Been going to festivals and house parties for years and my crew always has the same problem: nobody knows what's left in the candy stash, who took the last of the good stuff, and everyone always grabs more than they should.

So I built Stash - a self-hosted party candy tracker with full synthwave aesthetics because if it doesn't glow neon pink, I don't want it.

The Rush-O-Meter

The star feature. Every item you track has a configurable rush factor and decay time. Your personal meter fills up as you consume and drains over time. It goes through stages:

CHILL > WARMING UP > HYPED > FULL RAVE > OVERDRIVE > COMA

There's a little mascot that changes mood as your meter rises. Very useful for knowing when to maybe chill for a bit. Or not. I'm not your mom.

What it does

Shared inventory - everyone in your crew sees the same stash. One tap to take.
Per-item rush settings - energy drinks hit different than gummy bears. Set rush factor (0.1-10x) and decay time (30 min to 8 hours) per item
Low stock alerts - cards pulse neon pink when you're running low. Optional email alerts so someone can do a restock run
Consumption charts - 7-day and 12-month history so you can see exactly who demolished the Skittles
Activity feed - full audit trail. No more "it wasn't me" when the cola bottles vanish
Invite system - generate codes for your crew, set expiry and use limits
Works on your phone - designed mobile-first, looks great in the dark

Happy raving. Track your candy. Stay hydrated.

I know this has probably been asked a thousand times already, so apologies for adding to the pile, but I haven't seen a clear answer anywhere.

Are there any plans to bring managed downloads (auto-download next unwatched episodes) back in the new app? I travel a lot for business and this is genuinely the main reason I use Plex.

Having the next few unwatched episodes of my shows automatically synced to my phone or tablet so I can watch them on the plane is exactly the workflow I built around Plex over the years. Manually picking and downloading individual episodes every time I travel is a huge step backwards.

I've been a lifetime Plex Pass user for years and have happily recommended it to plenty of people. But if managed downloads aren't coming back, honestly there aren't many reasons left for me to stick around. Jellyfin handles a lot of what I need now, and the only real differentiator left for me was this.

Would love to hear from anyone with insight into the roadmap, or even just confirmation either way.
