Everything you need as a streamer or moderator, in a single dashboard: ByteMate combines a complete Twitch bot with practical streaming tools and a modern interface – free and without programming knowledge.
What is ByteMate?
ByteMate is a free Twitch bot dashboard designed specifically for streamers and moderators. Instead of running various tools and bots side-by-side, ByteMate bundles everything in one place: from chat bots and alerts to giveaways and OBS-ready overlays.
Setup takes less than five minutes. Simply log in with your Twitch account, add the bot to your channel, grant moderator permissions – and you're done. All functions are configured via the dashboard, completely without coding.
