Isocast 0.0.5 for Apple-silicon Macs (macOS 14+). If you're on 0.0.4, Isocast › Check for Updates… installs it. Your camera, microphone and screen permissions carry over.

Switch from OBS

  • Import from OBS on first launch: Isocast finds your OBS scene collections and brings them in with their profile's settings, then Optimize picks settings for Recording, Streaming or Both on your Mac.
  • obs-websocket v5: turn it on with isocast websocket enable and tools built for OBS (Touch Portal, community Stream Deck plugins, obs-websocket scripts) drive Isocast.
  • Replay buffer: save the last 30 seconds (up to 5 minutes) on a hotkey.
  • Virtual camera: Isocast shows up as a camera in Zoom, FaceTime and other apps (macOS asks you to allow it once). Remove it any time from the camera popover.
  • Multistream: stream to several destinations at once from one encode.

Edit in Isocast

  • The editor window (Window › Editor, ⌘E): every ISO track of a take on one timeline. Trim, split, switch angles, and export frame-accurately without touching the originals.

Recording

  • Crash-safe takes, on by default: if Isocast or your Mac crashes, you lose about half a second, and the files are repaired on the next launch.
  • Per-ISO audio: choose each ISO file's audio (camera + mic, screen + desktop audio).
  • Per-app audio: record one app's sound, or everything except some apps (macOS 14.2+).
  • ISO capacity warnings: Isocast tells you when your Mac can't keep up with your ISO files, with a one-click fix, and picks sizes that fit.
  • Streaming after you start recording no longer costs ISO frames, and the program and audio stay clean at your Mac's limit.
  • VP8 WebM stingers (older OBS stingers) play without converting.

Fixes

  • After an update, Isocast replaces an older engine still running (never mid-take).
  • A microphone whose driver stops answering no longer blocks recording for minutes.
  • Faster CLI commands; a hard-to-hit crash when listing silent media as ISO audio; macOS prompts now say "Isocast Engine".
