SIDeck Studio vs Serein

Turn your iPhone or iPad into a custom control deck for your Windows PC or Mac. Put app-volume faders, OBS controls and macros together in Custom Modes. BUILD YOUR DECK Arrange and resize blocks, use a template or start with your own layout. Free includes one mode with up to six blocks, two assigned audio apps and six saved macros. Pro supports up to 20 modes with 40 blocks per mode. Saved Pro macros are uncapped; each macro button still uses a block. CAMERA & MIC FOR OBS With Pro, send your iPhone camera and microphone to OBS over local Wi-Fi. Use supported lenses, zoom, background effects and face-tracked AR props. Effects and lenses depend on your device. AUDIO AND OBS CONTROL Balance app volume from your deck and add OBS input faders or mute controls. Pro adds dedicated broadcast action blocks, scene switching, live previews and hold-to-talk or hold-to-mute controls. Supported OBS hotkeys and the current-scene block are available on Free. MACROS AND WIDGETS Run saved desktop macros from your deck, Home Screen or Lock Screen widgets. Your paired desktop must be reachable. Pro internet macros use the relay; they do not replace local audio or OBS control. STREAMER.BOT With Pro, use supported actions, chat, variables and event blocks in Custom Modes. Requires Streamer.bot running on a Windows desktop and the relevant host connection. SAVED COMPUTERS Save up to five desktop profiles on Free, or unlimited profiles with Pro. Choose the computer you want to control; its desktop host must be reachable. GET STARTED 1. Install the free SIDeck Studio desktop host from sideckstudio.com. 2. Sign in to SIDeck Studio and pair with your desktop using its QR code or supported manual connection. 3. Build a mode and assign your controls. Requires the desktop companion running on a supported Windows PC or Mac. Local controls require an available local connection; OBS features require OBS Studio. English and Arabic are supported. Pro is an optional auto-renewing App Store subscription. Pricing and trial eligibility appear before purchase. Manage or cancel renewals in Apple subscription settings.

Serein quietly blocks what pulls you away — for as long as you decide. Not another guilt-trip screen time tracker. Serein is a calm wall between you and the apps that eat your evenings: you choose what's blocked and when, and when you really need through, Serein asks for one breath first — not a lecture. BLOCK YOUR WAY • Schedules — block apps automatically at set times, every day. Wind-down at 10, deep work at 9. Works even with Serein closed. • Time limits — a daily budget for the scroll. When it's spent, the door closes until tomorrow. • Open limits — a few timed opens a day. Make each one count; midnight refills them. • Focus sessions — start a block on the spot, for exactly as long as you commit to. THE BREATH GATE Tap a blocked app and you won't hit a wall of shame — you'll get one slow breath, then a choice. Most itches fade in ninety seconds. When you do unlock, it's for minutes you choose, with a live countdown in the Dynamic Island, and the block returns on its own. FOR THE DAYS THAT ARE JUST HARD • Rain Check — one hour of mercy, once a week. Every block pauses; no questions asked. • Strict mode — no pause, no early exit, and Uninstall Protection so deleting the app isn't an escape hatch. For the promises you actually want kept. SEE WHAT YOU'RE GETTING BACK A focus score, streaks, protected-time stats, and a record of every time the wall held. Not surveillance — receipts. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Serein never learns which apps you block. Your selections stay on your device — nothing to sell, nothing to leak, no account required. SEREIN+ Unlimited schedules, full history and trends, Strict mode, and Uninstall Protection. Free covers the essentials; upgrade when you're ready to go deeper. Your attention is the most expensive thing you own. Take it back — quietly. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
