XYST DECK
Control surface for Companion
Free · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
XYST DECK turns your iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch into a clean, modern control
surface for Bitfocus Companion — the free software behind countless live shows,
streams, and studios.
Connect to Companion over your local network and your buttons appear instantly:
real labels, real colors, real on/off state, updating live as things change.
Tap to fire — presses go straight back to Companion. A full control surface
that's always in your pocket and on your wrist.
WHY XYST DECK
• Two-way and live. Built on Companion's Satellite protocol, so button feedback
(state, color, label) reflects in real time — not just fire-and-forget.
• Clean by design. Dark, calm tiles rendered from each button's text and color.
No more squinting at busy thumbnails.
• Universal. One app for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch, each laid out for its screen.
• On your wrist. The Apple Watch surface mirrors your phone — glance, tap, done.
• Private. No account, no analytics, no tracking. Everything stays on your
network and your devices.
TRY IT WITHOUT A SERVER
Turn on Demo mode in Settings to explore the full interface with sample pages —
no Companion needed.
