01Built in
Dual master
The 16:9 show and the 9:16 Shorts master record together, in sync. Every session gives you two finished files. The vertical is directed live, so in the editor it is a source swap, not a second edit.
AI Director
The AI Director reads real signals: your voice, gaze landmarks, the cursor and the keyboard. It moves the frame with cinematic inertia. The shot follows what you actually do and never snaps to a pointless zoom.
Auto audio
A broadcast audio chain runs on its own while you talk: noise reduction, gate, compressor, music ducking under your voice and LUFS mastering. Your voice sits above the music in every take.
Cinematic mode
When a browser video plays, Cinematic mode frames it to the pixel and shows it 1:1. The post-processing chain is bypassed, so the film stays untouched. The room around it goes dark and soft.
Game mode
Game mode detects a fullscreen app by itself. It drops the holographic frame and shows the game edge to edge, with you in a clean PiP. No hands and no scene switching mid-match.
Any GPU
NVIDIA gets zero-copy NVENC. Intel Quick Sync and AMD AMF are matched automatically, with a CPU encoder as the safety net. There are no encoder settings to learn: the studio picks the best path for your machine.
Crash-safe ISO
Every track records as ISO multitrack with one shared timecode, in a crash-safe container. If the stream drops or the PC dies mid-take, every track survives: camera, screens and audio stems, still aligned.
Setup AI
The built-in Setup AI knows all 1,300+ settings. Describe what you need and it proposes a plan, then applies it live. Every option also carries a plain-language hint.
Made for creators
Talk, paint, code or play. The AI director frames every moment, so you never touch a scene switcher.

02AI Director
It reads your voice, eye and iris landmarks, the cursor and the keyboard. It switches between six shot types with weight and beat-synced inertia. Confidence-weighted framing never snaps to a pointless zoom. You can pin or override any shot.
Live direction
The AI director cuts both formats live. You end the session with finished masters instead of an evening in the editor.
03Two formats
Elsewhere you shoot wide and re-cut a vertical by hand for every upload. This studio renders a full 1920×1080 stage and a full 1080×1920 stage at the same moment. Both are live and frame-locked, even on a single GPU.
In your editor the vertical cut is a source swap. The framing is already directed and recorded. You end every session with both masters in hand.
Guest rooms
Send a room link and your guest joins from any browser, with nothing to install. You host with four layouts: interview, screen focus, panel and guest solo. The room engine ships in the installer and works on a fresh PC.
04Studio and edit
SCREENCAST directs your screen and camera. STUDIO cuts a multi-camera talk show by who speaks. EDIT turns recorded sessions into new films. One switch in the menu bar moves between them.
STUDIO mode
Every camera is a seat. The studio director cuts to whoever speaks, by broadcast rules. A quick “mhm” never steals the shot, two voices get a two-shot and silence goes wide.
EDIT mode
Turn on the session tape and the studio logs every input as you record. In EDIT you pick moments from five heat lanes. The director then renders a new film from the originals.
Camera Composer
The Composer learns your empty room and cuts you out on the GPU. Put a color, an image, a soft blur or a looping video behind you. A pro chroma key is ready when you do have a screen.
05Reach and automate
Live captions translate while you talk. One START button opens every platform and one feed collects every chat. Your own AI agent can tune the studio for you.
Captions and voice-over
Live AI captions follow your speech and translate it as you talk. They can post to YouTube as a real caption track. A realtime voice-over reads them aloud, with its own voice for every speaker.
Multistream and chat
Tick YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, Facebook or Kick and press START. Identical streams share one hardware encode. YouTube can take 16:9 and 9:16 in one broadcast, and every chat lands in one feed.
AI agents
A built-in MCP server lets an agent such as Claude Code read and change any of 1,300+ settings, fire actions and take screenshots. Every change shows in the deck and can be undone.

06Compared
Free capture tools record a screen very well. This studio was built for a different job: running your broadcast for you.
Shorts-ready
While you talk, a second, vertical master is directed and recorded for you. There is no second edit in the evening: you publish when you stand up.
Your crew
The shot follows you when you speak, point or type. Viewers see a directed show while you do your work.
Radio voice
Your voice comes out clean, even and always above the music. Nothing to wire, tune or keep an eye on.
One link
Send a link and your guest is in, from any browser. No echo, no cable maze and no “can you hear me now?”
Ready-made look
Holographic glass, depth and living light dress the stage the moment you open the app. You bring the content and the studio brings the look.
07For you
A broadcast app that adapts to you, not the other way around.
For artists
Two or three monitors, reference boards and your canvas in the middle: work the way you always do. The director finds the story on your screens and frames it for the audience.
For vibe coders
The frame follows your caret while you type and holds the work shot until you stop. Pages with API keys, tokens or stream keys are frosted before viewers can read them.
For gamers
When your game goes fullscreen, the show goes with it: edge to edge, with you in the corner. You press no keys mid-match.
For just chatting
Chat from every platform shows up on screen, each author in a color of their own. The camera follows your face and gaze, and the music steps back the moment you speak.
Native 4K
You like a sharp canvas, and so do your viewers. Work at native resolution and the smallest stroke, the thinnest line and the tiniest node still reach their screen.
Comfort first
A broadcast studio designed around comfort. No scene collections, no overlays to maintain and no second monitor given up to a control room. You work and it broadcasts.
08Together
live.hexart.io grows with its creators. Stream, paint or teach, and help decide what the studio does next.

10All features
Every feature below works in the free version.
Two masters
The wide show and the vertical cut render and record at the same moment, locked to one clock. You watch both live while you work.
Six shot types
Close-up when you talk, desk view when you work, pointer chase when you demo. Film frame when you watch, edge to edge when you play.
Self-switching
Play a web video and the stage becomes a cinema, with the film shown as it is. Go fullscreen in a game and the show goes edge to edge, with you in the corner. Both modes end on their own.
Voice first
Your mix has a fixed order: voice on top, game or app sound below it and music at the bottom. The studio keeps it that way in every take. Other apps can use the studio as their microphone.
Probe-tested
At launch the studio tries your machine’s encoders from NVIDIA, Intel and AMD. It picks the one that truly works, with a CPU fallback standing by. You never open an encoder menu.
Every track
Camera, each monitor and your audio stems are separate files sharing one timecode. In the edit you can remix anything, and after a crash you lose nothing.
Co-hosting
Guests join from a browser while you run the room natively. Four co-hosting layouts and per-guest volume, mute or remove sit in one place.
Total control
Tell the built-in Setup AI what you want and it configures the studio live. Prefer your hands? Every action also maps to hotkeys, MIDI and Stream Deck.
VST 3 effects on every audio channel. A plug-in that crashes goes quiet and the show goes on.
Send 16:9 and 9:16 as two named NDI channels with the same audio.
CIRCLE, STUDIO, CYBER, NOIR, VHS and PODCAST restyle the whole picture in one click.
Ten generative scenes for the monitors behind you, moving with your music and your voice.
Pages with API keys or stream keys are frosted edge to edge, and PANIC hides everything at once.
Delay the show by up to 10 s and the director zooms out before your mouse even moves.
Seamless crossfades, ducking under your voice and a LoFi pack included.
Stingers with alpha over the live show, saved as presets and fired from one key.
Your finished mix becomes a microphone for calls, with mix-minus so nobody hears an echo.
With several cameras, the shot cuts to the one you are looking at.
Record in HDR10 while every stream stays in clean SDR.
A touchscreen monitor becomes a bar for modes, REC, mic and camera.
Browser add-on
Press play and the studio dims the lights. The film fills the frame untouched while you stay in the picture. A small free browser add-on lands the framing exactly on the player, on every video site.
Optional: the app works fully without it. The add-on is free, about 10 KB, talks only to the app on your own PC and ships in the installer.
11Requirements
No gaming rig required. An ordinary i5 laptop with integrated graphics holds a steady 60 fps. The app probes your hardware and picks the best encoder itself.
12Freeware
100% freeware: every feature, for life, with no catch.
Freeware covers the tool itself. The full EULA and safety statement are at live.hexart.io/eula.
Your recordings and streams carry a discreet live.hexart.io mark in the corner. That is the whole deal. If you want the logo gone or replaced with your own, write to us about a license.
13FAQ
A native Windows live studio. It records and streams a 16:9 and a 9:16 master from one session, while an AI director frames every shot. Audio is mastered automatically and every take is crash-safe ISO multitrack.
The studio is freeware: every feature, for life, with no account and no limits. Your output carries a small live.hexart.io logo in the corner, and that is the whole catch. To remove the logo, write to us about a license.
No. Any GPU works, integrated Intel or AMD graphics included, and an ordinary i5 laptop holds a steady 60 fps. The app picks the best encoder itself: NVENC, Quick Sync, AMF or a CPU x264 safety net. NVIDIA gets the zero-copy path.
No. Both masters render and record on a single GPU. A second GPU adds headroom for the heaviest setups, such as two 4K60 encodes at once.
It does the opposite. It reads real signals (voice, eye landmarks, cursor and typing) and cuts with confidence-weighted framing and cinematic inertia. When it is not sure, it does not move. You can pin or override any shot.
You create a room and send a link. The guest opens it in a browser, with nothing to install. Mix-minus audio means nobody hears their own echo. You moderate each guest and pick one of four co-hosting layouts.
No. The tool is free for life and no subscription exists. A small logo shows on the output. Removing it takes a one-time license, and you only need to write if you want that.
No, and that is the point of the architecture. ISO multitrack sits in a crash-safe container with one shared timecode, stems included. A dropped stream or a crash keeps every recorded track intact.
Not yet. Windows 10/11 is available today and macOS is planned. Write to us and we will let you know when it lands.
You need Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit) and any GPU, integrated Intel or AMD graphics included. Add a regular dual- or quad-core CPU, 8 GB of RAM and about 3 GB of disk space. Everything the app needs ships in the installer.
Yes. The freeware license covers commercial use: client work, monetised channels and company streams. The output carries the small live.hexart.io logo, and a one-time license removes it.
Yes: no account, no spyware and no ads. Your recordings and API keys never leave your PC. live.hexart.io is in alpha and the builds are not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen does not recognise the publisher. In the "Windows protected your PC" window, click More info, then Run anyway. Do this only for the installer downloaded from live.hexart.io. The full terms are on the EULA page.
When a web video plays, Cinematic mode turns your stream into a screening while the room dims. The optional add-on shows the studio where the player sits, for pixel-perfect framing. The app works without it. Install it in 2 minutes.
YouTube, Twitch, TikTok Live, Facebook Live and Kick, each with its own format and quality, from one session. YouTube can take 16:9 and 9:16 in one broadcast, and NDI sends both formats to other software.
Yes. A built-in MCP server lets agents such as Claude Code change settings and fire actions. Setup AI also runs on Claude Code, Codex and Gemini CLI. Going live, recording, privacy and payments wait for you.
Yes. Turn on the session tape in OUTPUTS and open EDIT after the session. You pick moments on five heat lanes and the studio renders a new film from the originals, in 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1.
Yes. STUDIO mode treats every camera as a seat and cuts to whoever speaks, with broadcast timing. Each seat can have its own wireless mic, and MOSAIC shows everyone at once.
The studio and the AI director are free and run on your PC. Optional cloud extras, such as translated captions, voice-over, the AI commentator and AI backgrounds, use your own provider keys. Every paid background waits for your click.
