Monitoring

Custom Screen Display Monitor

Overview

Transform your Stream Deck into a powerful monitoring and automation tool. Display any screen or background window region live on buttons and dials while adding interactive controls for complete workflow automation.

CORE FEATURES

Live Screen Capture & Display
  • Display screen regions on buttons and dials with pixel-perfect precision
  • Capture from specific monitors or individual application windows in the background
  • Auto-refresh intervals (0.1-999s) or (0s) for manual updates only
  • ID-based window tracking survives renames and title changes
  • DPI-aware coordinate handling for high-resolution displays

Interactive Input-Action Bindings - Three independent triggers per button/dial, each with four action types:
  • Press, Double Press, or Hold - Configurable timing (200-800ms) for each trigger type
  • Mouse Clicks - Click or move anywhere with Left, Right, Middle, Double-click & Move
  • Keyboard Hotkeys - Simple keys and chords like ESC, CTRL+R, system shortcuts like WIN+TAB
  • Window Switching - Bring specific windows into focus instantly
  • Manual Refresh - Update capture region on demand without waiting for auto-refresh

COMMON USE CASES
  • Online auctions - Track bid timers and price changes, snipe with a single press
  • Timed sales - Monitor ticket drops and queue pages, jump in the moment access opens
  • Limited drops - Watch product launches and restocks, secure items before sellout
  • Job postings - Track career sites and new listings, apply within minutes of posting
  • Streaming stats - Keep viewer counts, chat, and donations visible without covering your screen
  • System resources - Monitor performance metrics with customizable viewports, catch issues early
  • Video calls - Dedicate one button per participant, see who's talking at a glance
  • Stock prices - Track multiple tickers or crypto values on individual buttons
  • Game stats - Watch mini-maps, health bars, and cooldowns on Stream Deck, react faster than with overlays
  • Development builds - Track build status, test results, and logs while coding full-screen
  • Server status - Watch uptime dashboards and error rates, respond to incidents instantly
  • Content streams - Monitor OBS previews, viewer stats, and alerts while focused on creative work

ADVANCED CONVENIENCE FEATURES

Interactive Region Selector - Manage all your regions in one visual interface
  • Device preview shows all your Stream Deck buttons, click any to view or adjust its region
  • Draw new regions by dragging directly on the screenshot/window preview
  • Resize visible regions using drag handles - no typing coordinates
  • Dropdown menus for selecting monitors and windows
  • Zoom 1x to 10x with optional mini-map navigation for large displays

Intelligent Dial Controls
  • Push/Release Dial - Trigger input bindings just like a button
  • Rotate - Adjust X & Y normally, or adjust Width & Height when rotated while pressed
  • Short Tap Touchstrip - Toggle between X or Y axis
  • Press and Hold Touchstrip - Adjust Update Interval with automatic timeout
  • Visual overlay shows current settings when adjusting
  • Adaptive scrolling adjusts to rotation speed (1px slow, 50px fast for 4k displays)

Performance & Reliability
  • Designed for optimal performance - multiple buttons monitoring the same source share a single render pipeline
  • Uses cached renders when within refresh staleness interval, otherwise captures fresh and updates cache
  • Automatic error recovery when windows move, resize, or close
