The Story
Est. 2017Hey ๐
I'm Will Townsend, and I created this project late 2017 as I play guitar and often record myself to make sure I'm improving. To do so, I enjoy streaming directly to a private video on YouTube and had great success using OBS Studio to do so. I purchased the Logitech C920 Pro webcam as that is widely considered the best webcam for streaming, but was unhappy with the video quality.
Being an iOS developer, I had my old iPhone lying around and knew that the camera in that was miles better than the C920. I got to work figuring out a way to make a plugin for OBS Studio that would connect to my iPhone. After many hours of experimentation, I managed to get a proof of concept up and running - good enough for me as the sole user - and used it to record myself learning to play guitar.
After showing a few people the app and plugin that I had created, there was obvious interest from others - suggesting that other people would be able to benefit from the project too, so I spent a few weeks making it ready for other people to use, and download via the App Store.
I have plans to continue working on this for as long as it's viable. Here's where things stand:
- โ Focus control
- โ Multiple device support
- โ WiFi streaming
- โ Hardware decoding
- โ Audio support
- โ Remote control
- โ DSLR control (focus peaking, low/high highlights)
- โ HEVC 240FPS
- โ And more...
