Streamer Times: Stream Schedule. Highlights. Stats. When does your favorite streamer go live next? Who's streaming right now? And what did you miss while you were offline? Streamer Times answers all three. It's the livestream guide for Twitch & YouTube: a TV-style stream schedule with AI predictions, the best clips of the week, and the stats behind your favorite streamers and games — all in one app. STREAM SCHEDULE WITH AI PREDICTIONS Most streamers don't stick to a fixed schedule — our AI does the guessing for you. It learns each streamer's habits from thousands of past streams and predicts when the next one is likely to start, often days in advance. See a full 7-day forecast and plan your evenings around it. YOUR TV GUIDE FOR LIVESTREAMS The program view works like a classic TV guide, but for streaming: who's live right now, who's up next, and what's coming later this week — all your streamers, side by side. NEVER MISS A GO-LIVE Get a push notification the second your streamer goes live, or start your day with a morning overview of everything coming up. You decide which alerts you want. HIGHLIGHTS & CLIPS Missed a stream? Catch up in minutes. Streamer Times collects the top clips of your favorite streamers and the best moments of the week — and helps you discover new creators along the way. STATS & TRENDS Which games are blowing up on Twitch right now? Who are the biggest streamers in your favorite category? Explore trending games, follower rankings, and detailed streamer profiles with schedule, history, and highlights. TWITCH + YOUTUBE IN ONE APP Search a name once and Streamer Times finds the streamer's channels on both platforms automatically. One guide for everything — no more switching apps. YOUR FAVORITES, YOUR SCHEDULE Follow the streamers you care about, filter out the rest, and turn Streamer Times into your personal streaming program. Download Streamer Times for free and always know when your streamer goes live — and what's worth watching.

Twitch chat that keeps up, on your iPhone. 7TV, BTTV and FFZ emotes render inline, animated, in every channel — the same chat your friends see on desktop, not a stripped-down version of it. Open the app and you are in, anonymously, with no account and no sign-in wall. WATCH Live streams, past broadcasts, highlights and clips, in one player. Past broadcasts replay the chat that ran alongside them, in step with the video, with the same emotes and colours as live chat. Picture in Picture and background audio keep a stream going while you do something else. CHAT Third-party emotes, badges, replies, mentions and whispers. Channel history is already there when you join. Pick out mentions, first-time chatters, returning chatters and words you choose with colours you set. Mute words you would rather not read. MODERATE Tap any name to time out, ban, delete a message, or read that person's recent history. Anyone — signed in or not — can block or report. STREAM STUDIO Run your own stream from your phone. Switch OBS scenes, watch bitrate and FPS, start polls and predictions, create a clip, start a raid, and edit your title, category and tags without touching your PC. MADE THE WAY YOU WANT IT Dark, light and OLED themes. Text and emote sizes. Timestamps, badges and each emote provider set globally or per channel. Settings you can search. PRIVACY No advertising SDK. No analytics SDK. No advertising identifier. Nothing sold, ever. Most of what vChat! knows about you never leaves your phone. vChat! Pro is a one-time $2.99 — no subscription. It adds chat search, filters for bots, commands and emote-only spam, and history search on any chatter. vChat! is an independent application and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Twitch Interactive, Inc.
