Bitfocus Companion

brew install --cask companion v4.3.4,9244,c14e5e3334

Control broadcast and production equipment via virtual buttons, MIDI, OSC, and StreamDeck integration.

Why you might care

Companion is free, open-source software that emulates and extends StreamDeck functionality, letting you control virtually any AV/broadcast gear through a unified interface. It's ideal for live streaming, video production, and complex multi-device setups where a single hardware controller can't reach everything.
