Embr — Live Streams

Embr is a fast, native Twitch client built for iPhone — not a wrapped web view. Streams open in a real AVPlayer with picture-in-picture, background audio, and instant quality switching. Chat is rendered natively so it stays smooth even in the busiest channels. No bloat, no clutter, just watch and chat.

Browse without an account. Sign in with Twitch only when you want to follow channels and join the conversation.

WATCH • Native AVPlayer video — live streams, VODs, and clips • Picture-in-picture and background audio — keep watching while you use other apps • Quality selection, latency display, and landscape fullscreen • Double-tap to seek, and adjustable playback speed on VODs

BROWSE & DISCOVER • Live channels and top categories at a glance • Search channels and categories instantly • A Following tab that surfaces who's live (when signed in) • Rich channel pages with everything you need to dive in

REAL-TIME CHAT • Live chat over Twitch EventSub — fast and reliable • Animated emotes from Twitch, 7TV, BetterTTV, and FrankerFaceZ, all merged together • Badges, cheermotes, mentions, and threaded replies • Emote autocomplete and recent-message backfill so you're never lost • Search the chat, report or block messages, and hide users you'd rather not see • Moderator tools — delete, timeout, and ban — when you're a mod in the channel

MADE FOR iPhone • Light and dark themes, with chat readability and text-scale controls • Haptics, third-party emote toggles, and a blocked-users list • Built natively in UIKit for speed and a small footprint • Full guest browsing — an account is optional

Embr is open source.
