Tutorials

Each tutorial walks you through one task from start to finish, on one path that works. Do them in order the first time; each says what you need before you start.

1. Connect to your first host on the desktop: install the app, save a server and log in to it.
2. Connect to your first host on your phone: the same on Android, with the terminal’s key row.
3. Turn on end-to-end encrypted sync between two devices: an account on a sync server, a recovery kit and a second device.
4. Set up a team and share a vault: invite a teammate, compare safety numbers and share hosts.
5. Run your own sync server with Docker: start the server and create the first account on it.

For a task you already know you want to do, see the How-to guides. To understand why Sternway works the way it does, see Explanation.
