A Companion surface that lives in your pocket.
CyberDeck is a Bitfocus Companion surface for iPhone and iPad. Live button state, page navigation, encoders. LAN-only, native iOS. No accounts, no cloud.
Companion 4.3+ · iOS 17+
Overview
CyberDeck registers with Bitfocus Companion as a surface. Companion assigns it pages, sends button bitmaps, and receives presses and encoder turns. Configured by Companion, not by you.
The phone or iPad reflects the live state of whichever Companion surface you've assigned to it. Page navigation, button bitmaps, encoders, lock screens. All of it. When Companion changes the surface, the device updates.
Everything runs over your local network. No cloud, no relay, no account. If your control computer and your phone are on the same Wi-Fi, you're ready.
Signal path
Live, both directions. No cloud in the middle — it keeps working as long as both ends share the network.
