Who can use pokesBridge
pokesBridge is built for creators who stream with Pokes automation on their own PC. Sign in as the creator account that should receive OSC and toy actions on that machine.
Account basics
| Who | Can they use Bridge? |
|---|---|
| Creator | Yes: install, sign in, and use creator Bridge basics |
| Viewer-only account | Not the intended audience; creator features stay locked |
| Premium creator | Unlocks PiShock, bots, tip tools, overlays quicklinks, and other plan-gated surfaces (same entitlements as the website) |
If you need Premium for a locked row, Bridge shows Premium creator required and points you to Billing on pokes.love. Discord support: discord.gg/XBt3UJReF2.
Feature access (from your Pokes account)
Access mirrors what your account can use on the website. Bridge reads your account flags after sign-in.

|---|---|
| OSC | Premium Creator account |
| Toys (Lovense / Intiface) | Creator account (Toys navigation enabled) |
| PiShock | Premium Creator Account |
| Bots (pokesBot, Lumia) | Premium Creator Account |
| Ctrl Links (create outgoing) | Premium (or matching control-link manage access). You can still work with links assigned to you when create is locked |

| Tip Menu / Overlays Quicklinks | Premium Creator Account |

What you need to get started
- Creator account on pokes.love
- Desktop pokesBridge from Downloads
- Optional Premium (or vip) for PiShock, bots, overlays, tip automation, and control-link manager

Platforms
Bridge itself is a desktop app (installers are published on Downloads; Linux and Mac builds may appear when ready). Streaming platforms (Fansly, Joystick, and so on) still connect through the Pokes website and pokesBot; Bridge delivers the local OSC and toy commands.
