About XYST DECK
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. REQUIREMENTS XYST DECK is a surface for Bitfocus Companion (free at bitfocus.io/companion). You need a Companion 3.5+ instance on your network with the Satellite API enabled. XYST DECK does not control hardware on its own. Made for broadcasters, streamers, AV techs, houses of worship, and anyone who runs a show with Companion. XYST DECK is an independent app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Bitfocus AS.
