Smokestack is built for the bold. The self-taught, the underdogs, the ones who build, break, learn, repeat. Studios held together with duct tape and ambition. Small teams punching way above their weight. The brave ones who start. And the stubborn ones who finish. It's designed to give you studio grade firepower with freelance flexibility.
Launch, connect to and delete your workstations from one dashboard, and see exactly where your credits go.
Pick the applications you need when you launch, down to the exact version. They're installed as the workstation boots, so your tools are waiting when the stream opens.
Workstations are disposable; your work isn't. A persistent NVMe storage pool attaches to every workstation you launch and survives when you delete it. Between sessions, browse, preview and download your files straight from the dashboard.
Connect with one click, no client to install. Hardware-encoded video streams straight to your browser, with every control you need in a panel on the edge of the screen.
