Your Mac is the switcher.
A broadcast switcher that runs native on Apple silicon — switch cameras, add graphics, then stream and record at the same time, or drop a produced feed straight into Zoom, Teams and Meet. No capture cards, no OBS, no Windows PC.
You already own a Mac that runs Herald.
From the $599 MacBook Neo to a Mac Studio — the same native app with the same full feature set. Not a stripped-down "lite" edition for the smaller Macs. Every feature, every Mac.

The chip sets the ceiling, not the feature list. Pro, Max and Ultra add hardware ProRes and more headroom — more cameras and more simultaneous ISO records at once — but every feature above runs on every Apple silicon Mac, right down to the entry, fanless MacBook Neo.
* The MacBook Neo is Apple's first A-series Mac — the A18 Pro, from the iPhone/iPad line — where every other row is M-series. Both are Apple silicon; the Neo simply runs the full app at entry-level headroom.
NDI cameras arrive over the network — no capture cards, no switcher hardware. USB webcams plug straight in; bring HDMI in over a simple UVC adapter.
Preview and Program buses, cut, dissolve, wipe, push, dip to black. If you've used an ATEM, your hands already know it.
Herald appears as a camera in Zoom, Teams and Meet — so your call gets multi-cam switching, blur, overlays and SuperSource those apps can't do on their own.
Go live over RTMPS while the same Mac records a clean master — on Apple's own media engines. PowerPoint and slides drop straight in — plus a stage display (current slide, next slide and a service clock) for your presenter.
Get early access
Herald is in early access. Join the list to be first to try it, with launch pricing for churches and studios.
Built on Apple silicon, not a web wrapper. Metal compositing and VideoToolbox hardware encoders mean one quiet Mac carries the whole production — the fans barely spin up.
Designed from the tech booth. Simple enough for a volunteer to run a Sunday service; deep enough to run a studio.
