VortiDeck 0.6.5 — Streaming Control, Webhooks & Mobile Overhaul

This one took a while — and it turned into something much bigger than planned. VortiDeck 0.6.5 brings a full Streaming Control Center, webhook automation, focus window switching, a rebuilt mobile app with E2E encryption, and a long list of things that just work better now.

If you stream, automate, or just want tighter control over your desktop — this is the update where VortiDeck starts to really click.

Streaming Control Center

The biggest addition in 0.6.5: a dedicated hub for managing your streams.

If you broadcast to multiple platforms, or you just like having everything dialed in before going live, the Streaming Control Center replaces the chaos of scattered configs with a single organized workflow.

Sessions

You can now create streaming sessions — saved configurations that bundle your chat commands, deck actions, and stream settings into one loadable preset. Set up your "Chill Stream" session differently from your "Tournament Mode" session, and switch between them before going live.

Sessions have three states:

• Draft — still setting things up

• Active — you're live

• Inactive — saved for later

Chat commands

Chat commands got a serious upgrade. You can now link any deck action to a chat command:

• !lights — change your Hue lights

• !alert — trigger an OBS scene

• !socials — send links to chat

• !obs — focus the OBS window (mods only)

Assigning commands is drag-and-drop — pick an action from your deck, drop it into the session config, type the command name, done. There's also a proper search field now, so even if you have 80+ actions, you'll find what you need instantly.

[callout variant="tip" title="Viewer permissions"] Viewer permission controls are in active development. Soon you'll be able to restrict commands to mods, VIPs, subscribers, or specific users — all configurable per session.

Focus Window Actions

This feature came from a real pain point: switching windows during a stream without fumbling around.

You can now pick any open window, save it with a custom name, and drop it onto a deck button. One tap switches focus instantly — no alt-tabbing, no hunting through taskbars.

Works great for:

• Swapping between OBS and your game

• Checking Discord mid-stream

• Jumping into editing software

• Focusing your browser for on-stream browsing

And yes — focus window actions can be connected to chat commands too. Your mods can trigger window switches on your behalf.

HTTP Request Templates

If you automate through APIs — smart home, Discord bots, webhooks, custom services — this update adds proper HTTP request management.

You can create, edit, and test HTTP request templates directly inside VortiDeck. Each template can be dropped onto a deck button or used inside a streaming session. It's a simple interface, but it opens up a lot of power if you want to extend your setup beyond what's built in.

Webhooks

One of the quieter but most powerful additions in 0.6.5. VortiDeck can now receive webhooks from external services — turning it into an automation endpoint that other tools can trigger.

How it works

When you create a webhook, VortiDeck generates a unique URL. You give that URL to whatever service you want to connect. When that service sends data to the URL, VortiDeck receives it and executes whatever action you've configured.

For example:

• Streamlabs sends a donation — VortiDeck triggers an alert scene in OBS

• GitHub sends a push notification — VortiDeck runs a build script

• A custom app fires an event — VortiDeck switches focus windows

Setting it up

1. Go to Settings → API Management

2. Click Create Webhook

3. Give it a name (e.g., "Streamlabs Alerts")

4. Copy the webhook URL — paste it into the external service

5. Configure the action — drag any deck action onto the webhook config

6. Test it with the built-in test button

7. Save — your webhook is now live

You can create as many webhooks as you need. Each one is isolated and triggers different actions.

[callout variant="warning" title="Server address"] The API server runs locally. Your webhook endpoint is typically http://127.0.0.1:9001 or your machine's network IP on port 9001. This will be shown more clearly in a future update.

Security

All webhook URLs use secure tokens and can be regenerated at any time. You can also set IP whitelists and require specific headers for extra protection.

Mobile App — v0.4.0

The mobile app got a ground-up rebuild. Almost everything here was rewritten.

OAuth login

You can now log in through Google or Discord. The login flow opens your phone's browser and deep-links back into the app — no more typing passwords on a tiny keyboard.

Multi-desktop pairing

The mobile app now supports pairing with multiple desktops:

• Streaming PC

• Editing PC

• Gaming PC

• Work laptop

Switch between them with one tap. Everything is isolated — credentials, sessions, and connections don't overlap.

Direct & Relay connections

VortiDeck mobile now supports both direct local network connections (fastest) and relay mode over the internet (for when you're not on the same network). The app picks the best mode automatically.

End-to-end encryption

All communication between mobile and desktop uses:

• X25519 key exchange

• ChaCha20-Poly1305 symmetric encryption

• Token storage protected by biometrics

[callout variant="info" title="Locked down by default"] Every message between your phone and desktop is encrypted end-to-end. Even relay servers can't read your data. Biometric protection means your tokens are safe even if someone picks up your phone.

Deck Editor Improvements

The editor now supports right-click context menus on any action:

• Edit

• Copy / Duplicate

• Delete

This works for everything — programs, macros, flows, OBS actions, focus windows, HTTP requests. Duplicating similar actions now takes seconds instead of minutes.

Performance

Some changes under the hood that make the whole app feel snappier:

• No more flicker on mobile connect — all feature limits arrive in a single WebSocket message

• Better concurrency — set the parallel execution limit to 0 for unlimited, or keep it restricted

• Real-time relay sync — desktop changes broadcast instantly to all paired phones

Settings Cleanup

There's now a single unified page for all app-level settings. No restarts needed — everything updates live.

Security & Reliability Fixes

Several important stability fixes went into this release:

• E2EE re-pairing bugs resolved

• Stale token refresh loops eliminated

• Relay connection edge cases fixed

• Desktop offline detection improved

• WebSocket race conditions patched

Mobile-to-desktop connections should be significantly more stable across the board.
