LiveInk

urn a second device into your live annotation screen. LiveInk splits a live demo into two roles: • Source (iPhone or Mac): runs the app you want to show and casts its screen • Stage (iPad or iPhone): displays the screen and lets you annotate with Apple Pencil or your finger Pair once with a QR code or a pairing code; LiveInk reconnects automatically. Video travels only between your own devices over the local network, encrypted — no account, no server. SOURCE • Pre-flight checklist: Do Not Disturb, auto-lock, power, same Wi-Fi, content to show • One tap to start casting: a ReplayKit broadcast extension captures the screen and encodes low-latency H.264 • A hint to start next time from Control Center • Adjustable quality: long side 1280 / 1600 / 1920, 30 or 60 fps, bitrate STAGE • Mirrors the Source in real time and rotates automatically • Crops the Source status bar and Home indicator • "Fit" or "Fill the screen"; pinch to zoom temporarily • Branded standby screen; on disconnect it holds the last frame with a "Back in a moment" card — never black ANNOTATE • Laser pointer, pen, vanishing pen (fades after 3 s), arrow, circle, spotlight • 5 colors, 3 widths • Undo and clear — clearing can be undone too • Two-finger tap to undo; double-tap Apple Pencil to switch to laser; squeeze Pencil Pro to tuck the toolbar away • Hover preview on supported iPads • Keyboard shortcuts: L laser, P pen, T vanishing pen, A arrow, O circle, S spotlight, ⌘Z undo, H toolbar • The toolbar collapses to a dot when you start drawing or after 12 seconds idle PRIVACY MASKS • Save mask presets per app and orientation • On-device Vision text recognition suggests where to mask; apply suggestions in one tap • 8 mask colors (Pro); masks can show a "Protected" badge • If one orientation has masks and the other does not, the whole screen is masked first FACE CAM • Front camera picture-in-picture, circle or rounded portrait frame, small / medium / large • 6 animated halos (Pro) that follow the theme color • Drag to snap to a corner; tap for camera and size controls • Rear camera to show real objects (Pro) THEME PACKS • Neon Night, China Red, Pixel Art, New Year Fireworks • Each pack restyles the brand screen, face-cam halo, mask style and ink glow • Buy a pack on its own, or use all of them with Pro LIVE TOOLS • Countdown and prize wheel widgets (Pro) • Screenshot: saves the current frame with masks and ink to Photos (face cam excluded) • First-run live guide: pick your streaming app and start screen recording • "Continue: Stage / Source" shortcut on the home screen • "Try It Now" sample screen: test every stage feature on a single device MAC • Cast the entire screen or a single window with ScreenCaptureKit • When casting the whole screen, LiveInk's own window is never included • Adjustable long side, frame rate and bitrate; usually best left as is PRIVACY • No account, no sign-up • No servers; no data collected • Encrypted local-network transfer (TLS-PSK) • Pairing keys stay in the Keychain; screenshots stay in your photo library FREE AND PRO Casting, annotation, privacy masks and screenshots are free.
