The essentials,
without fine print.

Does it require administrator permissions?

No. Both preferences live in HKCU, the current user’s Registry hive.

Which versions are supported?

Windows 11 and Stream Deck 7.1 or later. Node.js is only needed for development or packaging.

Is it safe to install from GitHub?

Every Release is built with GitHub Actions, includes a SHA-256 checksum, and publishes the same code you can audit.

Can I contribute?

Yes. It is MIT licensed and welcomes improvements, tests, translations, and GitHub issues.
