How it works
From your pocket
to the session.

one more input in the studio.

- 02
Pick it
On your iPhone, open AirPlay and choose oppsCord like any other speaker on the network.
- 03
Play
Hit play on the phone. The plugin shows the phone as connected, the meter moves, and the sound comes out of the track.
- 04
Mute

Features

in the studio.
On the track

Windows
- Install Bonjour Print Services from Apple (free). The phone finds oppsCord through it.

C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3. - Open your DAW, rescan plug-ins, put oppsCord on a stereo track.

A few things
worth knowing.
Is oppsCord really free?+
Yes. No licence key and no account.
Do I need an app on my phone?+
No. oppsCord uses AirPlay, which is already on your iPhone.
Does it work on Windows?+
Yes, as a VST3 for Windows 10 and 11. It needs Apple’s free Bonjour so the phone can find it. A standalone app for Windows will follow.
The phone does not see oppsCord. What now?+
Check that phone and computer are on the same Wi‑Fi and that the plugin is loaded. On Windows, check that Bonjour is installed and that your DAW is allowed in Windows Defender Firewall (Allow an app through firewall, Private and Public). On a Mac, check System Settings, Privacy & Security, Local Network for your DAW.
Windows says a module is blocked from the Local Security Authority.+
That message comes from Bonjour (mdnsNSP.dll) on Windows 11, not from oppsCord. It is harmless and oppsCord works.
Which DAWs?+
Any host that loads AU or VST3: Logic, Ableton Live, FL Studio, Cubase, Studio One, Reaper and more. Put it on a stereo track. Pro Tools (AAX) is coming soon. On Mac there is also a standalone app.
