The profile as it installs: 9 folders on the home page, 85 shortcuts inside them. Press a folder to open it, a key to see what it fires.

This profile's own key art, drawn by the same code that builds the files you install — and a starting point, not a fixed layout. Once it is imported, every key, folder and page is yours to move, rename, re-icon or delete in the Elgato Stream Deck app. What this page cannot be is the rest of the box: one theme of the ones it ships, two Stream Deck models of six, one platform's key combinations, and no dials.
Version history
Every published revision of this profile, newest first — what changed and why, in the maker's own words.
V1 Sep 9, 2026 Latest version
v1.0 — initial release for GarageBand 10.4. 85 commands across 9 categories, read off Apple's own shortcut pages. Deliberately leaves out the shortcuts Apple documents with the fn key — Stream Deck cannot send fn, and a key that fires the un-fn'd combo instead would do the wrong thing rather than nothing.

Can I rearrange the GarageBand profile after installing it?

The layout is a starting point, not a lock.
Which operating systems does the GarageBand profile support?
macOS only — every shortcut in it is a macOS combination. The install is one click either way.
