CyberDeck — Updates CyberDeck is a Bitfocus Companion surface for iPhone and iPad. Live button state, page navigation, encoders. LAN-only, native iOS. 2026-05-12T00:00:00Z https://cyberdeckapp.com/updates/ Jeffrey Bertuch v2.0.0 — ground-up rewrite 2026-05-12T00:00:00Z https://cyberdeckapp.com/updates/v2-0-0-launch/ v2 is a real Companion surface. Live button state, encoder rotation, custom dashboards, multiple connections — all over your LAN. 2.0.0 is live. It's a ground-up rewrite, not an update.

v1 imported a .companionconfig file and fired button presses over Companion's legacy TCP command API. v2 registers with Companion as a surface and runs on the Satellite protocol, so the phone reflects live button state instead of a stale snapshot of a config file.

What ships:

  • Live button state — bitmaps, labels, and page changes pushed from Companion as they happen.
  • Encoder rotation — twist gestures send rotary events back.
  • Custom dashboards (Full version) — build a surface that pulls buttons from multiple Companion pages.
  • Multi-surface on iPad (Full version) — open a second surface in a side-by-side split.
  • Multiple connections (Full version) — save multiple rigs and switch between them on the fly.
  • LAN-only — no accounts, no cloud, no relay.

Companion 4.2+ required. iOS / iPadOS 18 or later.

Update in the App Store.
