## What it is
A browser-based web app for remotely controlling OBS Studio via the obs-websocket plugin. It lets users switch scenes, start/stop streaming and recording, and manage Studio Mode, virtual camera, and replay buffer from any modern desktop or mobile browser.

## Use cases
- control obs remotely from phone
- switch obs scenes from browser
- start and stop obs recording remotely
- remote control obs over local network
- use obs studio mode from mobile
- control obs stream without installing software

## When to choose
- you need to control OBS from a phone, tablet, or second computer without installing anything
- you want scene switching, streaming, and recording controls in a browser
- you want a Docker-deployable remote control for OBS on your local network

## When to avoid
- you need full OBS functionality like editing sources or filters remotely
- you run OBS older than v27 without the obs-websocket plugin
- you need a native desktop remote control app rather than a web interface
