Assign by clicking the board
The interface mirrors the 4 × 4 key grid and exposes all nine encoder actions.
Windows application
ThisBoard Studio.
The hardware stays simple. Studio provides the intelligence: global input interception, profile management, action execution, diagnostics and a local status display.
Complete layouts, not isolated macros
Duplicate, rename, import, export and switch entire sets of assignments.
No account or telemetry
Configuration, profiles and logs stay in your Windows user data directory.
Ordered multi-step actions
Combine hotkeys, text, commands, window focus and controlled pauses.
Hold before sensitive actions
Add a deliberate time threshold to a chosen confirmation control.
Six local status channels
Show named states in a floating HUD through a token-protected localhost API.
Supported action types
From one keystroke to a complete routine.
- Keyboard shortcuts
- Exact text and reusable templates
- Web and local file URLs
- Applications and command arguments
- Window-title focus matching
- Multi-step action sequences
- Internal Studio controls

Sequence steps run locally and should be tested against the intended application before regular use.

Status API
The optional status server binds to 127.0.0.1, not the network interface. Requests require the random token stored in the local configuration. Disable the API in Studio when it is not needed.
