Statio Deploy support

support@alessandroaiello.com

To report a problem it helps a lot to know: Mac model, macOS version, app version (in Statio Deploy › About Statio Deploy), the command of the app that does not start and the last lines of its log.

Frequently asked questions

The command works in Terminal but not in Statio Deploy.

Statio Deploy runs the command in the zsh login shell, which reads .zprofile and .zshrc. If the command depends on something you set elsewhere (for example in .bash_profile, or only in the open Terminal window), it is not there. Move that setup into one of the zsh files, or put the full path of the program in the command field. The app's log shows the exact error.

It says the port is in use, but nothing is running.

Usually it is a copy of the app left running in a terminal, or a process that survived a crash. The warning tells you who is using the port, and you can stop it from there. See Ports in use.

I changed the .env but the app still uses the old values.

The app reads its .env when it starts: it needs a restart (⇧⌘R). Statio Deploy reminds you with a banner when you save the file of a running app.

The .env lost a comment, or something else changed.

That should not happen: the lines you do not edit are written back unchanged. In the meantime, the previous version is in ~/Library/Application Support/Local Deploy/env-backups/, and you can restore it from there. Then write to me, with the file before and after if you can.

When I quit Statio Deploy my apps stop. Can I avoid that?

No, it is intentional: an app started by Statio Deploy stays tied to it, so that no process is left running without you knowing. If you need an app that keeps running regardless of Statio Deploy, start it from Terminal.

Statio Deploy says some apps were left running.

This happens after an unexpected quit: the apps started before are still running. You can stop them or ignore them. See Processes left running.

I do not get notifications.

Check that they are on in Statio Deploy's Settings and, in System Settings › Notifications, that Statio Deploy is allowed. Notifications only arrive when an app exits on its own, not when you stop it.

Why is it not on the App Store?

App Store apps run in a sandbox, which does not allow running commands in your project folders with your environment, reading and writing .env files wherever they are, and stopping the processes started. That is exactly what Statio Deploy does, so it is downloaded from here, signed and notarized by Apple.

How do I update it?

There is no automatic update. New versions are published on the app's page: download the DMG and replace the app in the Applications folder. Your data stays where it is.

Is the interface available in English?

Not yet: for now it is in Italian only. The guide gives the meaning of every button and field.

How do I uninstall it completely?

Quit Statio Deploy, move it to the Trash and, if you also want to remove the data, delete the ~/Library/Application Support/Local Deploy/ folder. Your project folders are not touched.

How do I connect Claude Code, Cursor or another AI agent?

In Settings › Agenti AI turn access on, choose the permissions and copy your client's configuration from Configura un client. See AI agents. ChatGPT on the web is not supported: the server can only be reached from your Mac.

Report a problem or suggest an idea

Every report is read. If a project is not recognized, or the suggested command is wrong, tell me what kind of project it is and which files are in its root folder: it is the quickest way to teach it to Statio Deploy.
