## What it is
Macro Deck is an open-source, customizable macro pad server for Windows that turns smartphones, tablets, or any web browser into a button deck for triggering actions on your PC. It supports plugins, icon packs, multiple profiles, variables, and Cottle scripting, with clients connecting over Wi-Fi or USB.

## Use cases
- turn my old phone into a stream deck
- trigger OBS scenes and hotkeys with one tap
- create a customizable macro pad for gaming shortcuts
- control my PC remotely from a tablet over Wi-Fi
- build custom plugins for a macro pad
- use a Raspberry Pi touchscreen as a button deck

## When to choose
- you want a free, open-source alternative to Elgato Stream Deck using devices you already own
- you need extensible button actions via plugins and scripting
- you want to repurpose an old smartphone or any browser as a macro pad

## When to avoid
- you need a native macOS or Linux server application
- you require hardware keys or physical buttons rather than touch screens
- you need a fully supported production tool with commercial support
