OBS is powerful — and fragile
Scenes, sources, filters, plugins, codecs. One plugin update and the scene breaks. Every show starts not with a greeting but with “why is there no audio”.
One live. Every audience. Every revenue stream.
Livoza is a native Mac app: it composes your picture in layers, sends one broadcast to YouTube, VK Video, Telegram and Instagram at once, merges every chat into one feed and takes donations right inside the frame. No OBS, no cloud relay, no subscription.
Sound familiar?
Streaming today isn't one app, it's a stack: picture in one, distribution in another, donations on a third tab, chat in a fourth window. Each with its own password, its own window and its own way to crash mid-show.
Scenes, sources, filters, plugins, codecs. One plugin update and the scene breaks. Every show starts not with a greeting but with “why is there no audio”.
OBS for the picture, a multistream service for distribution, a donations tab, a chat window, something else for captions. Five subscriptions, five windows, five points of failure.
Donations live on a separate page, the link gets lost in the description, the viewer leaves to pay and never comes back. The moment attention peaks is wasted.
Some watch on YouTube, some on VK and Telegram, some on Instagram. Pick one platform and you lose the rest. Go everywhere by hand and you burn out.

One “Go live” button, one master stream from your MacThe core idea
Multistreaming isn't “one more feature”. It's how you stop choosing between platforms. Your Mac produces one show, and Livoza carries it wherever your community lives — and brings chat and money back into a single window.
Not an “OBS replacement” — the operating system of your live business: picture, distribution, conversation and monetisation in one place.
How it works
No RTMP jargon between you and the button. Scene, destinations, go live. Everything else — chat, donations, timer — is already wired into the same window.
Camera, images, text, QR code, audio visualiser, ticker, product showcase, donation panel — as layers, with the mouse, in percent of the frame. Separate layouts for 16:9 and 9:16.
The preview is the exact frame that goes on airPaste stream keys for YouTube, VK Video, Telegram, Instagram and any RTMP address. Connect chat and donation sources. Keys are stored in the macOS Keychain, not in a text file.
Each destination can be toggled on and off individuallyOne button. Your Mac renders the scene on the GPU, encodes one master stream and fans it out to every enabled destination, adapting the format per platform. A destination drops — it reconnects; a process dies — it restarts.
Designed for 24/7 shows with nobody at the desk* Captions currently run as a separate overlay for an external encoder — see “Features”.
Screens
The schematics below mirror the real app screens. The interface is currently in Russian; an English UI is on the roadmap.
A preview of the exact frame going out, the state of every destination, the timer, today's donations and the Go-live button. If something drops, you see it here — not in the chat.
Camera, images, text, QR, eight audio visualisers, now-playing, ticker, showcase and donation panel. Drag with the mouse — the engine redraws the frame live. Two independent layouts: 16:9 and 9:16.
A countdown that donations, likes and messages extend; a daily goal; QR codes for any payment method; a product carousel with QR right in the frame. All of it is scene layers, not a separate tab.
YouTube, VK Video and Telegram in one feed, each message tagged with its platform. A local AI moderator hides spam; a local co-host answers questions and thanks donors — the models run on your Mac via Ollama.
Features
Small label: what it's called in the app. Big line: what it does for you. Everything listed works in the current build; where there's a caveat, it's written down.
Two independent compositions — not an auto-crop. Build a horizontal one for YouTube and VK, a vertical one for Instagram and Shorts feeds, and switch with one button. One orientation goes on air at a time; both at once is on the roadmap.
One master stream from your Mac goes to YouTube (with backup ingest), VK Video, Telegram, Instagram and one custom RTMP address. The format is adapted per platform automatically.
Layers: camera, images, text, QR, eight audio visualisers, now-playing, ticker, showcase, donation panel. GPU rendering; the preview is the same frame that goes on air.
A countdown extended by donations, likes and messages (1 ₽ = 1 s — configurable), a daily goal, auto-stop at zero. Sources: DonationAlerts, Telegram Stars, YouTube Super Chat, your own webhook.
YouTube Live Chat, VK Video comments and a Telegram bot in one feed, tagged by platform. Tips and Super Chats are highlighted. Reply through the bot without leaving the panel.
A carousel of products or services right in the scene: name, price, QR to a link. Plus standalone QR codes for any way to support you: SBP, Boosty, Telegram Stars, crypto wallets, your own link.
Local models via Ollama: the moderator (Llama Guard + blocklist) hides spam; the co-host answers chat, thanks donors and fills dead air. Voice through macOS system voices routed via BlackHole.
Local, on your Mac · requires Ollamawhisper.cpp transcribes speech on your Mac; Ollama translates into 11 languages. For now this is a separate overlay — for an external encoder or a second screen; native in-frame captions are in progress.
Overlay for external encoder · betaA supervisor restarts the engine and fan-out, a watchdog reconnects a dropped destination, the display never sleeps, logs rotate, keys live in the macOS Keychain. Proven on round-the-clock music streams.
The now-playing layer reads the track from djay Pro, Apple Music, Spotify or any player through macOS Now Playing. Visualisers react to BlackHole audio or a selected input.
Privacy
No relay servers: the stream goes from your computer straight to the platforms. Stream keys live in the macOS Keychain. AI models run locally. You can verify all of it with any network monitor.
No Livoza account, no server of ours between you and the platforms, no telemetry from the app. You buy it — you use it.
Honest arithmetic
Public prices of Restream, Streamlabs Ultra and StreamYard at the time of research (2026). The products are not identical: cloud services don't load your uplink — Livoza sends the streams from your Mac.

FAQ
No. Livoza has its own engine: the scene is rendered on your Mac's GPU, encoded and distributed to the platforms without OBS. You can plug OBS in as an external source if you already have a scene you love — but it isn't required.
YouTube (with backup ingest), VK Video, Telegram, Instagram (via a Live Producer key) and one custom RTMP address — Twitch or Kick, for example. TikTok only via window capture in TikTok LIVE Studio. Chat is aggregated from YouTube, VK and Telegram; there is no Twitch/TikTok/Kick chat yet.
No — one at a time. The layouts are independent: horizontal and vertical scenes live separately and you choose which one is on air. In horizontal mode Instagram receives a landscape frame. Simultaneous dual-orientation output is on the roadmap, but we won't promise dates.
The app itself, plus via Homebrew: ffmpeg and mediamtx (fan-out) and BlackHole (system-audio capture). It's a one-time setup with a guide inside the app. For the AI co-host and moderator — Ollama and one model; for captions — whisper.cpp. No sign-up, no cloud account.
Scene, preview, composer and all AI features — yes, locally. But a broadcast means sending a stream to platforms, so going live needs a stable uplink: roughly 5–6 Mbit/s per enabled destination.
No. Livoza is macOS on Apple Silicon only: the engine is built on Metal, and the app relies on the macOS Keychain and system voices. A Windows version is not planned.
No. Money goes directly to you via DonationAlerts, Telegram Stars, YouTube Super Chat or your own QR links (SBP, Boosty, crypto and anything else). Livoza only shows them in the frame and extends the timer — payments never pass through us.
