OpenCloud

OpenCloud is a unified, native desktop application and suite manager for the open-source StoryTold creative software family. Built from the ground up in pure Rust, OpenCloud provides installation, update management, and launching for 12 creative and productivity applications without webviews or electron runtimes.

About OpenCloud

OpenCloud connects and coordinates independent open-source creative applications in one native desktop workspace:

  • Native Performance: Built in pure Rust with hardware-accelerated rendering via wgpu and egui.
  • Lightweight Footprint: Minimal memory usage (under 30 MB RAM) with fast startup times.
  • Application Management: One-click installation, background update checks, and clean uninstalls.
  • Offline Capability: Operates entirely locally with cached metadata and direct launch capabilities.
  • Cross-Platform: Consistent interface across macOS, Windows, and Linux.

Applications

The OpenCloud suite manages twelve independent open-source desktop applications:
