StreamDeck – One player for multi-platform live streams

Aggregate Douyin, Douyu, Huya, and Bilibili live rooms into one lightweight desktop player.

Problem

People who watch live streams on a second monitor while coding must juggle Douyin, Douyu, Huya, and Bilibili. Each requires a heavy web page or clunky client with logins, ads, and inconsistent chat overlays, so there is no unified way to watch across platforms.

Solution

A desktop app that aggregates live rooms from major platforms into a searchable catalog, filterable by platform, category, and viewer count. It extracts direct stream URLs and hands them to a native player like mpv or IINA, with optional unified chat overlay.

Users

Desktop users who keep a live stream on a second screen while working

MVP

Room lists from 3-4 platforms; keyword and category filtering; one-click send direct stream to local player; no forced login or embedded web player; optional chat overlay window

Revenue

Free base app, one-time purchase to unlock multi-platform chat, favorite sync, and custom sorting; or subscription for ad removal and cloud sync

Why now

Multi-platform live streaming consumption is proven, but cross-platform aggregation remains a gap; stream extraction and player integration are mature enough for an indie developer to ship a macOS/Windows utility quickly
