OpenDeck is a desktop application for using stream controller devices like the Elgato Stream Deck on Linux, Windows, and macOS. OpenDeck supports plugins made for the original Stream Deck SDK, allowing many plugins made for the Elgato software ecosystem to be used, or the OpenAction API. Only Elgato hardware is officially supported, but plugins are available for support for other hardware vendors
Why use OpenDeck?
Stream Deck plugins: OpenDeck supports the majority of the Stream Deck plugins that users of the Elgato ecosystem are already familiar with, unlike other third-party softwares which are much more limited (e.g. streamdeck-ui, StreamController, Boatswain etc).
Cross-platform: OpenDeck supports Linux alongside Windows and macOS. macOS users also benefit from switching from the first-party Elgato software as OpenDeck can run plugins only built for Windows on Linux and macOS thanks to Wine. Additionally, profile files are easily moveable between platforms with no changes to them necessary.
Feature-packed: From Multi Actions and Toggle Actions to switching profiles when you switch apps and brightness control, OpenDeck has all the features you'd expect from stream controller software.
Open source: OpenDeck source code is licensed under the GNU General Public License, allowing anyone to view it and improve it for feature, stability, privacy or security reasons. Most plugins are open-source, too.
Written in Rust: The Rust programming language, which OpenDeck is built with alongside TypeScript, is known for its performance, safety and resulting code quality.
