Your AI interface. Your machine. Your rules.
Stedfast is a self-hosted AI interface built for power users who are done with bloated, leaky, npm-dependent tools.
The current options are a mess.
npm all the way down.
Every popular AI interface drags Node.js and hundreds of packages onto your machine. That's hundreds of unaudited dependencies with network access.
Prompt bloat kills local LLM performance.
Open source tools inject invisible text into every request. With a small context window and slow tokens/sec, that overhead is not acceptable.
Open source means your config is an attack surface.
Publicly visible codebases make it easier to craft exploits against your specific setup. 42,000+ instances already exposed with no authentication.
Built differently. On purpose.
- .NET backend, vanilla JS frontend. Zero npm. Ever.
- One Docker command:
docker run -p 8080:8080 -v ./data:/app/data stedfast - Works with Ollama, LM Studio, and OpenAI-compatible endpoints
- Sends exactly what you configure — nothing appended silently
- System monitor shows every byte sent to your LLM in real time
- Closed source — the attack surface stays small by design
- Single self-contained binary. No runtime dependencies.
