NexusIRL: free IRL live streaming for Android

NexusIRL is a free, open-source IRL streaming app for Android: stream live from your phone while you are out and about, to Twitch, Kick, YouTube or your own server. It is an Android port of Moblin, the iOS IRL streaming app, and works with Moblin’s settings files, remote control and Moblink relays. No accounts, ads, analytics or tracking.

Features

• Bonding (SRTLA): combine mobile data, Wi-Fi and Ethernet, and other phones’ mobile data through Moblink relays, into one stream that keeps going when a network fades.
• SRT, SRTLA, RTMP and RTMPS, H.264 and H.265 (HEVC) video, AAC or Opus audio.
• Adaptive bitrate that follows the connection, as in Moblin.
• Twitch and Kick: chat, alerts, title and category, and a chat bot (!moblin commands).
• OBS remote control: switch OBS scenes and start or stop OBS from the phone, with an automatic BRB scene while the phone’s stream reconnects.
• Scenes and widgets: text, images, maps, browser sources, LUTs and effects.
• Remote control from a browser or another phone, and recording to the phone.
• Moblin compatible: import a Moblin settings file from an iPhone.

Questions

Is there a Moblin app for Android? Moblin itself is iOS only. NexusIRL is an independent, open-source Android port of it, made with the same protocols, so an iPhone running Moblin and a phone running NexusIRL can share settings, remote control each other and bond each other’s mobile data.

Is it free? Yes, free and open source under the MIT licence, with no paid tier, accounts or ads.

Which phones does it run on? Android 10 or newer. It is tested on a Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra and a Huawei P30 Pro; reports from other phones are very welcome.

Is NexusIRL made with AI? Yes. Most of its code, tests and documentation are written by an AI coding assistant (Anthropic’s Claude), directed and reviewed by the maintainer. Every change is checked by automated tests, Moblin’s ported test suites, security scans and field tests on real phones, and release builds are reproducible. How it is made.

What do I need for bonding? A server that receives SRTLA, such as a self-hosted SRTLA receiver or an IRL hosting service, and the phone’s mobile data plus Wi-Fi or a second phone as a Moblink relay.
