Three tabs, one for each job

Present

See the current slide, the next one and your speaker notes on your phone.
Touch and drag on the screen to use it as a laser pointer.
Tap any slide in the overview to jump straight to it.
With FreeShow and ProPresenter, step through verses and the song order, and clear the background or text separately.

Broadcast

Switch OBS scenes; in Studio Mode, preview first and then transition.
Mute microphones, instruments and PC audio one by one.
Recording and streaming start only with a long press, so they never start by accident.
Drop markers while recording to note the spots to edit later.

Input

Turn hotkeys, text and media keys into buttons.
Use your phone as a trackpad or keyboard.
Paste phrases you use often in one tap.
Hand your presets to another phone with a QR code.

No surprises on stage

Commands travel only inside the same network
A new remote must be allowed on the PC, and you can block it at any time
If the connection drops, you get a clear alert and it reconnects
The OBS password is stored encrypted in the PC's Keychain or Credential Manager

For teams · Paid · In the works

Many PCs across a church or school, in one place

See the status of the PCs in the sanctuary, education wing and classrooms, with the remotes connected to each, on one screen. Give each remote its own permissions and send presets to several PCs at once.

Manage PCs across buildings and networks with a XIUSoft account (Sign in with Apple or Google).
The server knows only minimal status such as PC names and whether they are online; commands, presets and messages are end-to-end encrypted with your team's key.
The admin pays through the app store on their phone. The Windows and macOS admin screens use the same account.

The remote, app integrations and local features you use on your own stay free; only team management is paid.
