I always envied people with a Stream Deck, so I built my own for iPhone and Mac. It's called "SideDeck:, and it just launched. Put your iPhone on a stand under your monitor, and its buttons change automatically to match the app you're using on your Mac. What you can do: - Create a separate deck for each app - Switch decks automatically based on the app you're using on your Mac (Smart Deck) - Restore a saved window layout with one press - Assign an app's actual menu items using macOS Accessibility, including actions with no keyboard shortcut - Start quickly with built-in templates There's no account or server, and your iPhone and Mac don't even need to be on the same Wi-Fi network. As long as Wi-Fi is turned on and they're close to each other, they connect directly with end-to-end encryption. You edit everything in the free Mac app. The free version includes the 2×4 layout. Pro is a one-time $5.99 purchase that adds larger layouts and advanced options. Honestly, I don't think Pro offers enough yet, so I'm considering adding a wider range of widgets, like Claude usage and system status. So I'm curious: if you use a Stream Deck or something similar, how do you actually use it?
