Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Yuta, a solo developer from Japan. I built StreamPad because I got tired of staring at a $150 Stream Deck and thinking — "I literally have a touchscreen in my pocket." I work with Final Cut, Logic Pro, and OBS daily. Hardware decks look cool, but they can't control your system audio, can't adapt to what app you're using, and cost more than most of us want to spend. So I built something that can: 🎚️ Mix audio per app — 0-200% volume, 10-band EQ, output routing. Things hardware physically can't do. ⚡ Work instantly — 30 built-in presets for Final Cut, Photoshop, OBS, and more. No manual setup. 🔄 Adapt automatically — your layout switches when you switch apps. 🎨 Look the way you want — 18 themes from cyberpunk to minimal. It connects over WiFi to your Mac or Windows PC. Buttons, dials, sliders, touch strips, macros, system monitoring — all from your iPhone or iPad. Free tier included so you can try everything before committing. I'm working on v1.1 with HomeKit, MIDI support, and cloud sync — and I'd genuinely love your input: **What's the one thing you wish your current workflow controller could do but can't?** → https://apps.apple.com/app/strea... Thanks for being here 🙏

@streampad_app I'm someone deep in content creation, I wish my controller could auto-sync presets across multiple devices (like iPad to Mac) for seamless handoffs during long sessions. How feasible is that for v1.1?

Hey Swati, great timing with this question! 🎉

We actually just submitted v1.1.0 to App Store review — and it includes exactly what you're asking for: iCloud Sync for templates, macros, and profiles across iPhone and iPad.

Right now it's manual sync (tap "Sync Now" in Settings), but automatic background sync is on our roadmap for a future update.

Mac-to-iOS preset sync is also something we're actively exploring — stay tuned!

Thanks for the feedback, it really means a lot knowing we're building what creators actually need. 🙌

@swati_paliwal Quick update @swati_paliwal — your feedback actually helped shape this! v1.1.0 just passed App Store review and is live now. iCloud Sync for templates, macros, and profiles across iPhone and iPad is ready to go. This is exactly why I love building as a solo dev — real user feedback goes straight into the next release. Thank you for pushing this forward! Would love to hear how it works for your workflow.

When someone is already using Touch Portal or Stream Deck Mobile, what’s the specific breaking point that makes them switch to StreamPad—latency/reliability, setup time, audio control, auto profiles, or something else?

@curiouskitty Thanks for the great question! The biggest differentiator is that StreamPad is a hybrid of a deck app (like Stream Deck/Touch Portal) and an audio mixer app (like SoundSource) — all in one. Most deck apps don’t touch audio at all. StreamPad gives you per-app audio mixing with 10-band EQ, 0-200% volume, and the ability to route each app’s audio to a different output device — all controllable from your iPhone/iPad over WiFi, no extra software needed. Other key breaking points: ∙ Auto-switching profiles: Controls change automatically based on the active app. No manual switching. ∙ Zero setup friction: 30 built-in presets for Final Cut, OBS, Logic, Photoshop & more — connect and go. ∙ No subscription: Stream Deck Mobile requires a subscription. StreamPad is free to start with a one-time unlock. Also, StreamPad is a solo indie project, which means I can move fast. If you have any feedback or feature requests, feel free to reach out — I actively listen to users and ship updates quickly. Would love to hear your thoughts if you give it a try!

🎉 Update: StreamPad v1.2 just shipped!

We've added 8 new audio features since launch:

🎛️ 10-band parametric EQ (per-app)

⚡ Magic Boost — dynamic compressor

🔊 Output Groups — multi-device output

🎙️ Input Monitor — real-time mic monitoring

🎵 Sample Rate control (up to 192kHz)

🔥 Overdrive — 200% volume boost

🎯 Per-app output device routing

📊 Real-time spectrum analyzer

Your iPhone is now a full pro audio mixer — no $500 hardware needed.

What's next? v1.3 will bring MIDI controller mode — your iPhone becomes a control surface for DAWs. Currently in testing!

Hey everyone! Quick update 🔧 Thanks to a user report, I discovered that the Companion app download links on our website were broken (pointing to a private repository — my mistake!). This has now been fixed. If you had trouble downloading the Mac or Windows Companion app, the links on the website are now working: 👉 https://streampad-app.github.io/... Or download directly: Mac: https://github.com/streampad-app... Windows: https://github.com/streampad-app... Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks to everyone who reported the issue — this is exactly why user feedback is so valuable!
