Every Claude Code session.
One key.

STREAM DECK · live mockup, real key renders
A working day, at a glance
Colors tell the story before you read a word. Scroll on for the details.
// pro · approvals
Approve or deny without touching the keyboard
Keys stay dark until Claude asks. Then they light up with the tool and the command. One tap and Claude keeps going. No tap in 90 seconds, or the plugin is off? Claude shows its normal terminal prompt — nothing is ever blocked.
- Allow once · Always allow (this session only) · Deny
- Numbered keys mirror the terminal: 1 Yes · 2 Always · 3 No
- Your settings files are never modified
Claude asks ↓
// pro · questions
Answer Claude's questions with one key
When Claude asks a multiple-choice question, the options become keys. The question key shows the text; press an option and the answer lands in the session. Several questions? They come one after another.
- Works in every permission mode, including auto
- Labels and descriptions straight from Claude
- Multi-select: the keys tick several options, the question key sends them
- Needs a deck with three or more rows — Stream Deck and XL. Mini, Stream Deck + and Neo have no room for the question row, so those questions stay in the terminal
// pro · session menu
Tap a session, get its menu
Short press opens a profile dedicated to that session: allow, deny, answer, jump to its terminal, back. Long press goes straight to the terminal. Two ready-made profiles ship with the plugin for Stream Deck, Mini, XL, + and Neo — nothing to drag.
- Overview key: totals, one tap to the sessions grid
- Slot keys re-pack as sessions come and go; pin a project to a fixed key if you prefer
- Lands on the session's exact tab in cmux, tmux, iTerm2 and Terminal; other terminals come to the front
// pro · sessions
Finds every session, even the ones you forgot
Claude Code hooks report in real time, asynchronously, so Claude never waits on the deck. A process scan and Claude Code's own session registry pick up sessions started before install or idle for days. Background agents are counted; their work never hides a prompt waiting for you.
- Names from
/rename, colors from/color - Context-window bar per session, styled your way
- Typed in that terminal? The key knows you saw it
// pro · forecast & history
Know when you'll hit the wall, before you do
A small usage history kept on your machine turns today's numbers into a lockout clock, a projected percentage at the reset and a burn rate per hour. A sparkline shows the last hours; weekly peaks show the trend. Native alerts fire once per window: an early warning with the predicted lockout time, the hard threshold, and a ping when a nearly full window resets.
- Your own budget: "80 % by the weekly reset", ahead or behind at a glance
- Honest when unsure: needs two samples five minutes apart before any estimate
- 24 h of samples, 14 days of hourly averages, 90 days of daily peaks: about 31 KB, deletable in one click
// lite & pro · plan usage
Your plan limits, five ways
The same numbers as /usage: 5-hour session, 7-day window and per-model, with time to reset as a countdown or a clock time. Pick the layout per key, including a credits view for extra-usage spend. Green, amber, red.
// two editions, one codebase
Start free. Go Pro when the sessions pile up.

// support
Something off? Tell us where.
Issues and discussions live on the public ClauDeckWeb repository. Include your OS, Stream Deck app version, Claude Code version and the plugin log. The log lives in the plugin folder under logs/; the debug trace of hooks can be switched on with touch ~/.claude/claude-deck/debug.
On Windows, one read-only command collects all of that at once — run it in PowerShell and paste the output: irm https://claudeck.dev/support/windows-check.ps1 -OutFile $env:TEMP\claudeck-check.ps1; powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File $env:TEMP\claudeck-check.ps1
Which terminals work?
Any. The plugin identifies the terminal from the session's environment (Ghostty, iTerm2, Terminal, WezTerm, VS Code, Warp, cmux, Windows Terminal…). Pressing a key raises the session's exact tab in cmux, tmux, iTerm2 and Terminal; every other terminal is brought to the front, since they expose no way to select a tab. macOS asks once for permission to control that app.
Does it slow Claude down?
No. Event hooks are asynchronous. The only synchronous hook is the permission prompt, and only in modes where Claude would ask you anyway. In auto mode it answers instantly and lets Claude's classifier decide.
What leaves my machine?
Nothing, except the call to Anthropic's usage endpoint made with the login token Claude Code already keeps (Keychain on macOS, credentials file on Windows). No analytics, no third-party servers.
WSL, SSH, containers?
Not supported: hooks run where Claude runs and cannot reach the plugin. Claude Code must be installed natively.
Can I buy ClauDeck in my country?
Only in some. The Elgato Marketplace allows paid purchases in around 35 countries — the United States and Canada, most of Europe, Australia and Japan among them. Everywhere else you can still browse the store and download free products, which includes ClauDeck Lite; you just cannot add a paid one to the cart. Cuba, Iran, North Korea and Syria have no access at all. The full list is on Elgato's help site. This is Elgato's store policy, not something a maker can change per product. If you are in a supported country and still see the message, that is a fault worth reporting — tell me in a discussion and raise it with Elgato support too.
The Stream Deck app refuses to install it
If the app is older than 7.1 the install stops with (ContentError) Plugin and no explanation: ClauDeck needs 7.1 or newer. Update the Stream Deck app and install again. On Windows the app’s own updater sometimes reports an update error even though the installer has already downloaded, in which case grab the installer from elgato.com.
Can I keep my own layout?
Yes. Drag any ClauDeck key into any profile. The bundled profiles are a starting point, not a requirement. They keep the same names for ever, so if a future version changes one and you had rearranged it, duplicate your profile first to keep your own version alongside the new one.
