◆ See it in motion

Stop reading. Just watch.

A quick walkthrough of StreamRift doing what it does best.

◆ Built for bracket weekends, raid trains & couch co-watching

Every stream on your screen. None of the noise.

Stop alt-tabbing between six tabs. StreamRift is designed for people who can't pick just one streamer.

Multiview

Five layouts. One mission: see it all.

One streamer front and center, four tiled, or a hero-plus-sidecar for a main channel with three bracket pools on deck. Drag to reorder, swap in a click, resize with a handle - like a real production desk.

  • Independent audio per pane. Mute three, listen to one, or keep them all on if you like chaos.
  • Hot-swap audio with 1-4. Tap a number, your ear jumps to that pane. Stream 1 hits an ad? Hit 2 and keep listening.
  • Resizable panels. Not fixed grids - drag dividers to give the main stream the room it deserves.

Grid Pop-out

Punt the whole grid onto monitor two.

One click sends your entire multi-stream view to its own window. Always-on-top, frameless, sized however you like. Keep the chat on your main screen; let the action live on the side monitor.

  • Always-on-top toggle. Keep the grid visible while you work, game, or doomscroll.
  • Independent window state. Resize, reposition, fullscreen the pop-out without touching your main app.
  • Pop back in instantly. Done monitoring? One click and the streams rejoin the main window right where they were.

Local Recording

Catch every “wait, did that just happen?” moment.

Hit Record and StreamRift saves the HLS stream directly to your disk - full quality, no re-encode, no upload. Grab a 20-second clip of a clutch or keep rolling for an hour-long arc. It's your file, on your machine, forever.

  • Direct-to-disk. .ts segments stitched into a clean .mp4 - source quality, no cloud.
  • Record any pane. Independent recording per stream - capture two clips from two streamers simultaneously.
  • Yours to keep. No 7-day VOD timer, no expiring highlights. The file sits in your folder until you delete it.

Commercial-break insurance

One stream on a break? Three still live.

Twitch commercial breaks still happen - nobody's getting around that (Kick panes play ad-free). But when a Twitch pane goes to break, you've got three other streams already running. Swap audio with a keystroke and you don't miss a beat. Multi-stream is the ad break cure.

  • Native HLS playback.We don't embed Twitch's web player - we play the raw stream, no web-embed overhead.
  • Per-stream quality. 1080p60 on the main, 480p on three side-channels. Your bandwidth, your rules.
  • Hotswap audio.One pane goes to break, tap the next number, keep listening. The game doesn't pause for ads.

Kick is live, a first-class platform.Live · Beta

Kick streams sit in the same grid, with the same chat, moderation, and recording parity we built for Twitch - plus ad-free playback. Sign in with Kick, Twitch, or both and mix channels from either in one view.

◆ FAQ

Answers to the six questions you're about to ask.

Will this get me banned?
StreamRift uses standard Twitch and Kick OAuth and only reads the same streams those platforms serve anyone with a browser. We don't modify, rehost, or clip without consent - it's a better player, not a workaround.
How many streams can I actually watch at once?
Four. We cap it there because past four the grid gets cramped, your GPU starts sweating, and honestly - you can't really pay attention to more than four streamers. Science.
What actions sync to Twitch or Kick and what don't?
Live actions go to each platform through its official API: sending chat messages, mod actions (timeouts, bans, chat-mode changes), and - on Twitch - whispers. Follows and unfollows do not sync back to either platform (Twitch closed that API to apps in 2023, and Kick has no public follow API), so StreamRift keeps its own follow list bound to your StreamRift account. Everything else - grid layout, keybinds, theme, watch history, pinned channels, chat filters, recording settings - stays local.
Can I subscribe or spend bits from inside the app?
Not yet. StreamRift handles watching, chat, follows, and mod tools - for subs, gift subs, and bits you'll still need to hop over to twitch.tv or kick.com. We're not trying to be a wallet, just a better player.
Do channels I'm subbed to still show the ad placeholder?
StreamRift plays each platform's stream as-is - we don't inject ads, and we don't try to strip them either. On Twitch, ad behavior follows your account, so subbed channels behave the same way they do on twitch.tv. Kick streams play ad-free.
Do my settings carry from computer to computer - and from Mac to Windows?
Yes. Your preferences and custom follows sync through your StreamRift account, so signing in on a new machine pulls them down. Mac and Windows builds share the same data format, so jumping between platforms works the same as jumping between two Macs.

Four streams.
One keyboard.Let's go.

Takes about 30 seconds to install. Sign in with Twitch or Kick in 10 more. Then go find something to watch together.
