OMTake is the first iOS app to stream live video and audio using the OMT (Open Media Transport) protocol — the open-source alternative to NDI developed by vMix/StudioCoast. Connect your iPhone as a wireless camera source to vMix or any OMT-compatible receiver on your local network. No additional hardware needed. STREAMING - HD, UHD, and 4K resolution support - 24 to 60 fps depending on resolution - Selectable encoding quality (LQ/MQ/HQ) with live hot-switch - Audio capture with one-tap mute CAMERA - Multi-lens zoom with 0.5x, 1x, 2x presets and smooth pinch zoom - Front and back camera support - Tap to focus and expose - Automatic lens switching via virtual multi-camera devices PRODUCTION - Tally indicator (program/preview) with on-screen border and torch feedback - Configurable source name visible on your switcher - Corner brackets framing the 16:9 image area - Icons rotate for landscape use while layout stays locked RELIABILITY - Thermal management with automatic quality downgrade - Auto-stop protection at critical temperature - Bonjour/DNS-SD network discovery OMTake Pro (one-time purchase) removes the watermark for a clean, professional output. Requires a local network connection to an OMT-compatible receiver such as vMix. ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | OMTake Pro | $8.99 | one-time | ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.4 — 2026-08-21 • Pro unlock now works offline. If you've purchased Pro, OMTake remembers it on the device: no watermark and no upgrade prompt, even with no internet connection, after a reinstall, or right after a cold start. The very first frame you send is already clean. • Updated OMT engine for better stability and compatibility with vMix and other OMT receivers on your network. • OMTake now requires iOS 16.6 or later. Found a bug or have a feature request? We'd love to hear from you. ### 1.3 — 2026-06-20 OMTake 1.3 makes your stream steadier under pressure — and makes going watermark-free clearer than ever. • Remove the watermark in one tap. A clear "Remove watermark" button is now easy to find in both portrait and landscape, and the OMTake Pro screen spells out what you get: a clean, professional feed plus better performance — without the overlay, your camera streams directly instead of being composited onto every frame, lowering CPU and memory use. • Broadcast-safe when it heats up. If the device warms up, OMTake now eases the frame rate within the same broadcast family (PAL stays PAL, NTSC stays NTSC) instead of switching cadence, so your receiver never sees judder. The live indicator shows the real frame rate being sent. • Live status stays visible in landscape. The on-air / fps indicator no longer disappears when you rotate the device. • Cleaner network discovery. Stopping a stream now tells receivers to drop the source right away, so it re-appears cleanly the next time you go live. • More accurate tap-to-focus. Tapping the preview now focuses exactly where you tap. • Orientation-aware streaming. The preview stays steady while the outgoing stream follows the device orientation. Thanks for using OMTake! ### 1.2 — 2026-06-08 Version 1.2 What's new: • Orientation-aware streaming — rotate your iPhone and the video sent to vMix rotates with it, while your on-screen viewfinder stays steady. • More reliable on-air tally — the red/green border and on-air light now hold up correctly, including when you rotate the device mid-stream. • Full quality under heat — when your iPhone gets warm, OMTake protects your feed instead of dropping its resolution or frame rate. Your stream stays clean for every viewer. • Sharper tap-to-focus — focus now lands exactly where you tap. • Smoother zoom across the ultra-wide, wide and telephoto lenses. • Your resolution, frame rate and quality (LQ/MQ/HQ) are now remembered between sessions. • Stability improvements and bug fixes, including a fix for a freeze when stopping a stream. Thanks for using OMTake! Questions or feedback?

The on-device preview stays locked in portrait so your framing never jumps while you shoot. NV12 capture pipeline — the camera now captures in native biplanar YUV (NV12) instead of BGRA. Lower CPU load, less heat, and more headroom for sustained HD/UHD/4K streaming. Persistent settings — resolution, frame rate, OMT quality, source name, mic mute and camera selection are saved automatically and restored on the next launch. IMPROVED Smoother stop/restart — fixed a UI freeze that could occur when stopping the stream, with additional race-condition guards in the sender lifecycle. Sharper watermark — now drawn directly on the Y plane, no extra color-space conversion. Refined top bar — better spacing and safe-area handling on notched and Dynamic Island devices. Better camera handling — improved tap-to-focus and pinch-to-zoom across front, back, ultra-wide and telephoto lens switches. Thermal feedback — clearer status display when the device throttles under sustained load. COMPATIBILITY Now iPhone-only (iPad target removed to focus on handheld camera work). Thanks to everyone testing OMTake on real vMix setups — your feedback shapes every update. ### 1.0 — 2026-05-18 No release notes. ## Apps similar to OMTake | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [BinaryLive Stream](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/binarylive-stream/id6739448159) | — | Free | Photo & Video | | [TV Guest](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/tv-guest/id1565141455) | — | Free | Photo & Video | | [OMT Camera](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/omt-camera/id6761876314) | — | Free | Photo & Video | | [CaME App](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/came-app/id1670304677) | — | Free | Photo & Video | | [VisLive NDI Monitor](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/vislive-ndi-monitor/id6466559694) | — | $9.99 | Photo & Video | | [Studio Camera Lite](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/studio-camera-lite/id6749002460) | — | Free | Photo & Video | ## More apps by Xavier Carpentier - [Air Strasbourg](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/air-strasbourg/id860296972) All apps by Xavier Carpentier: https://appshunter.io/developer/860296975 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
