Projects and Home
How StackHangar groups your logins, keys, subscriptions and domains by project, and how the Home page ranks what needs attention.
A project is one product you run. Everything that product depends on (logins, API keys, databases, subscriptions, domains and certificates) is stored as an item under it. This page explains how projects, Home and the Projects list fit together.
#Home
Home is the first page you see after you unlock your vault. It answers one question: what needs attention, most urgent first.
It shows three tiles:
- Expired or due in 7 days: how many items and business dates are already past due or due within a week.
- Due in 30 days: how many are due in the following weeks.
- Monthly recurring cost: your account plans and subscriptions added together, one amount per currency. Amounts in different currencies are never converted. See Plans, limits and costs.
Below the tiles:
- Waiting on you lists playbook runs that have a step waiting for you, with an Open launch link. See Playbooks.
- The action list groups findings under Expired, Next 7 days, Next 30 days, Provider changes and Hygiene. See Findings for what puts something in each group.
- Renewal calendar shows the next 60 days of expiries, renewals and rotation dates. Each row is tagged Auto-charges (subscriptions), Auto-renews (domains with auto-renew on), Rotate or Needs action.
If you have no projects or items yet, Home shows a short getting-started card instead. See Quickstart.
#What you can do with a finding
Each finding on Home has buttons:
- Fix starts the Rotate playbook for that item. If a run is already in progress it says Resume. See Rotate a key.
- Mark renewed (for expiries and renewals) asks for the new date and saves it. For a rotation reminder the button is Mark rotated and sets the last rotated date to today.
- Snooze hides the finding with a reason. The snooze is not saved: the finding comes back when you reload the page.
- Explain shows an optional AI explanation. See AI explanations.
If you have only one passkey, Home also shows a banner reminding you to add a second one. See Passkeys.
#The Projects list
Projects lists every project in a table: name, status, environments, number of items, how many need attention, and monthly cost. Select a project to open it.
The buttons at the top are New project and Launch a product. See Create and manage a project.
#A project page
A project page shows:
- A summary with Items needing attention, Renewals in the next 90 days and Monthly recurring cost.
- Tabs for Keys & databases, Subscriptions, Domains & certificates, Logins and Accounts used. On a phone these sections are stacked instead of tabbed.
- Add a service (on active projects) and Add item.
- A Runs list when the project has playbook runs.
- Project settings for renaming, status, environments, sunset and delete.
Values are masked in the lists. Open an item to reveal one. See Items.
