We're changing streaming forever.
More Features. Lower Price.
Feature by feature, dollar for dollar, against the biggest names in live streaming.
This is the first app to put these together. Audio and MIDI looping at the same time, a musician's rig and a show runner in one app, and a whole running order you press through. Everything a live show needs, built to go deep rather than to cover the basics.

Only on MyStreamRunner
Features you will find here and only here.
Playaround Jams
Pass the spotlight from player to player. The card on screen shows who is playing now and who is up next, by turn, timer or bars.
Audio and MIDI Looper
Loop yourself live, recorded after your effects, locked to a bar clock the drums follow, and run from a footswitch.
Tools Built for Musicians
Chord charts that transpose, lead sheets in Nashville numbers, set lists, a drum sequencer and a MIDI piano roll, all on stream.
Two Audio Channels
Channels A and B, each with its own effects, loudness target and meters, plus your Audio Unit plugins.
Game Shows From Chat
Viewers answer A to D in chat. Per-player scoring, timed rounds and a live leaderboard, in 76 themes.
Rankings and Tier Lists
Reveal a tier list one item at a time while chat argues about it.
A Traffic Manager For Your MIDI
Plug every bit of gear in at once. Watch what each one sends, then redirect it — a drum module that sends the wrong notes is put right once and stays right.
Your Own App On The Stage
Connect an app and the cue fills in its own buttons, in its own groups. Press one yourself, or let chat type the word. Its picture can take the whole screen.
A Camera Filter You Write
Forty-one ready-made looks come with it — and the last one in the list is a file on your Mac. Save it and the app rebuilds it while the show runs.
Where we are today
- We stream to YouTube today.
- We are Mac first, with Windows in build.
- Our top plan brings 9 guests on camera at once.
