Live Deck
A control surface for one hand.
While you stream, your hands are busy. The Live Deck puts the things you do on a phone or a second monitor as big keys: polls, predictions, raffles, shoutouts, timers, chat modes and clips. Press one, see what happened, undo it if it was the wrong one.
Press a key. You can undo it.

Press the keys, and switch platform to see what changes.
The keys
Eight keys, and the truth about each platform.
The deck reads what each platform allows. A key that cannot run on one dims and says why, or does its Perchy version instead.
Poll
Ask chat a question with two to five choices and a timer.

Native means the platform's own feature. Runs in chat means Perchy runs it itself and counts the votes. Time is marked means that platform has no clip tool, so Perchy notes the time and keeps the VOD link. Read from the same platform table the bot uses.
Forgiving
You will press the wrong key one day.
The deck is built for a live moment, with a chat scrolling and a game going on. So it assumes you will slip.
Undo, right there
Every action that can be taken back has an Undo key next to the result. Close a poll early, start a raffle by mistake, switch slow mode on: one press puts it back.
Some things ask first
Some things cannot be taken back, like a message already sent to chat. Keys like that confirm before they act, and the confirmation says exactly what will happen.
A history of what you did
Everything pressed on the deck is listed with its time, so there is never a mystery about why chat is in slow mode.
Where it lives
Your phone, propped next to the keyboard.
The Live Deck is a web app. Open it in a browser, or install it to your home screen so it opens full screen like any other app.
- Dark first, because you stream in a dim room
- Big targets that a thumb can hit without looking
- Works on a second monitor in a browser tab
One honest note
It is a web app, not a native app from an app store, so it needs a connection. If your phone loses signal, the deck says so rather than pretending a key worked.
