Station no longer working? Here's the current alternative

Station's developer shut the project down in 2023. Here's why you shouldn't rely on it anymore, compared to the actively maintained Centrio.

Updated: September 2026 · Reading time: ~5 min

Heads up: Station was one of the most recognizable early web-service aggregators, but its developer officially shut the project down in 2023. The app no longer receives updates or security patches, and individual integrations may break over time as the underlying services change.

Overview

Station

Was a lightweight, well-liked aggregator for startups and freelancers, but it hasn't been developed since 2023 — new users inherit all the risk that comes with unsupported software.

Centrio

An actively developed aggregator with official support, a built-in VPN, and out-of-the-box integrations for a broader range of regional services.

FAQ

Why did Station stop working or updating?

Station's developer announced the project was shutting down in 2023. Since then it has received no updates, security patches, or support — many integrations may have broken as the underlying services themselves changed.

Can I still use Station?

Technically the last build may still launch, but running it comes with real risk: unpatched vulnerabilities, and individual services increasingly likely to stop working as their own web versions change over time.

Will my services and settings carry over if I switch to Centrio?

There's no automatic migration from Station, but adding services to Centrio takes a couple of minutes — most messengers and web services just need a fresh sign-in via QR code or login, same as first-time setup.

What does Centrio offer beyond just still being supported?

Centrio also includes a built-in VPN with multiple protocols and out-of-the-box integration for a broader range of regional services.
