Stream Deck Productivity

Keep your AI app. Give it a better starting point.

These profiles paste instructions into the app you choose. They do not contain an AI model, read your browser pages or connect to an AI API. For a page-analysis prompt, supply the text or screenshot yourself, or use an assistant with browser access you have explicitly authorized.

Text keys do not press Enter. Focus the right input, activate a key, replace bracketed placeholders and review the full prompt before sending. Some prompts need tools or context your assistant may not have. A written approval instruction is guidance, not a permission system.

The prompt text and key labels are in English. You can set the requested output language in the prompt or edit the catalogs. Home shortcuts repeat selected prompts; counts are unique within each profile, not a claim that every idea is different across the collection.

Set up your first profile

1. Back up your current profiles. Keep these as separate new profiles so your existing setup stays available.
2. Get the matching export. The alpha packages are code-workflow-0.1.0-alpha.3.streamDeckProfile, ai-workflow-0.1.0-alpha.3.streamDeckProfile and browser-workflow-0.1.0-alpha.3.streamDeckProfile. Compare downloaded files against the release's SHA256SUMS.txt.
3. Import in Stream Deck profile preferences. Check the Home page's 15 keys, open each folder and use Back to return. The target grid is 5 by 3 on Windows.
4. Try a blank scratch document first. Check that the full prompt appears without an extra Enter. Do not test a text key in a terminal, address bar or valuable document.
5. Move to an empty AI composer. Review the pasted text, fill in your details and send manually. If an app treats multiline paste as submission, stop using text keys there.

Browser keys behave differently

The 14 website keys open public service entry points in your default browser. They do not select a browser profile, account, workspace or tenant. Check the account that opens before working.

The 3 shortcut keys act immediately on the focused app: Tab Search (Ctrl+Shift+A), Reopen Tab (Ctrl+Shift+T) and Zoom Reset (Ctrl+0). Test them in a disposable Chrome or Edge window; other browsers may behave differently.

No API key goes in the deck

The profiles do not request, store or transmit API keys. Authentication, permissions, retention and any usage charges belong to the AI app you choose. Configure credentials only in that app's supported settings.

Catalogs and exported profiles contain readable text, settings and images. A .streamDeckProfile is a ZIP archive, not encrypted storage. Installed Stream Deck data is usually at %APPDATA%\Elgato\StreamDeck\ProfilesV3.

Pasting may replace clipboard contents. Keep keys, private client records and account details out of shared actions. The public editions remove personal paths, accounts and executable bindings from the source workflows; review anything you add before sharing it.

Security and privacy notes

Alpha, with a clear boundary

The download is the published alpha.3 with the Stream Deck icon-rendering fix. A reported Windows Stream Deck 7.6 test showed pictograms and titles on all three Home pages using a virtual 15-key deck. This verifies reported configuration-UI rendering, not physical-device behavior.

Local automated checks cover package structure, references, prompt behavior and reproducible builds. Key presses, folder/Back behavior and physical-key readability still need verification. A layout guide is not evidence of a hardware test.

The target is Windows with a 15-key Stream Deck. XL, Mini, Plus, mobile layouts and macOS have not been validated. Re-imports may create duplicates; inspect the result before changing an older profile.

Make the workflow yours

Edit the JSON catalogs and rebuild the profiles, button guides and artwork together. Start with one prompt you use every day and adapt its wording to your work. Prompt adaptations, builder, original composition and Microsoft Fluent Emoji artwork use MIT. Legacy Lucide source drawings retain ISC. Preserve their original notices. Ring & Deck is an independent community project.
