smart-home product or a Stream Deck app?

Neither. Smart-home systems and Stream Deck-class hardware are important surfaces and sources of state. StoatOS is the adaptive layer that connects live context to many kinds of hardware.

Who is it for right now?

Enthusiasts and prosumers who want local control, hardware integration, live state, and custom workflows — people already assembling connected spaces, creative setups, games, automation, and agent-assisted work.

Can I download StoatOS today?

Signed desktop builds will appear on Downloads when a release channel is published. Until then, explore the product story and compatibility matrix for what is being proven.
