Your iPhone or iPad screen in OBS. Wireless, and it doesn't stop.
Stream your iPhone or iPad screen and app audio to your Mac over Wi-Fi, ready to capture in OBS. Encrypted, paired, and built to keep running.
Coming soon to the App Store · 15-minute broadcasts free, at full quality · iOS 26.2 or iPadOS 26.2 or later and macOS 26.2 or later
An iPad drawing session, straight into an OBS scene.
Built to keep streaming
Screen mirroring apps tend to freeze, lag or quietly stop after a while. MetalPipe was built around one job: get your screen into OBS and keep it there.
Keeps running
When Wi-Fi gets busy, quality adjusts instead of the picture freezing. If the Mac app restarts or Wi-Fi drops, the stream reconnects on its own.
Nothing else to install
One app on your device and one on your Mac. No NDI runtime, OBS plugins, browser sources or virtual audio drivers.
Private by design
Pair once with a 6-digit code. The stream is encrypted and only goes to your own Mac. No account, and no data collected.
Made for capture
A clean window for OBS, correct colours (sRGB and Display P3), even frame pacing, and app audio you add like any other OBS source.
Whatever you make on a small screen
Digital artists
Stream long drawing sessions from your iPad with accurate colour and no cable in the way of your hand.
Mobile gamers
Up to 60 fps with game audio, captured in OBS next to your camera and overlays.
Teachers and tutors
Show handwritten notes or an app live in OBS, or in a call through the OBS virtual camera.
App demos and tutorials
Native resolution, portrait or landscape. With Pro, a backup recording is saved on the device while you stream.
Three steps, once
Pair your device with your Mac
Open MetalPipe Receiver on the Mac and choose Pair iPhone or iPad…. Tap your Mac in the MetalPipe app and type the 6-digit code. You only do this once.
Start a broadcast
Tap the broadcast button in MetalPipe, or long-press Screen Recording in Control Center, and choose MetalPipe. Your screen and app audio appear on the Mac within a couple of seconds.
Capture it in OBS
Add a window capture of MetalPipe Receiver, and an audio capture of the same app for sound. Step-by-step OBS setup.
