Go live anywhere.
One tap. Zero setup.
One Tap IRL is the IRL livestream app that handles the hard parts for you — encoding, bitrate, reconnects, multistreaming — so you can walk out the door and just go live. Version 2.0 adds the production side too: scenes, a drag-and-drop overlay editor, one chat feed for every platform, and tips that go straight to you.
30-day free trial · then $2.50/month · cancel anytime
That one price covers the app and the cloud relay. Elsewhere the relay alone runs $10–180 a month, before you add an encoder. See the comparison →
Built for the street, not the studio
Every feature exists to answer one question: does the stream stay up, look good, and stay effortless when you're on the move?
●One-tap streaming
Open the app, tap once, you're broadcasting. Quality, resolution and encoder settings are chosen automatically for your device.
Why it matters: fumbling with settings at a stream start costs viewers. Zero setup means you never miss a moment.
▲Adaptive bitrate
Continuously measures your real network throughput and adjusts video bitrate in seconds — up when the network is strong, down before viewers see a freeze.
Why it matters: mobile networks swing wildly. Fixed bitrate means stutter; adaptive means smooth. How it works →
⟳Automatic reconnect
Tunnels, elevators, dead zones — when the connection drops, One Tap reconnects and resumes the stream automatically, in seconds.
Why it matters: an IRL stream that requires a phone restart after every dropout is unusable. Recovery must be automatic.
🎥GoPro & DJI cameras
Use a GoPro (one QR scan) or DJI action camera as your stream camera. Video flows into your phone and through the full pipeline — overlays, adaptive bitrate, multistream.
Why it matters: action cams give stabilized POV shots your phone can't. No capture card, no laptop. GoPro guide →
⇶Multistream
Broadcast to Twitch, YouTube and Kick simultaneously — plus your own RTMP/SRT server — from one phone, one encode.
Why it matters: grow every audience at once instead of choosing one platform. Multistream details →
⚙Hardware encoding
Uses your phone's dedicated H.264 hardware encoder — not the CPU — for high quality at low battery drain and heat.
Why it matters: software encoding cooks your phone in 30 minutes. Hardware encoding streams for hours.
🔑Auto stream keys
Log in to Twitch, YouTube or Kick once — your stream key is fetched and configured automatically. No copy-pasting from dashboards.
Why it matters: stream keys are the #1 setup hurdle for new streamers. Here they simply disappear.
🖥OBS & own server
Send your stream to OBS on any PC over SRT, or run the free One Tap home-server bundle on your own machine and fan out to every platform from there.
Why it matters: full control of your production — scenes, alerts, recording — with your phone as the wireless camera. OBS setup →
⛭Burn-in overlays
Clock, speed (GPS), connection status and your logo — rendered into the video itself, visible on every platform without browser sources.
Why it matters: IRL viewers love context. Speed overlays on a bike stream tell the story for you.
⏺Record while streaming
Save a local MP4 copy on your phone while you stream — same encode, no extra battery cost.
Why it matters: platform VODs get muted or expire. Your local copy is yours forever, ready for editing.
📊Live health & dashboard
On-screen bitrate, health and per-destination status — plus a web dashboard your moderator can watch remotely, with a remote stop button.
Why it matters: when something looks wrong, you need to know if it's your network or the platform — instantly.
▣Dual camera (picture-in-picture)
Stream your front and back cameras at the same time — your face in a movable, resizable bubble over the main shot. Tap to swap which camera is fullscreen.
Why it matters: show your reaction and the action together, the way top IRL and reaction streams do. Dual-camera details →
◎Video stabilization
Optical and electronic stabilization work together (where your phone supports them) to smooth out walking, cycling and handheld motion.
Why it matters: shaky IRL footage is the fastest way to lose viewers. Smooth video keeps them watching.
⇄Network bonding & failover
Use WiFi and mobile at the same time. The stream prefers your strongest link and spills over to the other when it saturates — and if one dies completely, it switches over and back automatically. No BELABOX box, no bonding hardware.
Why it matters: dead zones and flaky WiFi kill IRL streams. Failover was verified in both directions — WiFi → mobile and back. How bonding works →
◐Your channel survives a dead zone
Lose signal completely and your stream normally just ends. Turn this on and our relay takes over instead, holding your channel with a "be right back" card until your phone reconnects — then it cuts straight back to your camera. One switch in Settings; it reuses the stream keys you already entered.
Why it matters: this is the one thing the $10–129/month cloud services had that a phone app could not do — when the network is gone, nothing gets out of the phone, not even a BRB scene. It has to happen on a machine that is still online. Now it does, at no extra cost. How it works →
🔍Choose your lens
Switch between ultra-wide, main and telephoto back cameras live — the app labels them automatically by focal length.
Why it matters: ultra-wide for tight spaces, telephoto for reach — pick the right glass for the moment without stopping the stream.
💬Unified chat on screen
Twitch, Kick and YouTube chat arrive in one feed inside the streaming view, each message tagged with its platform colour. Move it, resize it, set its transparency, or filter down to mods, subs and tips.
Why it matters: multistreaming splits your community across three chats. One feed puts it back together — no second device.
🎬Scenes
Your whole setup on one tap: camera, dual-camera, microphone and overlays switch together. Four ready-made scenes — Walking, Talking, Dual cam, BRB — and you can save your current setup as your own. Works mid-stream, no interruption.
Why it matters: this is what a PC streamer has in OBS. Now it's in your pocket, and the scene bar folds away so nothing covers your shot.
✥Overlay editor
Drag your clock, status, speed and logo anywhere on the picture and pinch to resize them. Your layout is saved and burned into the video.
Why it matters: fixed overlay corners fight your framing. What you see here is exactly what viewers get, on every platform.
♥Tips & donations — 0% cut
Connect your own payment accounts (Stripe, PayPal, Vipps, Ko-fi, MobilePay, Swish, PIX, UPI and more) and get a shareable tip page at onetapirl.com/tip/your-name. The provider list adapts to your country.
Why it matters: the money goes straight to you. One Tap IRL never touches it and takes no cut — unlike every donation platform that skims the top.
On the roadmap: HEVC/AV1 encoding, on-screen alerts for follows and tips, browser-source overlays, NDI output, iOS. We only list what actually ships today — everything above is in the app right now.
