Product tour

One place for the people and plans in your day.

Stich treats communication as a connected activity, not a pile of separate tools. The LCARS interface gives each action a distinct place without making the screen feel busy.

COMMS 01

Everything connected

Move from a message to a person or plan without losing the thread. Mail, calendars, and contacts share one clear language.

Less app-switching, more context

COMMS 02

Fast where it matters

Stich keeps a useful local view of your information, so opening, sorting, and organizing feels immediate.

Your day does not wait on a spinner

COMMS 03

A home you control

Stich is open source and built for a mail server you choose. Your communication does not need to fund an attention business.

Private by ownership, not a slogan

A day with Stich

From incoming message to settled plan.

The interface keeps the next useful action close, without turning your attention into a metric.

  1. 01

    See what changed

    New messages and upcoming plans surface together, with priority expressed through color.

  2. 02

    Act without detours

    Reply, find a person, or check a date while the original conversation stays in view.

  3. 03

    Leave with a clear bridge

    Read state, drafts, and changes stay organized so the next visit begins calmly.
