Redcue — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 9 September 2026 · Applies to Redcue for iOS and iPadOS.

Redcue does not collect, store, or transmit your personal information. There is no account, no sign-in, no analytics, and no crash-reporting service. There is no third-party SDK in the app and no advertising identifier. We — the developer, DadMadeAnApp — never receive any data from your device, and there is no server we operate. The only machine Redcue talks to is the OBS Studio instance you point it at, on your own network.

What stays on your device

Everything the app keeps is stored locally and nowhere else:

• The connections you save — a name you choose, the address and port of your OBS machine, whether the connection uses TLS, and two dates: when you saved it and when you last used it. That is the whole list.
• Your OBS WebSocket password — held in the iOS Keychain, encrypted by the system and marked as belonging to this device only, so it is not carried into a backup or onto another device.
• App preferences — theme and the app's own settings.
• Saved hotkeys — the OBS hotkeys you have pinned for quick access.
• A diagnostic log — see below.

You can see what is held and erase all of it under Settings › Data. Uninstalling the app deletes it too. No copy exists anywhere else.

The log

Redcue keeps a log of its own conversation with OBS — connects, drops, reconnects and the failures in between — so you can find out why something stopped working. An entry holds what happened, when, and the address it happened against. It never holds a password. The log is capped and prunes itself, it stays on this device, and it goes nowhere unless you export it yourself from Settings › Logs. Delete everything under Settings › Data clears it.

The network

To find OBS, Redcue looks across your local network for machines answering on the OBS WebSocket port. That search stays on your network and is not reported anywhere. Once connected, Redcue talks only to that machine, and your OBS password is sent only there, to authenticate.

The camera

Used only when you choose to scan the connection QR code that OBS Studio itself displays. Frames are read on your device to look for that code and are not stored, transmitted, or used for anything else.

Purchases

Redcue is free and every feature in it is free. Settings has an optional tip jar: three one-time purchases that unlock nothing and just say thanks. There is no subscription, no free trial, and no recurring charge of any kind. Payment is handled entirely by Apple through the App Store; we never see your payment details and receive no purchase data that identifies you.

Children

Redcue is a tool for operating streaming software. It is not directed at children and collects no personal information from anyone, including children.

Changes

If this policy changes, the updated version is published at this URL with a new date above.
