Microsoft Store copy: Pro → Buy SofaDeck Pro in the Microsoft Store ($9.99).
In the Microsoft Store copy, Pro is bought inside the app (Pro → Buy SofaDeck Pro in the Microsoft Store) and tied to your Microsoft account. Everywhere else — the Windows download from this site and the Mac app — paste the license key from your Gumroad receipt into SofaDeck's Pro screen (SofaDeck 1.0.2 or later). A license key also works in the Store copy.
What Pro adds, in practice
Unlimited pages
Free SofaDeck gives you one page of buttons — plenty for a media remote or a handful of shortcuts. Pro removes the limit, so you can keep a page per app or activity: one for streaming, one for your editor, one for the living room, one for the arcade cabinet. Swipe or tap between them on the phone.
Multi-step macros
A macro is a list of steps behind one button: press a hotkey, wait half a second, open an app, type some text, press another key. It's the difference between "mute mic" and "start my stream" — switch scene, unmute, start recording and open chat in one tap.
Custom voice phrases
Every button can already be triggered by saying its label. Pro lets you add your own phrases for any button, so "movie time" can dim the lights app, launch your player and set the volume without you remembering what the button is called.
Hotkey combos
Free SofaDeck sends single keys like Enter, Esc, F11 and the arrows. Pro sends any combination — Ctrl+Shift+Esc, Win+Shift+S, or the OBS and meeting-app shortcuts you set up.
Your games, one tap or one sentence away
Pro imports your Steam, Epic Games and LaunchBox / Big Box libraries (with box art) so you can add them as buttons or just say "play Rocket League", "play Sonic on Genesis", "surprise me" or "resume last game". LaunchBox games launch through Big Box itself when its CLI_Launcher plugin is installed.
Themes
Switch the deck to OLED black, Arcade neon, Ocean, Sunset or Light. Icons, colors and grid size are free for everyone.
Pro questions
Is SofaDeck Pro a subscription?
No. Pro is a one-time purchase: $9.99 (US) inside the Microsoft Store copy of SofaDeck, or a license key from this page ($6.99 launch price). There is nothing to renew.
I installed SofaDeck from the Microsoft Store. How do I get Pro?
Open SofaDeck on your PC (tray icon → Open SofaDeck) and choose Pro → Buy SofaDeck Pro in the Microsoft Store — from SofaDeck 1.0.18 the same button is on your phone's Pro screen too. The Store's own checkout opens, charges $9.99 in the US (your local price elsewhere, plus any tax) to your Microsoft account, and Pro unlocks straight away. It follows your Microsoft account to your other PCs.
How do I activate a license key?
After checkout, Gumroad emails your license key and shows it on the receipt page. Paste it into SofaDeck's Pro screen on your PC (tray icon → Open SofaDeck → Pro → Activate); from SofaDeck 1.0.8 you can also paste it into the Pro sheet on your phone. A key works in every copy of SofaDeck — the download from this site, the Mac app and the Microsoft Store copy. SofaDeck checks the key with Gumroad when you activate it and about once a week after that; if you're offline, Pro keeps working for 30 days.
I installed SofaDeck from this site on Windows. How do I get Pro?
Buy a license key on this page ($6.99, launch price for the first 100 keys) and paste it into SofaDeck → Pro. No reinstall, nothing to switch. If you'd rather pay with your Microsoft account, install the Microsoft Store copy instead and buy Pro inside it.
Can I use one license on more than one PC?
Yes — a license key is for your own use on up to 5 of your own PCs. If you replace PCs and hit the limit, email support@dixonappstudio.com and we'll move it.
Should I try the free version first?
Yes. Free and Pro are the same app, so the free version tells you whether SofaDeck works on your PC, phone and network before you pay anything. If you have a problem after buying, email support@dixonappstudio.com.
Can I try Pro before buying?
Yes. Under the Buy button, the Pro screen on the PC or the phone offers every Pro feature free for 7 days, once per PC: no payment, card or sign-up. When the trial ends nothing is deleted; extra pages and Pro buttons are kept and come back as soon as you get Pro.
What does the free version include?
One page of 12 buttons (it starts with 9 media and streaming buttons), apps, websites, media keys and volume, single keys, the voice remote, 1 routine, Send to PC for files up to 10 MB, 20 minutes of trackpad and keyboard a day (arrow keys, Enter and the presenter keys never count), PC stats, the sleep timer, now playing and the presenter clicker. That is the free plan for new installs from SofaDeck 1.0.18. Installed before 1.0.18? You keep what you had: 2 routines, 50 MB files and the trackpad with no daily limit.
Does SofaDeck send any usage data?
Only if you say yes. From 1.0.18 SofaDeck can send a few anonymous counts (installed, pairing screen shown, pairing skipped, first phone paired, first Pro screen shown, trial started, first Buy click), each once, with a random id. It's off by default; the PC asks once and you can change it in Settings → Privacy. No names, no IP addresses kept, nothing you type or press. Details on the privacy page.
What's new for Pro in 1.0.7?
Wake your PC from your phone: SofaDeck shows whether the PC's network adapter can be woken, sets up Wake-on-LAN in one click (Windows asks for administrator permission first), finds your other SofaDeck PCs so one can wake another from the phone menu, and turns the phone's "can't reach your PC" page into a screen with the ways to wake it. Windows only.
What's new for Pro in 1.0.6?
Smart pages: give a page one or more apps and your phone switches to it whenever that app comes to the front on the PC, like Stream Deck's Smart Profiles. Pro also sends files of any size from your phone to the PC (up to 4 GB; free sends up to 10 MB on installs from SofaDeck 1.0.18, 50 MB on earlier installs). Both are on Windows, in the download on this site and in the Microsoft Store version.
Does Pro include Print Station?
Yes, on Windows with SofaDeck 1.0.5 or later. Print Station prints PDFs, photos and 4x6 shipping labels sent from your phone on the PC's printer, silently and at actual size, with Rollo and other thermal label printers. The download on this site has it now (1.0.6); the Microsoft Store copy gets Print Station with its 1.0.5 update.
Who handles the payment?
In the Microsoft Store copy, Microsoft handles the in-app purchase; license keys are sold through Gumroad (card, PayPal, Apple Pay or Google Pay). Both collect any sales tax or VAT, and Dixon App Studio never sees your card details.
Store add-on or license key: which should I buy?
Buy the way you installed. Installed from the Microsoft Store: buy Pro inside the app ($9.99 in the US, your Microsoft account, no key). Installed from this site, on a Mac, or want one purchase for every copy: buy a license key ($6.99 launch price). A license key also works in the Store copy; the Store add-on works only in the Store copy on Windows.
Can I use Pro on two PCs, like a desktop and a laptop?
Yes. A license key activates on up to 5 of your own PCs (Windows or Mac): paste the same key into each. The Microsoft Store add-on belongs to your Microsoft account, so install SofaDeck from the Store on your other Windows PC, sign in to the Store with the same account, and Pro is there too. Phones never need a license; every paired phone gets Pro from the PC.
Does Pro need the internet?
Only now and then. A license key is checked with Gumroad when you activate it and about once a week after that; if the PC is offline, Pro keeps working for 30 days. The deck itself never needs the internet: your phone talks to the PC over your home network.
What happens to my pages if Pro ends (trial over or refund)?
Nothing is deleted. Extra pages, macros, routines past the free ones and Pro buttons are kept and shown locked, and they come back as soon as Pro is active again.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. License keys bought here come with a 14-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked: reply to your Gumroad receipt or email support. Microsoft Store purchases follow the Store's refund policy.
