Live preview rendered from VibeDeck's real key states.

Six coding agents

One combined inbox or separate keys.

Selected-session control

Tap once. The rest of the deck follows.

Local-first plugin

No product telemetry or VibeDeck account.

What your subscription unlocks

One plugin. A complete agent-control deck.

Select a session from its live card, then use the rest of your keys and Stream Deck+ dials to control that target.

Tap a sessionChoose the Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot CLI, Antigravity, or OpenCode session you want.

See the white ringThe card stays selected after a completed turn until you choose another session.

Control the targetUse effort, model, presets, or your own command without rebuilding the key each time.

Sessions

Use one prioritized inbox or one key per agent. Tap to select and focus; hold a completed card to dismiss it.

Stuck Turns

A pulsing amber border, “stuck 12m” label, and one-time sound flag a working turn past its threshold. Set the 10-minute global default or override each key. Hold sends Ctrl-C in iTerm2, tmux, or Ghostty when dictation is off; elsewhere it focuses. VibeDeck never interrupts automatically.

Swarm

See working, waiting, and done totals on one urgency-colored key. Tap the oldest waiting session or cycle live sessions; filter by agent. The last completion gets a flourish, with an optional chime.

Approve / Deny

Handle supported prompts directly, including managed Codex sessions on macOS; other Codex sessions keep terminal prompts.

Reasoning Effort

Control Claude Code or managed macOS Codex from a key. Unmanaged and Windows Codex sessions open the native picker.

Model

Switch Claude models and managed macOS Codex models directly. Other Codex sessions keep the native picker.

Agent Config

Apply saved effort/model presets directly to Claude Code or managed Codex sessions on macOS.

Custom Command

Send your own text, such as /compact, while keeping your chosen Stream Deck title and icon.

Push Dictation

Hold a session key to speak. Preview the transcript or English translation in the terminal, then tap to run it.

Usage

See Claude Code 5-hour, weekly, or Fable usage and Codex weekly usage without another dashboard.

Burn Rate

Track Claude Code’s 5-hour or weekly limit pace from statusline data. See %/h with a sparkline or weekly pace with seven daily bars; self-calibrating HOT and CRIT tiers compare your burn with what can last until reset. Read-only: it never changes model or effort.

Sounds

Choose global approval, question, error, and stuck-turn alerts, or mute every VibeDeck alert instantly.

Keep Awake

Prevent idle sleep on macOS and Windows. An optional, administrator-approved mode can also keep supported laptops awake with the lid closed.

Minimize Window

Clear the desktop without stopping the agent. Minimize the selected session’s window where strict terminal targeting is available, then tap its session card to return.

Signed updates

VibeDeck verifies update signatures and file hashes before installation.

Six agent CLIs

Compatibility work continues as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot CLI, Antigravity, and OpenCode change.

Hands-free prompting · explicit send

Talk to your terminal. Keep the final say.

Dictation is opt-in and off by default. Hold a session key while you speak; VibeDeck sends the audio to the Whisper-compatible endpoint you choose and types the result into that session without pressing Enter.

Your OpenAI keyOpenAI API usage is billed separately by OpenAI and is not included in your VibeDeck subscription. Local WhisperRun your own compatible local server and leave the API key empty to avoid OpenAI API charges.

Your terminal is the preview: edit the text, dictate another segment, or discard it. Nothing runs until you tap the same session key or Push Dictation. Translation support depends on the configured endpoint. Dictation works on macOS and Windows where supported terminal text injection is available.

Compatibility

Agent support and terminal support are different.

The agent integration reports when a session is working, done, or waiting for you. Your terminal only determines how precisely VibeDeck can focus, type into, and minimize that session.

Agent integrationStatus cards, attention sounds, approvals, usage, effort, and model support.

Terminal integrationTap to focus, Custom Command, dictation, submit, clear, interrupt, and Minimize Window.

What each agent integration supportsTerminal-dependent controls are listed separately below.

Feature	Claude Code	Codex	Cursor	Copilot CLI	Antigravity	OpenCode
Session cards + sounds	Full event set	Core events	Core events; no question event	Core lifecycle events	Statusline states	Full event set
Approve / Deny from Stream Deck	Yes; Always uses the exact provider scope	Allow/Deny on macOS + Windows; Always requires managed macOS	No; use Cursor	No; permission alerts only	No; approval alerts only	Yes; Always uses exact provider patterns

Resume a closed session	macOS, iTerm2, Terminal.app, or Ghostty 1.3+	Not available	Not available	Not available	Not available	Not available

Status monitoring works whether the agent runs in a terminal or an IDE. Terminal support only changes focus, text-entry, and window controls. Completed sessions still accept controls; error sessions do not.

Terminal compatibility

Pick your terminal. Know what works.

Status monitoring works with every supported agent. Your terminal only changes how precisely VibeDeck can focus, type into, and minimize the selected session.

Best all-round control: iTerm2 on macOS and Windows Terminal x64 on Windows. Ghostty 1.3+ and WezTerm are also strong macOS choices; tmux is the reliable exact-pane fallback inside other terminals.

Dictation types text without pressing Enter. Enabling hold-to-dictate uses the hold gesture, so hold-to-interrupt is unavailable on that session key. Unknown macOS terminals need tmux for reliable focus and typing.

Visible setup

Three steps. Preview before you install.

1
Install and activate
Download the installer and find your key in the email from “VibeDeck <[email protected]>”. Install VibeDeck, then activate it from the Install Hooks setup page.
2
Select and preview
Open the Install Hooks Property Inspector, choose only the detected agents you want, and preview the configuration files VibeDeck will extend. Nothing is selected by default.
3
Install, restart, verify
Install the selection, restart affected agent sessions, and send one prompt. Your first live session card confirms the connection.

Codex Direct Control · macOS only

Manage Codex approvals, effort, models, and presets from the deck.

VibeDeck runs the server side automatically (state lives under ~/.vibedeck/codex-control/). Your only step: attach your codex command — one PATH line, explained on the install page.

Unmanaged sessions and Windows keep model, effort, and presets in Codex's native picker. Installed Codex hooks can answer Allow once or Deny from the deck on macOS and Windows; session-wide Always requires a managed macOS session. Already-open managed macOS sessions must restart to become directly controllable.

How to install & attach

Not yet available on Windows — planned for a future update.

Controls that follow your session

Tap once. Keep working.

The last session you tap becomes the target for Effort, Model, Agent Config, and Custom Command. A white ring shows exactly what the next control will affect.

Completed session controls Selected target

Tap a done card to select and focus it; the card stays available instead of clearing. You can prepare the next turn with Effort, Model, Agent Config, or Custom Command. Hold a done or error card when you want to dismiss it.

Dictation, translation, and privacy Opt-in

Enable hold-to-dictate from the Push Dictation settings, then choose your microphone and either your own OpenAI API key or a compatible local Whisper server. Translation mode asks the configured endpoint to translate speech to English. Audio is recorded only while held, the temporary file is deleted after every attempt, and the terminal never runs the result until you tap.

How hook installation protects your config Safety

VibeDeck installs only after you choose agents and preview the files. Existing hook arrays are preserved, conflicting single-slot entries are skipped, and invalid configurations are left untouched. A backup is created before changes; the latest ten installation backups are retained.

System requirements Hardware + software

Requires a compatible Stream Deck device, Stream Deck 6.9 or newer, and macOS 13+ or Windows 10+. Stream Deck+ is optional and adds dial control for Reasoning Effort and Model.

Custom signals

Give any workflow its own key.

A Signal ID is the address you choose for a Custom Signal button. Send a state to that address from a hook, build, test, or deploy script and the right key changes instantly.

Questions

Before you put it on deck.

What does VibeDeck cost?

$5/month. Card required. No charge for 7 days, then $5/month. Cancel anytime using the link in a Paddle receipt email or by emailing [email protected]. Your subscription unlocks all 22 actions, including Swarm, Burn Rate, Minimize Window, and Keep Awake. The refund window lasts 14 days after your first charge. If a subscription lapses, VibeDeck's actions lock until it is renewed; see Terms.

Does dictation need an OpenAI key?

No. Push Dictation is included with VibeDeck, but voice processing is not. Use your own OpenAI API key or a compatible local Whisper server. Audio is sent to your configured endpoint when recording finishes. The resulting terminal text is never executed until you tap.

Can I control models and approvals for Codex?

Yes for managed Codex sessions on macOS: VibeDeck directly controls approvals, reasoning effort, models, and presets. Unmanaged sessions and Windows keep Codex's native picker and terminal prompts as the fallback.

What does Keep Awake do?

Keep Awake prevents idle sleep on macOS and Windows while long-running work finishes. The optional lid-close mode requires administrator approval and depends on the laptop and power configuration.

Does Minimize Window stop my agent?

No. It minimizes the selected session’s window while the agent keeps running. Exact targeting follows the terminal table; Windows support remains pending until the rebuilt x64 helper ships.

Which controls follow the selected session?

Tap a session card first. Reasoning Effort, Model, Agent Config, and Custom Command then act on that selected Claude Code or Codex session where supported. Custom Command can target other agents when terminal text injection is available.

What sounds can I configure?

Choose separate global sounds for approval, question, error, and stuck-turn alerts, preview them, use a short custom WAV, disable a category, reset defaults, or mute every VibeDeck alert from one key.

Are hooks installed automatically?

Never on launch. You explicitly select agents in the Install Hooks Property Inspector, preview the affected files, and then confirm the installation.

What if I already use custom hooks?

VibeDeck adds its entries alongside existing hook arrays. Invalid files and single-slot conflicts are left untouched and shown as Needs review.

Do I need every supported agent?

No. Configure only the ones you use. Agent-specific keys stay independent.

What happens if Stream Deck is closed?

Status delivery quietly fails and your coding agent continues. Permission connections return control to the agent’s normal prompt.

How many devices can I use my key on?

Up to 2 devices at a time. Deactivate an old machine from the setup page. If it is gone, contact activation support from the email used at checkout — never send the license key.

Is VibeDeck official?

No. VibeDeck is an independent product and is not affiliated with Elgato, Anthropic, OpenAI, Cursor, GitHub, Google, or OpenCode.

Why VibeDeck exists

“Running several coding agents made me faster. Constantly checking which terminal was working, finished, or waiting for me became a job of its own.”

Daniel, creator of VibeDeck at InventiveHill.com
