A PeerTube studio for iPhone, iPad and Mac
Run your PeerTube channel from anywhere.
BufferedTV Studio puts everything a PeerTube creator does in one app. Upload from your phone and have it write the subtitles, answer comments, and see how each video is doing, on whichever instance your channel lives.
iPhone, iPad and Mac
Made for each screen you work on.
BufferedTV Studio is one app for iPhone, iPad and Mac. Your videos, comments and figures all live on your instance, so whichever you pick up, it’s all there.
Coming soon
iPad
A sidebar to get around, and room for the detail. Content becomes a table you can sort by date, views, comments or likes, and analytics spread out across the screen.
Coming soon
Mac
A Mac app with proper menus and shortcuts: ⌘U to upload, ⇧⌘L to go live, and ⌘1 to ⌘0 to move between sections. Drag videos in from the Finder.
Coming soon
Features
Everything you’d otherwise need the website for.
Subtitles, written on your device
As a video uploads, Studio can listen to it on the iPhone, iPad or Mac itself, using Apple’s speech recognition, and add the subtitles to the video as soon as it’s up. Do the same for any video you’ve already published.
Want them in other languages too? Pick as many as you like. Each is translated on the device, line by line, so every line stays in time with the video. The sound and the words go nowhere but your instance.
See how every video is doing
Views, viewers, watch time, average watch and peak viewers for each video, over the last 7, 28 or 90 days or since it went up. The retention curve shows where people stop watching, and the audience breaks down by country, region, device, system and the browser or app they used.
Each channel gets the same, or add them all together: views over 30 days, 90 days, a year or its lifetime, followers, and your top videos.
Every comment in one place
Comments on all your videos, newest first, each with the video it’s on. Reply, delete, or block someone, from the comment itself.
Set a video to hold its comments until you approve them, or let lists of watched words and PeerTube’s own automatic tags hold anything that matches. Held comments wait in their own tab, seen only by whoever wrote them.
Your whole library, properly edited
Find any video with search and filters, then change its title, description, tags, thumbnail, category, licence and language. Make it public, unlisted, private or password protected, or choose the moment it goes public.
Add chapters and subtitle files, and where your instance allows it, replace the video file, or have the instance trim it, cut sections out, add an intro and outro or put a watermark on it.
Uploads that finish
From Photos or Files, several at once. An upload picks up where it stopped after a lost connection or a restart, and keeps going in the background on iPhone and iPad.
Live streams
Set up a one-off or permanent stream, with its latency and a schedule your followers can see, then copy the server address and stream key into your streaming app.
Channels and collaborators
Create channels, give each its own name, avatar, banner and description, and invite other people on your instance to help run them.
Playlists
Make playlists, add videos from your library and put them in order.
Imports
Bring in a video from a web address or a magnet link, or sync a channel from another site so its new videos keep arriving.
Several accounts
Sign in to as many accounts as you have, on one instance or several, with a two-factor code if you use one, and switch between them. An upload always goes to the account it started on.
Notifications
New comments, followers and everything else your instance tells you about, with the same choices over what it sends as on its website.
No tracking
No analytics, adverts or third-party code, and no BufferedTV server for your data to go to. Studio talks to your instance. Read the privacy policy.
Storage at a glance
How much of your instance’s space you’ve used, today and in all, and what’s still processing or needs a look, right on the dashboard.

Questions
Good to know.
Which instances does it work with?
Any PeerTube instance where you have an account. Type its address and Studio checks it’s a PeerTube server before you sign in. Some tools are up to each instance, such as live streams, imports and its own editing tools; Settings ▸ Instance shows which ones yours has switched on.
Where are my subtitles written?
On your iPhone, iPad or Mac, with Apple’s on-device speech recognition and translation. The first time you use a language, the device downloads what it needs for it from Apple, once. After that, a video’s sound and its subtitles go nowhere but your instance. If a device can’t transcribe speech, Studio doesn’t offer to, and if your instance writes subtitles itself, you can ask it to instead.
Can I look after more than one channel?
Yes. An account can have several channels, and Studio shows them one at a time or all together. Sign in to more accounts, on the same instance or others, and switch between them from the account menu.
Is this the same app as BufferedTV?
No. BufferedTV is for watching PeerTube on Apple TV, iPhone and iPad. BufferedTV Studio is for the people who make the videos. The two share a look and some of their code, and each works without the other.
What do I need to run it?
An iPhone or iPad with iOS 27 or iPadOS 27 or later, or a Mac with macOS 27 or later, and an account on a PeerTube instance.
Is BufferedTV Studio made by PeerTube?
No. It’s an independent app, built by Ric Harvey and supported by SquareCows. PeerTube itself is made by Framasoft, a French non-profit.
Help and support
Stuck, or found a problem?
Email what happened, which device you were on and which instance you use, and we’ll take a look. Ideas for what Studio should do next are welcome too.
Coming soon
Your channel, in your pocket and on your desk.
BufferedTV Studio is being tested now. It will be on the App Store for iPhone and iPad, and on the Mac App Store, as soon as it’s ready.
