Read full description

Redcue is a remote control for OBS Studio. Leave the keyboard, keep the stream. Connect over your own local network and take the board with you: SCENES Cut or fade between scenes from anywhere in the room. See what is live and what is queued at a glance. AUDIO Ride every input on a proper fader. Mute, unmute, and watch the meters move in real time. STREAM AND RECORD Start and stop the stream, the recording, and the replay buffer. Bitrate, dropped frames, CPU, and disk space stay on screen while you work. YOUR LAYOUT The dashboard is yours to arrange. Drag the panels you use into reach and put the rest away. THEMES A built-in theme editor, so the app matches your setup instead of fighting it. MULTIPLE MACHINES Save every OBS you connect to and switch between them. Passwords live in the iOS Keychain. FINDS OBS FOR YOU Redcue searches your network for a running OBS. You can also type an address or scan the connection QR code OBS generates. BUILT FOR IPHONE AND IPAD Native SwiftUI, adaptive layouts, full VoiceOver and Dynamic Type support. FREE, AND FREE MEANS FREE Every feature above is free. There is no subscription, no trial, no paywall, and no account. Settings has an optional tip jar - three one-time purchases that unlock nothing and simply say thanks. NO SERVER, NO ACCOUNT, NO TRACKING Redcue talks only to your own computer. Nothing is collected, nothing is transmitted anywhere else, and there is no analytics or advertising code of any kind. WHAT YOU NEED - OBS Studio 28.0 or later, which already includes obs-websocket - Both devices on the same local network - In OBS: Tools > WebSocket Server Settings > Enable WebSocket server Redcue is not affiliated with or endorsed by the OBS Project. OBS and OBS Studio are trademarks of their respective owners.
