We’re building the studio we kept wishing existed.
One room where a show gets recorded, produced, broadcast and published, instead of four subscriptions, three exports and one recording that came back broken.
Making a show is easy. Keeping it is the hard part.
Remote video has been solved for meetings and left half-finished for everything else. The call connects, the conversation is good, and then the file arrives at 480p with a stutter over the best answer. What got recorded was the video call, not the people in it.
So the first thing we built wasn’t a layout picker. It was the guarantee underneath it: every person in the room is recorded at full quality on their own machine, and that file gets to safety while you’re still talking.
The tool should be boring. The show shouldn’t.
Three participants, each with a 1080p local master: one uploading, one already safe, one resumed after a disconnect.
The preview is the program
There is one stage in this product. It renders what you see while you produce, what your guests see on their screens, and the frames that go out to the stream and the embed. There aren’t three renderers being kept in step. There is one.
That single decision is why a layout change reaches your audience in about a second with nothing to restart, and why nobody in the room has to be told “trust me, it looks fine on my end”.
The same program frame twice: what the host sees and what the guest sees, identical.
Three promises, in writing
These exist because they’re what people complain about most in the tools we’re replacing. Billing first, lost recordings second.
Never lose a take
Local recording for everyone, background uploads, and resume-after-crash by design rather than by support ticket. You can watch it happen while the session is still running.
Honest billing
One flat price, published before anyone is asked to pay. No credits, no attendee bands, no surprise overage at the end of a good month, and cancelling actually cancels.
Unlimited where they meter
Recording hours, storage, destinations and viewers on your embed are not the things we charge you by, and your recordings don’t expire on a countdown.
Private beta, invite-only, and free while it lasts.
We’re opening rooms a handful at a time so we can fix what breaks while the number of people affected is still small. If you leave your address, we’ll write when yours is ready, and you’ll hear our pricing before it goes public.
