You open the Stripe dashboard to check a number. By the time it loads, you've answered something else and forgotten why you opened it. PeekStripe keeps your net earnings for the last 7 days, 4 weeks, 3 months, or a year on a Stream Deck key. The dashboard stays closed.
What it will do
- Net earnings after Stripe fees — shows the real number from
balance_transactions, not gross volume. What you actually keep. - Four time windows — 7 days, 4 weeks, 3 months, 1 year. Configurable per key, so you can run two keys showing different windows side by side.
- Trend chart — a small bar chart shows the shape of revenue across the selected period, not just the total.
- Polls every 15 minutes — or hold for 2 seconds to refresh immediately. Tap to open the Stripe Dashboard.
- Three themes — Light, Dark (Stripe purple), and Midnight (OLED black). Configurable per key.
- No backend, no subscription — the key lives in Stream Deck's local settings. Queries Stripe directly from your machine. Nothing goes through Microdash servers.
The Restricted Key approach
Minimal permissions, by design
When you set up PeekStripe, you'll create a Stripe Restricted Key with exactly two permissions: Balance (Read) and Balance transaction source (Read). That key can't charge cards, issue refunds, access customer data, or do anything else. Secret keys (sk_) and publishable keys (pk_) are rejected outright. If the restricted key ever leaked — which it won't, because it never leaves your machine — the blast radius is zero.
Who it's for
Indie developers
You ship plugins, tools, or small SaaS products. Checking whether anything sold today is a 3-second distraction you do 10 times a day. One key with yesterday's number stops that loop.
Streamers and creators
If you sell digital products, memberships, or courses through Stripe, the weekly or monthly view on your deck gives you a passive sense of momentum without the dashboard pull.
Freelancers
Tracking Stripe payouts alongside client work. The rolling 4-week view shows what's actually hitting your account versus what you invoiced.
Good to know
Why does PeekStripe show less than the Stripe Dashboard?
PeekStripe shows net earnings from balance_transactions — the after-Stripe-fees figure. The Dashboard's "gross volume" card shows pre-fee amounts and will always be higher. PeekStripe shows what you actually keep.
What if I have multiple currencies?
Each key is locked to one currency, set in the Property Inspector. Add a second key for a second currency. PeekStripe will never mix currencies in a single total.
Does it work with Stripe Connect sub-accounts?
No. PeekStripe only works with accounts where Developers > API keys is available. Connected platform sub-accounts (such as Elgato Marketplace payouts) don't support API key creation.
