Everything you need to extend ToneCast to more devices

ToneCast Desktop

Mac · Linux · Windows Works offline

Real Electron desktop app (own window + title bar — not Chrome/Firefox). Local API/cast servers run inside the app on ports 8787/8788 for native local I/O, with SQLite storage, optional cloud sync, and in-app web UI updates. Distinct from Desktop Hotkeys (hotkeys-only companion).

Local ports
8787 · dashboard/API
8788 · cast
Cloud sync
Collections, media meta, soundboard, hotkeys — last-write-wins by updated_at
Easy updates
Settings → Update now pulls latest dashboard/cast HTML (and checks for a newer app package)
Desktop API token (shared with Hotkeys)
Loading…

Prefer Desktop / Hotkeys → Sign in with your ToneCast email/password (token is filled automatically). Manual paste still works under Advanced.

Desktop Hotkeys

Mac · Linux · Windows Companion · 1.1.0

Lightweight companion: system-wide hotkeys (Shift+0–9 by default) that trigger dashboard media bindings via the API — without injecting keystrokes. Cloud use requires ToneCast account sign-in (same auth as Desktop 1.1.0). For the full offline dashboard/cast app, see ToneCast Desktop above.

  2. 2

Chrome Audio Control Extension

Manifest V3 · ZIP package

Toolbar popup and keyboard shortcuts for controlling volume, mute, and play/pause on the active cast tab's audio or video element while the cast screen is fullscreen.

Browser limitation
Chrome extensions can control media elements in the active tab. They cannot directly change Chromecast receiver volume, TV volume, OS volume, or media playing inside another app/device.
Download package
The extension ZIP is rooted for Chrome extension developer upload, with manifest.json at the top level. For local chrome://extensions testing, extract the ZIP first, then use Load unpacked on the extracted folder.

    Open Chrome extensions
    Go to chrome://extensions and turn on Developer mode.
  2. 2
    Download and extract the ZIP
    downloads/streamassist-chrome-audio-control-extension.zip

    Control the active cast tab
    Use the toolbar popup, or shortcuts: Alt+Shift+Up, Alt+Shift+Down, and Alt+Shift+M.
