Features & Current Limits
Vendivo Desktop 1.0.0 build 41 is the current public Mac release. It turns cameras available to macOS into a managed live-selling production with show flow, clean program views, audio, preflight, recording, and OBS output.
Available now on Mac
Live Selling workspace
- A persistent show queue with one product, card, break, or lot per line
- Per-item starting views, audience labels, and private seller cues
- Start Show, item progression, highlights, tie breaks, and End Show
- A saved local show timeline separate from the public broadcast state
Camera production
- Integrated Mac cameras, USB webcams, and other compatible cameras available to macOS
- One-, two-, and three-camera landscape assignments
- One- or two-camera Whatnot portrait assignments
- Camera availability status and required program-picture tests

Current limits
- The released desktop app is for macOS 12.3 or later on Apple silicon and Intel Macs.
- Whatnot account, show, product, auction, chat, and order actions stay in Whatnot.
- Start Show does not start the public destination broadcast, and End Show does not stop it.
- OBS Virtual Camera carries no OBS audio.
- Structural production settings lock while the local show, output, recording, or setup is active.
- Camera Home and Vendivo Phone Camera (Direct) do not currently select local Mac cameras.
Forthcoming phone companions
Vendivo's iPhone and Android companions are still in store-release preparation and are not public customer downloads. Camera Home, direct phone-to-Mac camera publishing, USB/Wi-Fi phone transport, remote Director controls, phone recording, and mixed-phone lineups belong to that forthcoming workflow.
Preview requirements are separated under Android Setup and Wi-Fi Mode Requirements. They are not part of the current first-show path.
Privacy boundary
Vendivo does not require an account for the current Mac release. Camera video stays on the Mac for local-camera production; Spitfire Creative does not operate a cloud video relay that receives or stores the feed.
