Mephonecast
Phone-to-desktop recording for podcast and video production.
Your phone captures. Your Mac controls. Same Wi‑Fi, no cloud.
Tired of spending a lot of money to produce quality content—or paying for a big team? You don't have to. Mephonecast gives you a pro-style setup using the phones you already have.
Our app lets you film in up to 4K and connect up to 4 cameras at once. Your phones handle capture; your Mac runs the control room. Same Wi‑Fi, no cloud.
Live preview, remote record control, and one-click pull of recordings to your Mac—all from your desk.
What it does
Phone as capture device
The mobile app (Phonecap) uses your phone's camera and mic. Recording runs entirely on the device, so brief Wi‑Fi drops don't affect the take. You get high-quality, local capture without streaming the raw feed.
Desktop as control room
The desktop app (Mac) shows live previews from one or more phones, lets you start/pause/stop recording and add markers, and pulls recordings to your Mac when you're done. Projects, multi-camera layouts, and an optional built-in editor keep everything in one place.
Same network, no cloud
Phone and desktop talk over your local network (WebSocket + optional WebRTC for preview). No upload of raw video to the cloud; you stay in control of your media.
Optional editing
After pulling a session to the desktop, you can switch to Edit mode and work with a timeline (cuts, layout, export) without leaving the app.

- 3
Ensure phone and desktop are on the same Wi‑Fi.
