StreamBuddy Desktop

Your stream. Your chat. Your community. All in one place.

Keep your multichat close, access your audience insights, and manage your live streaming workflow without switching browser tabs. Same account, same data as StreamBuddy Web.

Coming soon for Windows and macOS

The desktop app is in testing. Until the first release ships, everything on this page is available in your browser: continue with StreamBuddy Web.

Why install it

  • Floating multichat

    A small always-on-top chat window that stays over windowed and borderless games, with opacity and size controls and a global shortcut.

  • Everything you already use

    The same dashboard, viewer profiles, insights and settings as the website, signed in with the same account. Nothing to set up twice.

  • Stays out of the way

    Lives in your tray, remembers where you put its windows, and reconnects on its own after sleep or a dropped connection.

  • Built the safe way

    Sign-in happens in your own browser. The app never sees your platform passwords and contains no secrets.

Installing

  1. Download the installer for your system and open it. No administrator rights are needed.
  2. Choose Sign in with your browser. Approve the sign-in on trystreambuddy.com.
  3. Your dashboard, channels and viewers are there. Press Ctrl+Shift+M (Cmd+Shift+M on a Mac) for the floating chat.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a new account?
No. You sign in with the StreamBuddy account you already have, and your connected Twitch, YouTube, Kick and TikTok accounts are already there.
Does it replace StreamBuddy Web?
No. Both stay in sync through the same backend. Use whichever fits the moment; your subscription covers both.
Which systems are supported?
Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit) and macOS 12 or newer on Apple silicon and Intel.
Will the floating chat show over my game?
Over windowed and borderless-windowed games, yes. Exclusive fullscreen games own the whole display and no window can appear over them; switch the game to borderless.
Does it work with OBS?
Your existing OBS docks and overlays keep working exactly as before. The desktop app adds to them; it does not replace them.
