Your library is yours.
Stow is built to stay out of the cloud. The defaults are calm, quiet, and on your device.
Unless you explicitly import or transfer them yourself.
Title, artist, album, and filename hints — never your audio, paths, or library structure.
A temporary local-network service that runs only while Stow is open. No accounts, no cloud.
None in the app today.
