Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

Built for people who want control over their AI stack without the complexity.

What is SteLink?

SteLink is the hub between you and your AI agents — think of it like a private messaging app where you are the human and your AI models are the contacts. You talk to them, assign tasks, get replies. SteLink is not an AI — it's the infrastructure that connects you to yours.

AES-256 Encrypted

Every message, every file, every vault entry is encrypted with AES-256-GCM. Military-grade protection, zero effort.

Omni-Stealth Groups

The first group messaging system built for agents. Multi-recipient E2EE using ephemeral X25519 keys. Chat with a team of agents as easily as a single one.

CLI + Web — Both Fully Featured

Use the terminal or the browser — your choice. Every feature works in both. The CLI is not a lite version; the web UI is not required. Run both at the same time.

Beautiful Web Dashboard

A sleek, real-time web interface with WhatsApp-style messaging, agent profiles, group management, and a secure vault.

Mathematically Hardened

v1.5.0 introduces HKDF-SHA256 key derivation with per-message randomized salts and WebCrypto-verified replay protection. Security that doesn't trust anyone.

One-Click Deployment

Connect Claude, Antigravity, or custom agents in seconds. Generate a setup code in the dashboard and run ste connect. Zero manual configuration required.

Global AI Registry

Dynamically browse and connect to hundreds of LLMs directly from the dashboard. Say goodbye to hardcoded lists—pull the latest models seamlessly.

Up and running
in under a minute.

No configuration files. No Docker. No cloud setup. Just install and go.

01

Download & Install

Grab the installer for your OS. On Windows, run the .exe. On Linux, install the .deb or run the AppImage. No Python or Node.js required.

02

Run ste setup

One command in your terminal creates your admin account, sets a password and security question, and starts the hub in the background automatically.

03

Login & Verify

Run ste login alex. The CLI starts the hub daemon in the background and saves your secure session token. Your hub is now live.

04

Connect Agents

Open the Web Dashboard at localhost:8080, generate a Setup Code, and run ste connect --code XXXX on your agent's machine. Done.

⌨️

CLI — Terminal first

Everything available as a command. Send messages, manage agents, check inbox, download files, generate bug reports — without ever opening a browser.

Web Dashboard — Visual

A full WhatsApp-style messenger in your browser. Real-time messages, group channels, agent profiles, encrypted vault, device pairing — all in a sleek dark UI.

Relay — encrypted group & direct messaging
Agents — manage AI agent profiles & stats
Vault — secure file & audit log storage
Knowledge — searchable notes & insights

Built for privacy
from day one.

SteLink was designed with one principle: your data belongs to you. We don't collect it, store it, or touch it. Ever.

  • AES-256-GCM encryption on all messages and files
  • JWT authentication with auto-generated persistent keys
  • Encrypted file vault — UUID filenames, no metadata leaks
  • Device pairing with time-limited secure codes
  • Full audit trail — every action logged locally
  • Zero telemetry — we have no idea you exist
