# Ogh: Local-First Android Live Streaming App Overview

> Ogh is a local-first Android live-streaming app that sends your video directly to your destinations — no account, relay, ads, or watermarks.

Ogh is a local-first Android app that captures your screen or camera, mixes in your chosen audio, and streams directly to the destinations you configure — no Ogh account, no media relay, no ads, no analytics, and no watermarks. Everything happens on your device, and your stream keys and OAuth tokens never leave it unencrypted.

## What is Ogh?

Ogh is a single-purpose broadcasting tool for Android. You pick a source (screen, back camera, or front camera), choose a destination (YouTube, Twitch, or any RTMP/RTMPS server), set your quality, and go live. There is no sign-up, no cloud dashboard, and no intermediary server — your encoded video travels from your Android device straight to your streaming endpoint.

The app is designed to stay out of your way. A fresh install drops you straight into Settings so you can connect a destination immediately. Once at least one destination is configured, the Preview screen unlocks and you are one tap away from going live.

## About the Name

**Ogh** comes from the Sanskrit word *ogha* (ओघ), meaning a stream, current, torrent, or continuous flow. It is pronounced approximately **"ohg"** — a fitting name for an app built around the idea of sending a continuous stream of video directly from your hands to your audience.

## Privacy and Local-First Design

<Note>
  Ogh operates no account server, media relay, analytics service, advertising service, or telemetry endpoint. Your stream goes directly from your Android device to the destinations you enable. Stream keys and OAuth tokens are encrypted with AES-256-GCM via Android Keystore and are never uploaded or backed up to the cloud. Uninstalling the app or clearing app data removes all local records.
