TikTok gift triggers — gifts that reach off the screen
Most overlays end at the edge of the monitor. A gift trigger doesn't: a Rose can press a key in your game, a Lion can run a Minecraft command, and a big gift can switch on the light behind you. It runs from the free LiveFlyer Desktop app on your own computer.
Press a key in your gameA gift sends a keystroke. Any game that reads normal keyboard input works — no plugin, no mod.
Run a Minecraft commandSpawn something, change the weather, drop a mob. The gift becomes the command.
Switch on a lightA smart plug or bulb on your own network. There is an on-screen test bulb so you can prove a rule works before buying hardware.
Play a soundOut loud in the room, not only on the stream — so you react to it as genuinely as your chat does.
Why it runs on your computer
Your lights, plugs and game are on your network, not ours. So the part that talks to them lives in an app on your machine. Three consequences worth knowing:
Device passwords never leave your computer. They are masked on the wire and never sent to liveflyer.app.
Your overlay is served locally too, so the first gift of a stream never waits on a cold request, and it keeps reacting even if our server stumbles.
It needs a computer. If you go live from a phone, triggers are not available to you — no app, no keystrokes. That is a real limit, not a pricing tier.
The Mac build is signed and notarised by Apple and opens normally. The Windows build is tested but not yet code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen will warn you the first time. It is early beta — you will find rough edges, and there is a feedback box in the app that goes straight to me.
Open Triggers and add a rule: when this gift lands, do this.
Test it with the on-screen bulb or a key you can see.
Go live. The app watches your own room's gift feed and fires the rule.
What it costs
The desktop app is a free download. Triggers and the chatbot are part of Pro ($9.99/mo), and a new account gets 30 days of Pro free from signup — so you can wire a gift to your lights and see whether your chat cares before paying anything.
