Put your setup back to any night you choose.
DeckShot keeps dated copies of every Elgato app's configuration on your PC — taken nightly, and again the moment a config changes — then puts any one of them back in a click.
Not a folder you copied once and forgot.A dated, verified history of every config on this PC, and a restore that saves what's live before it touches anything.
An update rewrites your config, and the setup you spent a weekend on is gone.Rebuilding it from memory takes hours you don't have mid-stream. DeckShot takes the copy before the rewrite lands, so the version that worked is still there.
The most common one. The copy from before the update is one click away.
Point it at the same folder and put every app back where it was.
Mid-stream, mid-mix. Restore the copy from this morning and keep going.
Named backups, not timestamps — “Party chat mix” is findable a month later.
Two loops, and neither of them hides a step.Left: a backup being taken and read back. Right: a restore, including the copy it makes of what's live before it writes.
A copy of what's live is saved first. Wave Link closes, the files are written, and it reopens.
Missing segments are grey, not amber. The bar shows how much was read; the pill carries the verdict.
Pick a folder and I'll start keeping copies.
I found 7 Elgato apps on this PC. Nothing is backed up yet — choose where the copies live and the first run takes about four seconds.
After the first run there is no dashboard to check and no schedule to maintain. The window exists for the day something is wrong.
It finds the Elgato apps installed on this PC and reads where each one keeps its configuration. Nothing to point at, nothing to configure.
Nightly, and again whenever a config changes on disk. An app update triggers one too — updates are when configs get rewritten.
Every copy is read back section by section. If something didn't parse, the backup says so instead of showing a tick it hasn't earned.
What's live is copied first, the app closes, the files go back, it reopens. If it refuses them, your way back is already on the list.
Profiles, key actions, plugins, icon packs, devices, preferences. The largest config in the suite, and the one that hurts most to rebuild.
Inputs, mixes, outputs, filters. Six inputs and two mixes, restored exactly as they were mixed.
Devices, image settings, scenes. Every look you set up per camera.
Lights and scenes, including the ones you only use on stream.
Encoder, audio, output paths. The settings you set once and never want to find again.
Output configuration. Small, and impossible to remember.
Shots, exposure, and the firmware version each backup was taken on.
Kept even after you uninstall it — the backups stay, the row just says the app is gone.
A new app in the suite is picked up on the next run and joins the nightly schedule on its own.
Four words, and none of them is a guess.A backup tool that only ever says “done” is telling you less than it knows.
Read back and every section parsed. Restorable, and DeckShot will say what restoring would change.
Taken, but something didn't validate. Still restorable — you just know before you commit.
Written, then found unreadable. Not restorable, and DeckShot names the likely cause rather than retrying forever.
This app's config is a blob we can't parse. Copied faithfully, promised nothing.

Pay once. Restoring stays available for good on this machine.
Backups run forever, on every app, with no licence at all. Restoring one is the paid part — and the trial includes restore for 14 days so you can prove it works before paying.
No. There is no cloud, no account and no telemetry. Backups are plain files in a folder you choose — a local disk, an external drive, or a network share — readable without DeckShot installed.
Both. Same app, same backup folder format, so a folder written on Windows restores on a Mac.
DeckShot tells you it refused and that the app is running on defaults. Your pre-restore copy is intact and one click away — a failed restore costs you nothing but the attempt.
The folder was written but its contents don't parse — usually a write interrupted by sleep or a full disk. DeckShot reads it again on request, and if it still fails it says so rather than offering a restore that can't work.
A few of these apps store settings in a format we can't parse. Those get copied and put back on request, but DeckShot won't claim it verified them.
Configs are small — most apps are tens of kilobytes a copy, Stream Deck's icon packs are the exception. Set how many to keep per app (30 by default, 60 for Wave Link) and older ones roll off.
Its backups stay exactly where they are. The row just says the app isn't on this PC any more, so reinstalling and restoring puts your setup straight back.
Yes — a network share works like any other folder. Deleted backups move to a trash folder inside your backup folder rather than the Recycle Bin, which doesn't exist on a share.
The first run takes about four seconds.
After that it's a filing cabinet you don't think about, until the day you need it.
