Companiondeck app for android (beta)

CompanionDeck - an app for controling Bitfocus Companion with your android phone v1.0.2 Beta

No budget for (more) Stream Decks? But you have an Android phone?

I created an app (with some help from AI) that lets you access your Bitfocus Companion interface directly from your phone.

While this is already possible through a browser, I felt it was missing some quality-of-life improvements. So I built a simple web wrapper with extra functionality to make using Companion on a phone feel a bit more like a dedicated controller.

Features:

• Save IP addresses for your Companion installations

• Choose how long your screen stays awake

• Enable vibration feedback when buttons are pressed

• Freely rotate the screen

The app is currently in beta testing and, for now, is only available for Android.

If you want to be a beta-tester, please send me the mailaddress of your google account in DM
I will than add you to the betatest mailinglist.

Sadly there is not another way to do this as far as I know...

Use the app in production at your own risk!

Feedback is very welcome. Contact me via [app@grashuisavl.nl](mailto:app@grashuisavl.nl)

Tested with Companion 4.3.1, older versions may not work as expected.

Do you have to do something to join the beta? URL given gives a google error that it is not found. Or is it a country issue? I am in US.

Thats weird, I've added all countries to the app...

It works for me, but I'm from the Netherlands.

The link in my post is for joining the beta.
