Content creators can now control their studio or on-set lights remotely using a new virtual gaffer. The new amaran app provides specialized controls for creators on platforms such as YouTube, TikTok, gaming networks, and live video streams.
The app allows real-time adjustments, applying effects, and more. It is compatible with a range of operating systems, including iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, and HarmonyOS.

Ted Sim, Co-Founder of Amaran, stated, “The amaran app is the first lighting app designed specifically for creators. It brings all the power of the popular Sidus Link from Hollywood and makes it user-friendly for everyone.
” Sim went on to say that though the new desktop app and Stream Deck compatibility, home studio creators can enjoy granular, high-quality lighting control that seamlessly integrates with their existing setup and tools.
The amaran app offers the following features:
1. Real-time control of any creative environment: Toggle lights on and off, adjust brightness, change color temperature, or quickly identify the status of each light — see what color they’re set to or if they’re displaying an effect — all straight from the device menu.
2. Software-agnostic integration: Effortlessly interact with and fine-tune all your lights, whether using iOS, Android, HarmonyOS, Mac, or Windows. The amaran app meets creatives where they are, with a control ecosystem that adapts to the creative process.

3. Friendlier controls powered by the trusted Sidus Mesh ecosystem: The amaran app utilizes the same technology used in Sidus Link, the world’s most used lighting control app, in an interface designed for content creators.
Users can seamlessly port over all existing lights from Sidus Link into the new amaran app and feel right at home with its familiar stability. With a simplified interface that’s easier to navigate, the same lighting setup is now more efficient than ever.
4. Desktop and Stream Deck controls transform the workspace: The amaran app brings powerful lighting control to desktop setups, allowing creators to tailor controls to their unique workflow and workspace without disrupting their existing creative flow.
Gamers and streamers who are constantly streaming content can enhance the appearance and add visual effects to their streams thanks to amaran app’s integration with Stream Deck.
5. Save looks, and create customizable shortcuts: Creators can easily save a look created in the amaran app and recall it instantly, and even modify it further in future set-ups. Enabling even more efficiency, users can create customizable shortcuts for quick adjustments, ensuring workflows remain smooth and creativity uninterrupted.
