The free, private button deck — no hardware, no subscription, no cloud.

You already own a phone. Klikor turns it into a programmable macro controller for your Windows PC — free at its core, honest about what Pro costs, and built so your keystrokes never leave your desk. Here is how that stacks up against every major alternative.

🔒

Own it, don't rent it

Klikor Free is genuinely unlimited — unlimited profiles, unlimited buttons, unlimited macros up to 500 steps. Pro is a one-time purchase, not a monthly subscription. Pay once, keep it forever.

🏠

Integrations that actually know what's happening

Klikor's OBS and VoiceMeeter integrations are bidirectional — your buttons reflect the live state of the app, not a blind guess. You always know whether you're really muted or really live. Plus a growing set of first-party integrations, with more added on request.

🚫

Private by architecture

Install the free Klikor desktop app on your Windows PC — it runs a local sidecar server, so nothing routes through a cloud account. TLS certificate-pinned TOFU pairing via QR code. No vendor ever sees your keystrokes.

💰

Marketplace with 90% payout

Creators publish and sell profiles and icon packs directly in the app. 90% goes to the creator. No platform tax eating half your revenue. Community profiles install in one click.

Own vs rent

Most button-deck apps treat "Pro" as a subscription gate: pay monthly or your buttons stop working. Stream Deck Mobile charges a recurring fee to unlock more than a handful of keys on your own phone. GameGlass charges up to $229 for a lifetime pass or ~$50/year just to use pre-built game layouts. Klikor Pro is a one-time purchase — early-adopter pricing starting free for the first 100 licenses, then $2.99, then $4.99. After that you own it. There is no renewal, no surprise price hike, no feature that disappears if you cancel.

Everything vs gaming-only

GameGlass is a great product if you play a handful of supported titles and want a turnkey "Shard" pre-built for Star Citizen or DCS. But it does one thing. Klikor is agnostic: the same app that controls your OBS scenes also fires Govee lighting macros, opens specific Chrome workspaces, runs PowerShell scripts, and sends Discord messages. If your workflow spans streaming and productivity and gaming, you do not need three separate controllers.

For gaming specifically, Klikor has native Elite Dangerous and EVE Online integrations — journal/state watching, automatic context-switching based on in-game state, and live state bindings that update button labels in real time. No plugin required.

Integrations that actually know what's happening. Klikor's OBS and VoiceMeeter integrations are bidirectional — your buttons reflect the live state of the app, not a blind guess. You always know whether you're really muted or really live. Keystroke-only decks just fire a key and hope; the moment anything changes outside the deck their buttons drift out of sync — that's how you end up talking on mute while chat is yelling at you. Klikor stays locked to the truth — plus a growing set of first-party integrations, with more added on request.

Private vs cloud

"Cloud" in a button deck app means your commands travel to a vendor's server before reaching your PC. That is extra latency, a third-party dependency, and a surface for credential leaks. Klikor sends commands directly from your phone to your desktop over your local Wi-Fi — TLS encrypted, certificate-pinned on first pairing. If your internet goes down, Klikor still works. There is nothing to log into, nothing to revoke, and no server-side breach of your button layout data is possible because we never receive it.

The trade-off is straightforward: Klikor requires you to install the free desktop app on your Windows PC — the sidecar server runs there and commands stay on your machine. That's a free download you own outright, with no account and no subscription. Just a small background process that makes your phone work as a controller.

Marketplace 90%

Creators on the Klikor Marketplace keep 90% of every sale. That is higher than any comparable platform. Free and paid listings are both supported; buyers install profiles and icon packs straight into the desktop app with one click. The marketplace is moderated — no spam, no malware — but open to any creator without a curated-app gating process.

You're not forced to start from scratch. Build a bespoke layout exactly how you want it — every button, every page, every color — or browse the Marketplace and one-click-install a profile the community has already built and shared. GameGlass's game-specific Shards are more curated and polished for their target titles; Klikor's edge is total bespoke control plus a community marketplace where creators keep 90%.
