Unofficial OBS controller!
About this app
DISCLAIMER: This app is not in any way affiliated with OBS (Open Broadcaster Software). It's an unofficial, free and open source app to control OBS (https://github.com/Kounex/obs_blade)
OBS Blade is designed to be your stream companion and help you to manage your live stream. While using OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) you can connect to the running instance and gain control over important parts of the software. This should help you to manage what your audience can see / hear without the need to switch to OBS on your machine and make such changes. You can keep doing what you do and easily use this app to control OBS!
Currently OBS Blade supports:
- Start / stop the stream - Changing the active scene - Toggle visibility of scene items (like desktop capture etc.) - Change the volume of your current audio sources (or mute them) - View any Twitch chat and write messages - See live statistics of your stream performance (FPS, CPU usage, kbit/s etc.)
OBS Blade also saves statistics of your previous streams so you can track the overall performance and some nice to know facts!
This app is still in its early stages and will get updated with new features over time - for now the main features which I want to add are:
- More engagement with OBS (renaming, sorting, scripted switching etc.) - Export / merge statistics - Soundboard - Incoming feature requests - (Maybe) Streamlabs client connection
I hope you have a good time using this app. If you encounter any bugs, have feature requests or anything similar, feel free to get in touch with me!

Installation Guide
Open Settings on your Android device
Go to Security → Unknown sources (or Install unknown apps)

Tap "Install" and wait for installation to complete
Launch the app from your home screen
Make sure to re-enable Unknown Sources restrictions after installation for security.
How to install this safely
How to verify the file you downloaded
Before you install anything, confirm the file is the one described here. On a computer, run shasum -a 256 your-download.apk (macOS or Linux) or certutil -hashfile your-download.apk SHA256 (Windows), then compare the output character-for-character with the SHA-256 on this page. If a single character differs, the file is not the build we recorded — delete it.
What the signing certificate proves
Every Android app is signed with a private key that only its developer holds. The fingerprint on this page is a hash of the matching public certificate, and it proves continuity rather than identity: it tells you a build came from whoever signed the earlier ones. Android enforces this at install time — if a package claiming to be com.kounex.obsBlade is signed with a different key, the system will refuse to install it over your existing copy. A fingerprint that changes between releases is worth pausing on, because a repackaged app that has been modified by someone else cannot keep the original signature.
How to roll back to an earlier version
No earlier build is on record for OBS Blade, so there is nothing to roll back to yet. When a second version is published, this section will explain how to move between them safely.
Why we list sources instead of hosting everything
The official store channel is almost always the right choice: it updates automatically and carries the publisher's own distribution guarantees. A direct APK is useful when a device has no store access, when a rollout has not reached your region, or when you need a specific version — and only when the publisher has authorized that copy. APKBrowse does not list pirated, cracked, or unauthorized rebuilds of OBS Blade, and a listing is removed when the evidence for it stops holding up.
