About

DevDeck

Features

DevDeck turns your iPhone or iPad into a customizable shortcut deck for your Mac. Launch apps, run terminal commands, trigger multi-step workflows, and organize everything into context-aware decks — all with a single tap. HOW IT WORKS Install the free DevDeck Server on your Mac (via Homebrew or DMG). The app auto-discovers the server on your local network — no manual configuration needed. Scan a QR code or let mDNS handle the pairing. CONTEXT-AWARE DECKS Your shortcuts automatically switch based on the active app on your Mac. Working in VS Code? Dev tools appear. Switched to Zoom? Meeting controls are ready. On Slack? Communication shortcuts at your fingertips. Define rules per app or let AI generate them. AI-POWERED GENERATION Describe what you want in plain English and AI generates commands, full decks, or multi-step workflows. Supports Claude, OpenAI, and local Ollama models. Preview and edit before saving. MULTI-STEP WORKFLOWS Chain actions together with dynamic inputs. One tap to "start my meeting" can open Zoom, snooze Slack notifications, and set your status — all automatically. Template variables let you reuse workflows with different inputs. BROWSER AUTOMATION With the optional Chrome extension, automate web pages directly from your phone — click buttons, fill forms with semantic field matching, and navigate sites. CUSTOM ICONS Use SF Symbols or your own PNG/JPEG images with color tinting. Make your deck truly yours.
