About

CTD Live Mobile turns your iPhone or iPad into a fast, tactile remote control for OBS Studio. It connects to the OBS WebSocket server (obs-websocket 5.x, built into OBS 28 and later) and lets you run a live production from across the room — no extra screen, no clutter on your stream machine. Built for streamers, AV operators, houses of worship, classrooms, esports, and anyone who runs a multi-camera show in OBS. REQUIRES OBS STUDIO CTD Live Mobile is a remote control. It does nothing on its own. You need OBS Studio (free, open source) running on a separate Mac, PC, or Linux machine, with the WebSocket server enabled under Tools → WebSocket Server Settings. Your iPhone or iPad and the OBS machine must be on the same network. CONNECT IN SECONDS • Scan the QR code from OBS (Tools → WebSocket Server Settings → Show Connect Info) with your camera, or • Enter host, port, and password by hand. • Supports obsws://, ws:// (plaintext), and wss:// (TLS) connections. LIVE MULTIVIEW • A grid of live thumbnails for every scene, refreshed over the socket. • Tap a scene to preview it or cut it straight to air. STUDIO MODE, DONE RIGHT • Full preview-to-program workflow with a dedicated TAKE button. • Hold to quick-cut a focused angle directly to air, then release. STREAM & RECORD CONTROL • Start and stop streaming. • Start and stop recording. • Live stream and record timecode and on-air status at a glance. AUTOMATION • Build scene playlists and trigger rules to automate sequences. • Map scenes, cuts, recording, and audio mute/volume to controller buttons. FULL GAME-CONTROLLER SUPPORT • Drive the show with an Xbox, PlayStation, or MFi controller (GameController framework). • Steer a yellow focus ring with the d-pad or stick, then cut or preview with a button. • Custom button bindings and an on-screen controller help map. DESIGNED FOR THE DEVICE • iPhone runs in landscape for a true control-surface feel. • iPad gives you a larger canvas with even more on screen at once. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no sign-up, no analytics, no ads, no trackers. • Collects no personal data of any kind. • Talks only to the OBS server you configure. Settings stay on your device, and OBS passwords are kept in the iOS Keychain. Camera access is used solely to scan the OBS connect-info QR code. Local Network access is used solely to reach your OBS server on the LAN. Note: OBS Studio is a third-party application and is not affiliated with or endorsed by CineTech Digital.

What's New in CTD Live Mobile

2.0.0

August 21, 2026

Version 2.0.0 is the biggest update since launch. If you're coming from the version currently on the App Store, everything here is new to you. HOLD YOUR PHONE UPRIGHT The deck now works in portrait, with no controller and no accessory. The multiview stacks — Program over Preview over a two-column scene grid — and every control moves into one bar across the bottom, with TAKE on the right where your thumb already is. Rotate and it reflows to the wide layout; rotate back and it stacks again. YOUR PALM CAN'T END YOUR STREAM Stream and Record now ask before they fire when you tap them. The tallies sit low on the left rail, exactly where your hand holds the phone, and a resting palm could start or stop a live output. Stopping something that's live is called out as destructive, with a reminder that viewers are affected. Controller presses still fire instantly — pressing a button is deliberate in a way that leaning on glass is not. PUT THE SHOW ON DISPLAY GLASSES Plug in a display that acts as a real second screen — display glasses, a dock, a TV — and the multiview moves onto it. Your phone dims to a plain gesture pad you don't need to look at: - Swipe anywhere to move the selection. Where your finger lands doesn't matter, only the direction. - Tap once to stage that angle in Preview. - Double-tap to cut it to Program. - Hold anywhere to go back to the normal deck. Every gesture answers with haptics, so you can work without looking down: a tick as the selection moves, a firmer bump when you reach the edge of the grid, and a distinctly heavier thump for going to air than for staging. The glasses show the multiview and one small tally in the corner — a pulsing red dot with L while streaming and R while recording. When nothing is running, that corner is empty. If your glasses only mirror your phone rather than acting as a second screen, turn on AR mode in Settings > AR glasses for the same gesture control. ALSO IN THIS RELEASE - Tiles in the tall layouts are now exactly 16:9, so borders hug the picture instead of enclosing black bands. - The multiview background is true black, so the feeds read as floating rather than sitting in grey boxes. - Connecting fails fast with a clear reason instead of spinning on "Connecting..." when OBS can't be reached. ONE THING TO EXPECT While a display is attached, iOS no longer mirrors your phone to it — the app shows the multiview there instead. On a TV that gives you a clean program monitor. You can switch this off with "Enter on external display" in Settings > AR glasses.
