ONAIR StandBy Signboard

Built by a creator, for creators. We record, stream, and take calls out of the same room everyone else in the house is living in — and got tired of yelling "I'M LIVE!" through a door. So we turned an iPhone into the neon ON AIR sign we actually needed. No hardware, no wiring, no separate gadget on the desk — just the phone that's already sitting there charging. Dock your iPhone in StandBy and it becomes a full-screen, glowing neon sign that tells everyone in the room exactly what's going on, at a glance, from across the room. EVERYTHING THE SIGN CAN DO • Full-screen neon signage in StandBy, powered by Live Activities — updates instantly, no lag, no refresh needed • Three built-in modes: ON/OFF (classic studio pair), LIVE, and ЭФИР (Russian "on-air") — pick the word that fits how you talk about your own sessions • Independent neon colour for each half of the sign — red or green, mixed however you like, so the sign reads correctly at a glance • Built-in session timer — see exactly how long you've been live, recording, or on a call; turn it off with one tap if you don't want it • Two preset slots — save your two most-used setups and flip between them instantly, no need to reconfigure every session • Tap the sign itself to switch state — works right from StandBy or the Lock Screen, no unlocking, no opening the app • Siri Shortcuts — hand-free switching by voice • Control Center buttons — one tap from anywhere in iOS, even with the phone in your pocket • Dynamic Island support — a compact, colour-coded status dot so the state is visible even while you're using another app REAL WAYS PEOPLE USE IT • Podcasters & streamers — a genuine "ON AIR"/"LIVE" sign next to the mic, without buying and wiring an actual neon sign • Home studio owners — that classic recording-booth glow, on hardware you already own • Anyone sharing a room — dock the phone on the desk so family or roommates see instantly when you're mid-call or need quiet, no more knocking on the door mid-take • Remote workers — a clear, glanceable signal that you're "on air" for a meeting, without saying a word • Anyone who just loves the look — a real neon glow on your nightstand, StandBy mode finally doing something more than showing the time TRY IT FREE ONAIR StandBy is free to download and fully functional for 7 days. After that, unlock it forever with a single one-time purchase — no subscription, ever.
