ShioCaster Companion
Step away from the Mac. Stay in control.
The studio doesn't live on the keyboard. Companion moves the controls that matter to a touch device — at the guest mic, in the other room, wherever the conversation happens.

Great shows don't happen behind a screen
In a real studio you move. You lean into the interview, you walk to the guest, you check the room. Every trip back to the Mac breaks that. Companion was built so the controls travel with you.
Supported controls
The surface you actually need
Transport control
Start, stop and monitor the show from anywhere in the room.
Fader control
Ride levels on a touch surface built for quick, precise moves.
Mute & solo
Instant channel decisions without hunting for the pointer.
Cue actions
Trigger cues and scenes at exactly the right moment.
Remote record
Start and stop recording without touching the Mac.
Studio status
Live overview of what's on air, recording or armed.
Connection
Local network. Low latency. No cloud in between.
Companion talks to ShioCaster directly over your local network, so control feels immediate and keeps working even when the internet doesn't.
- Direct local-network connection
- Simple pairing from ShioCaster
- No account required for local control
