HUILIU LIVE / LIVE VIEWING SYSTEM
Huiliu Live brings streams from Douyin, Douyu, Huya, Bilibili, and other major platforms into one native app, so you can close that row of browser tabs.
FIELD NOTE / 01
You no longer need to remember which platform a streamer lives on. Follow, go-live, and watch all happen in one app.
Paste a live-room URL and the platform is recognized automatically. A streamer who is not live yet can still join your list.
On-device detection and system go-live notifications are free; when you step away, the cloud can keep watching.
Switching channels, quality, danmaku, and multiple windows all revolve around the stream itself, not the browser's tabs.
On iPhone and iPad, Programs offers Hongguo short dramas alongside sports. Browsing, search, playback, episode selection, speed, autoplay, resume, unlimited drama follows, iCloud sync, and current-frame poster sharing are all free. Search shows the results currently returned by Hongguo; content availability follows the platform response.
FIELD NOTE / 02
Footage, danmaku, multiple windows, and high-bitrate quality all come from the version people actually use.
SIGNAL MAP / MULTI-PLATFORM
Platform capabilities differ. Huiliu Live brings adding, status, and playback into one path.
Support can change with upstream APIs. The app's Add Streamer screen shows the current platform and capability range. If a platform you watch is missing, contact the author.
NIGHT SHIFT / CLOUD WATCH
Even when the app is not running, monitoring can continue for the streamers you have enabled alerts for. When they go live, the alert lands on your device.

Full Version · Mac / iPhone / iPadOnly streamers you enabled alerts for are monitored. Turning the service on submits those streamers' platform and room identifiers; how they are used is written in the Privacy Policy. Delivery depends on the network and the live platforms and is best-effort. Apple TV does not offer it.
ONE FOLLOW LIST / FOUR SCREENS
macOS keeps efficiency in the keyboard, windows, and menu bar; iPhone and iPad take watching and go-live alerts with you; Apple TV puts the streams back on the big screen. The three sides sync the follow list and preferences through the same Apple Account and iCloud.

Plans. The annual and monthly plans are auto-renewable subscriptions: they renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends, and you can manage or cancel them in Apple’s subscription settings. The lifetime option is a non-consumable in-app purchase: pay once; it does not auto-renew. Price, taxes, and payment methods are shown by the App Store.
Free trial. The annual plan includes a one-week free trial, offered only to users Apple determines are eligible. When the trial ends, it renews at the price shown before you confirm unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends.
Restore Purchases asks StoreKit for valid App Store purchases owned by the current Apple Account.
Family Sharing. Family Sharing availability depends on the App Store product page and Apple’s sharing settings. Full Version access for a family member requires a valid shared entitlement from Apple.
Refunds are handled by Apple. Eligibility and outcomes vary by country or region and remain subject to applicable consumer law.
Platform differences. This table reflects the macOS feature set; rows that name a platform are available only there. Features on iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV follow what each client displays.

The streams you want, watched for you in the cloud. Even when the app is not running, monitoring can continue for the streamers you have enabled alerts for. On-device detection and system go-live notifications are available in the Free Version; the purchase only unlocks this hosted, continuous cloud monitoring. You turn it on yourself on Mac, iPhone, or iPad; Apple TV does not offer it. Turning it on submits the selected streamers' platform and room identifiers for cloud monitoring. The service depends on the network and the live platforms, and delivery is best-effort.
The Full Version is purchased in the app through the App Store and comes in three options: annual, lifetime, and monthly. The annual and monthly plans are auto-renewable subscriptions; the lifetime option is a non-consumable in-app purchase: pay once; it does not auto-renew. All three provide the same Full Version features within each client’s supported feature set, and the price is the local price shown by the App Store at purchase time. The annual plan includes a one-week free trial, offered only to users Apple determines are eligible. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends; manage or cancel them in Apple’s subscription settings. After a lifetime purchase, you can permanently use the Full Version features delivered by later versions of the same app.
Choose “Restore Purchases” on the purchase page or in Settings, and the app re-reads the valid App Store purchase records owned by the current Apple Account through StoreKit. If you purchased through another channel earlier, please email the author.
Family Sharing availability depends on the App Store product page and Apple’s sharing settings. Full Version access for a family member requires a valid shared entitlement from Apple.
All purchases are completed through Apple's App Store. Some purchases may be eligible for a refund; sign in to reportaproblem.apple.com to submit a request to Apple.

The minimum requirements are macOS 15.0+, iOS/iPadOS 18.0+, and tvOS 18.0+. Actual availability follows the download page.
