OBS Blade

OBS remote for your stream - scenes, audio, stats and chat, all in your pocket.
New in version 4.2.0
4.2.0 - the first open source release since 3.2, with everything that came since: the "On Air" redesign, tablet layouts, canvases (OBS 32.1+), preview transitions, a chat tab with Twitch, YouTube, Kick and Owncast, and much more.

Coming from 3.2? This build is signed with a new key: uninstall 3.2 first, then install 4.2 (saved connections need to be added again).
DISCLAIMER: This app is not in any way affiliated with OBS (Open Broadcaster Software). It's an unofficial, free and open source app to control OBS (https://github.com/Kounex/obs_blade)

OBS Blade is your stream companion. Connect to OBS over your network and run your whole show from your phone or tablet - no need to jump back to your PC mid-stream.

Built for phone and tablet alike. Needs OBS Studio 28 or newer (OBS WebSocket 5 is built in).

- Start and stop your stream, recording, replay buffer and virtual camera
- Switch scenes, with studio mode and transitions
- Show and hide sources in any scene
- Mix audio with live volume meters, or mute in one tap
- Watch a live scene preview
- Vertical and extra canvases (OBS 32.1+): browse their scenes and sources, and run Aitum Vertical's own stream, recording and replay buffer
- Switch profiles and scene collections, trigger hotkeys
- Keep an eye on stream health: FPS, CPU, bitrate, dropped frames
- Look back on every past stream and recording in your statistics
- Twitch, YouTube, Kick and Owncast chat in its own tab - or next to your controls while you're live
- Arrange the dashboard your way
- Quick Connect: scan the QR code from OBS' WebSocket settings

This is the open source build: no in-app purchases, no tracking. The App Store / Google Play version additionally sells "Pro" extras (native chat engines, activity feed, chat read aloud, custom themes) - those aren't part of this build.

Coming from 3.2.0? Uninstall it first - the signing key changed, so Android won't update it in place.
