First Rush has received a major update, introducing professional-grade tools previously unavailable in the app. The latest version now includes live color correction and real-time scopes, enabling creators to monitor and adjust image quality directly during capture or playback. This enhancement brings broadcast-level monitoring capabilities to a lightweight, accessible platform.

A key addition is the Companion Viewer, which streams video output to iPhone or iPad devices via peer-to-peer (P2P) connection — eliminating the need for a local router or complex network setup. This allows creators to monitor footage remotely on mobile devices with low latency, improving flexibility on set or in the field.

The update also adds clip playback over SDI, expanding compatibility with professional video hardware and enabling seamless integration into existing production workflows. These features position First Rush as a more viable option for indie filmmakers, live streamers, and content creators who need reliable monitoring and basic post-production tools without investing in expensive software.

First Rush is now available for free download on the Mac App Store, making these advanced features accessible to a broader audience. The move underscores the developer’s commitment to providing powerful, no-cost tools for creators at all levels.

With live color, scopes, real-time compositing, P2P streaming, and SDI support, First Rush bridges the gap between consumer-friendly apps and professional-grade utilities — all at zero cost.
