Why Generate Oauth? => This way the app won't need to store your password.

Why Streamlink? => Streamlink handles video pipe (streaming video from twitch's server to your mac) flawlessly.

How does it work?

  1. Uses Twitch Helix api to get list of followed channels
  2. Sees if any channels are online
  3. If they are and if you choose to watch it will stream via streamlink.
