## What it is
Sandstorm is a self-hostable web productivity suite implemented as a security-hardened web app package manager. It lets users install and run open source web apps (documents, spreadsheets, chat, file storage, etc.) in per-grain sandboxes with unified access control.

## Use cases
- self-host web apps on my own server
- run open source web apps securely without managing each one
- install web apps as easily as phone apps
- sandbox untrusted web applications on a server
- share documents and files with fine-grained access control
- give a small team single sign-on across self-hosted apps
- keep my data out of SaaS clouds

## When to choose
- you want a one-click app-store experience for self-hosting many web apps
- strong per-app sandboxing and unified access control are priorities
- you want non-technical users to run their own server instances

## When to avoid
- you only need to run one or two specific apps, which are simpler to deploy directly
- you need apps that don't fit Sandstorm's packaging model
- you don't run an x86-64 Linux server

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: self-hosted, security, auth, authorization, web-framework, package-manager, container-runtime, file-upload, chat-interface
