## What is 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. Pro removes the small badge in the corner and unlocks 6 animated halos, the rounded frame and rear camera, custom branding, 8 mask colors, all theme packs and live widgets.

Requires two devices on the same Wi-Fi. iOS: iOS 17 / iPadOS 17 or later. Mac: macOS 14 or later.
