CTD Live Mobile turns your iPhone or iPad into a fast, tactile remote control for OBS Studio. It connects to the OBS WebSocket server (obs-websocket 5.x, built into OBS 28 and later) and lets you run a live production from across the room — no extra screen, no clutter on your stream machine. Built for streamers, AV operators, houses of worship, classrooms, esports, and anyone who runs a multi-camera show in OBS. REQUIRES OBS STUDIO CTD Live Mobile is a remote control. It does nothing on its own. You need OBS Studio (free, open source) running on a separate Mac, PC, or Linux machine, with the WebSocket server enabled under Tools → WebSocket Server Settings. Your iPhone or iPad and the OBS machine must be on the same network. CONNECT IN SECONDS • Scan the QR code from OBS (Tools → WebSocket Server Settings → Show Connect Info) with your camera, or • Enter host, port, and password by hand. • Supports obsws://, ws:// (plaintext), and wss:// (TLS) connections. LIVE MULTIVIEW • A grid of live thumbnails for every scene, refreshed over the socket. • Tap a scene to preview it or cut it straight to air. STUDIO MODE, DONE RIGHT • Full preview-to-program workflow with a dedicated TAKE button. • Hold to quick-cut a focused angle directly to air, then release. STREAM & RECORD CONTROL • Start and stop streaming. • Start and stop recording. • Live stream and record timecode and on-air status at a glance. AUTOMATION • Build scene playlists and trigger rules to automate sequences. • Map scenes, cuts, recording, and audio mute/volume to controller buttons. FULL GAME-CONTROLLER SUPPORT • Drive the show with an Xbox, PlayStation, or MFi controller (GameController framework). • Steer a yellow focus ring with the d-pad or stick, then cut or preview with a button. • Custom button bindings and an on-screen controller help map. DESIGNED FOR THE DEVICE • The deck measures your screen and picks a layout shaped for it — a phone upright, a tablet upright, or either of them turned on its side. • On iPad it runs in Split View and Slide Over, so the deck can sit beside your rundown, your chat or a timer. • Ready for folding screens: it reflows as the phone opens and closes. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no sign-up, no analytics, no ads, no trackers. • Collects no personal data of any kind. • Talks only to the OBS server you configure. Settings and OBS passwords stay on your device. Camera access is used solely to scan the OBS connect-info QR code. Local Network access is used solely to reach your OBS server on the LAN. Note: OBS Studio is a third-party application and is not affiliated with or endorsed by CineTech Digital.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Punge at Free against CTD Live Mobile's $1.99. Punge also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (16 vs 26.0). CTD Live Mobile's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
