ATEM Tally turns your iPhone and Apple Watch into a tally light for an ATEM switcher. Mount the phone next to your viewfinder or keep it in your pocket: you always know when your camera is live. ON AIR, PREVIEW, STANDBY The whole screen turns red when your input is on program and green when it is on preview, so you can see it from across the studio. The names of the other live inputs appear at the bottom, and an AUX badge shows when your camera is routed to an auxiliary output. LOCK SCREEN AND DYNAMIC ISLAND A Live Activity keeps your tally on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island, so it stays visible while you use other apps or lock the phone. APPLE WATCH The watch app mirrors the tally and taps your wrist when you go on air, when you are on preview and when you leave air. It works when your eyes are on the shot and the phone is in your pocket. ALERTS YOUR WAY • Vibration on every change, or only when you are actually live • Time Sensitive notifications that get through Focus • Optional background mode keeps the connection alive while the phone is locked QUICK SETUP ATEM Tally finds switchers on your network automatically and remembers the ones you used. You can also type the IP address. Then pick your camera from the input names set on the switcher. WORKS WITH ATEM switchers that use the standard network control protocol on UDP port 9910, including the ATEM Mini series, Television Studio and Constellation. The phone and the switcher have to be on the same network. PRIVACY No accounts, no ads, no tracking. ATEM Tally talks only to your switcher on the local network and collects no data.

The clearest difference is update cadence: Timecode Marker at weekly against ATEMTally's every 6 weeks. Timecode Marker also leads on review sentiment (40% vs 26%). ATEMTally's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
