A free, browser-based Stream Deck for streamers

Love the idea of a Stream Deck but not the price tag? Kloot gives you a control deck in your browser and on your phone that fires your overlays, giveaways, polls and effects live — no hardware to buy.

Can Kloot replace a Stream Deck?

For overlay control, yes: your phone becomes the deck. Saved tiles fire giveaways, polls, lower thirds, alerts and effects onto one OBS browser source — no hardware, no plugins. Kloot controls its own overlay tools, not other desktop apps, so it complements rather than clones a hardware deck. The free tier is real.

No hardware to buy

Kloot’s deck runs in any browser and on your phone. Nothing to plug in, nothing to ship — and it’s free to start.

Built for your overlays

Every key fires a Kloot tool — giveaways, polls, sponsors, lower thirds, effects — straight onto your stream, with no plugins to wire up.

Control from anywhere

Because the deck is a web app, you can fire from a second monitor, a tablet, or your phone mid-game.

Choose Kloot if…

You want a free control deck for your stream — overlays, giveaways, polls, effects — you can fire from any device.
You don’t want to buy or carry hardware.
You want keys that fire real overlay tools, not just app shortcuts.

Buy a physical Stream Deck if…

You want to control your whole PC — OBS scene switching, audio mixers, apps, macros, lights — from dedicated tactile keys.
You prefer a physical button you can feel without looking.
Many streamers use both: a physical deck for the PC, Kloot for the overlays.

Frequently asked

Is Kloot a replacement for an Elgato Stream Deck?

For firing your stream overlays, giveaways, polls and effects — yes, free and from any device. For controlling your whole PC (OBS scene switching, audio, apps, macros), a physical Stream Deck still wins, and plenty of streamers happily use both.

Do I need to buy anything?

No — Kloot’s deck is a free web app that runs in your browser and on your phone. There’s no hardware and nothing to install beyond the one overlay URL.

Can I switch OBS scenes with Kloot?

Kloot controls your Kloot overlay tools, not OBS scene switching. For scenes and system macros, pair it with OBS hotkeys or a physical deck.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes — the deck is a mobile PWA, so you can fire any tool from your phone or tablet while you stream.

Which plan should I start on?

Start Free — you get a working deck and one overlay URL. Creator ($15/mo) unlocks the full engagement layer; Pro ($25/mo) adds giveaways and sponsor overlays.
