Live stream recording
Keep compatible live broadcasts as local files instead of losing them when the sender app exits or the stream ends.
Record live casts
Castin turns your Mac, iPhone, iPad, or Android device into a cast receiver that can play incoming casts and keep compatible live streams as local recordings.
Why it matters
Live casts should not disappear when the sender stops.
Castin is a receiver for people who cast live video to a nearby device and want control after the stream arrives: play it, pause it, keep it organized, or record supported live streams locally.
Features
Built for receiving and recording live streams.
Receiver mode
Castin appears as a cast target, so supported sender apps can find it on the same network.
Play before you commit
Incoming items stay visible in the list, so you can choose whether to play, record, or ignore each cast.
Desktop and mobile
The Mac, iOS, and Android apps share the same receiver model while respecting each platform's playback behavior.

Receiver questions
What people usually mean by "cast and record a live stream".
If you need to cast a live video to a Mac, iPhone, iPad, or Android tablet, the missing piece is often the receiver. Castin fills that local receiver role for compatible casting apps, then keeps live stream handling close to the device.
Castin is not a cloud relay. It is designed around local network discovery, playback, and compatible live stream recording. Open Castin, keep both devices on the same network, and choose the Castin device from the sender app.
