# Browser VJ tool online

**TekDetek** is **browser VJ software** / **online VJ** in one tab: webcam or file, real-time FX, record or OBS. Not a multi-layer Resolume mixer — a single-pipeline **no install VJ** source you open from a URL.
TekDetek is not completely free. Try looks and edit for free. Free OBS is watermarked and 5 minutes per session (restart anytime). [Pro](https://tekdetek.gumroad.com/l/xkljia) is clean OBS, unlimited time, Shuffle, and the full node set on desktop.

## Free vs Pro

Free: open the app, swipe and edit looks (phone reaction-diffusion and cellular automata included), luma detection, Hand, watermarked MP4 or PNG up to 20 seconds, watermarked OBS up to 5 minutes (restart anytime).

Pro: clean export with no watermark, unlimited record and OBS, full preset library, Shuffle, Depth and Alt ASCII, add RD / CA / PreText / GEO 3D / Sonify on the desktop graph, higher detection caps. TekDetek is not completely free.

_Look: **terminal** — a typical single-pipeline VJ source into OBS or a projector._

_Look: **geo-sdf-ico-acid** — GEO 3D is Pro to add on desktop; try related looks on phone._

## What you get in one tab

ASCII, Overlay glitch/CRT, reaction-diffusion, cellular automata, Depth, Hand, PreText, GEO 3D, Sonify, and luma / object / pose detection. Full map: [TekDetek nodes](https://vikmil.com/tekdetek-nodes.html).
Live chain: INPUT → look → EXPORT. Rehearse camera exposure under venue lights. If you need eight layers and DMX, send this tab into OBS as one **webcam VJ** source.

## Honest limits vs desktop suites

TekDetek is a no-install video art tool for ASCII-first and detection-driven looks — not feature parity with TouchDesigner or Resolume.
