Your encoder, fully remote.
The phone companion for BackpackOS. Connect locally or through the remote tunnel and run the encoder from a native app: go live, watch your bonded links, tune it, manage the system.
The whole box, in one app.
Four screens cover everything the encoder does, mirroring the device UI, so nothing feels foreign.
- Live. On-Air status, aggregate bitrate with sparkline, health, target-bitrate slider and per-link bonding rows, plus Go Live and End Stream.
- Network. Every uplink with signal, type, IP, ping and live rate. Bond toggles, DHCP or static config, modem and hotspot scan, auto-activate.
- Stream. Easy or Advanced setup: source, capture device, PROVID relay catalogue or custom SRTLA host, resolution, codec, bitrate and SRT latency.
- System. Temperature, battery, CPU and storage gauges, OS and package updates, remote tunnel, SSH access, restart, reboot and power off.
Built for the backpack.
Everything you need on the encoder, and nothing that belongs on a desktop.
Device profiles
Save local and remote devices, with optional auth via API key or username and password, and onboarding by deep link.
Remote tunnel
Reach the box from anywhere over HTTPS through the device tunnel, and save the tunnel as its own remote device.
Bonding live view
Per-link rates, signal and health in real time. The device pushes a full state snapshot at least once per second, changes land instantly.
Modems & hotspots
Scan for modems and hotspots, auto-activate them, rename tags and run the device hotspot with a write-only passphrase.
Safe while live
The target-bitrate slider stays adjustable, critical settings lock while you are On-Air, no accidental stream kills.
Updates & recovery
OS and package updates, hostname, console recovery, audit log and power controls, full system care from your phone.
Connected in three steps.
Local network or halfway around the world, the app connects both ways.
Connect locally
Add your device via http://backpackos.local/ or any IP in the local network, optionally secured with an API key or login.
Or from anywhere
Enable the remote tunnel on the device and save it as a remote device. HTTPS end to end, no port forwarding.
Go live
Pick a PROVID relay or your own SRTLA host, set resolution, codec and bitrate, and hit Go Live.
Pack it.Run it from your phone.
BackpackOS Remote for Android and iOS is coming soon, native control for your encoder.
