TIKTORY is now CastMonkey. The overlay and automation tool you know from your TikTok Live streams has a new name, a new logo and a new home at castmonkey.com. The product, the team behind it and your account stay exactly the same.
If you searched for TIKTORY and ended up here, you're in the right place. This article explains why we renamed TIKTORY, what the name CastMonkey stands for, what changes for you and what doesn't. If you're new, you'll also find a quick tour of what CastMonkey does.

Why we renamed TIKTORY
Renaming a product that streamers rely on every day isn't something we did on a whim. We picked the name TIKTORY when the product was a small set of overlays for TikTok Live. Since then it has grown into a complete automation platform, and the old name no longer fit. Three reasons tipped the scales.
A name that is clearly our own
TIKTORY borrowed from the name of the platform we build for. That made it easy to guess what the product was about, but it also suggested a connection to TikTok that never existed. CastMonkey is an independent tool that is not affiliated with TikTok or ByteDance, and our name should make that clear instead of leaving people guessing.
The product outgrew the name
Today the product does far more than show a gift alert. You build automations in a visual flow editor, let viewers play live games and take over your Minecraft world with gifts and comments, control Spotify, switch OBS scenes and run your setup from the Windows desktop app or the mobile app. Agencies use it to manage entire creator rosters. We wanted a name with room for all of that and for whatever comes next.
Easy to say, easy to remember
Our streamers go live in English, German, Spanish, Vietnamese, Turkish and many other languages. CastMonkey is short, works in all of them and is easy to spell when you recommend it to another creator, whether you mention it on stream or drop it in a Discord message.
What the name CastMonkey stands for
Cast stands for broadcasting: going live, putting on a show and bringing an audience together in real time. It's what every streamer does, and it's what our product is built around.
Monkey stands for the helper that never gets tired. While you talk to your viewers, CastMonkey handles the busywork in the background. It reacts to every gift, counts likes towards your goals, keeps the subathon timer running, reads chat messages aloud and switches scenes at the right moment. Playful, a little cheeky and always busy, just like a good TikTok Live.
Put together, CastMonkey is your sidekick for live streaming: you host the show, the monkey takes care of the rest.
What stays the same
The short answer: everything that matters for your streams.
- Your account and login. You sign in exactly as before. There's no new account to create.
- Your setup. Profiles, overlays, flows, audio alerts, text-to-speech settings, viewer points and levels, and your uploaded media are all still there.
- Your subscription. Your plan, your price and your billing cycle don't change because of the rename.
- Your integrations. TikTok LIVE Studio, OBS, Spotify, Stream Deck, Voicemod, StreamerBot, Minecraft and our games remain available.
- The team. CastMonkey is developed by the same people at sync signal GmbH who built TIKTORY, and you'll talk to the same support team.
What changes
The rename is mostly visible on the surface:
- Name and logo. You'll see CastMonkey and our new logo on the website and throughout the product.
- New addresses. The website is now at castmonkey.com, the web app at app.castmonkey.com and the help center at help.castmonkey.com.
- New contact details. You reach our support team at support@castmonkey.com and our community at discord.gg/castmonkey.
- Old links forward. Links to tiktory.com forward to castmonkey.com, so old bookmarks, videos and posts that mention TIKTORY still lead to the right place.
Do I need to do anything?
No. Your next stream will work just like your last one. If you'd like to tidy up, here are a few optional steps:
- Update your bookmarks to app.castmonkey.com.
- Add support@castmonkey.com to your contacts so emails from us don't end up in your spam folder.
- If you mention TIKTORY in your TikTok bio, stream panels or tutorials, switch to CastMonkey whenever it suits you.
- Running an agency? Let your creators know about the new name so nobody is surprised by the new logo.
New here? What CastMonkey does
CastMonkey turns everything that happens in your TikTok Live into something your viewers can see and hear. Gifts, likes, follows, subscriptions and chat messages become events that trigger overlays, sounds, text-to-speech and actions in other apps, in real time and without you lifting a finger mid-stream.
Overlays for TikTok LIVE Studio and OBS
Choose from more than 30 overlay types, including gift alerts, like and follower goals, subathon timers, top gifter leaderboards, chat boxes, a wheel of fortune, like fountains and gift fireworks. Every overlay works in portrait mode for TikTok LIVE Studio and in landscape mode for OBS. You add it to your stream as a browser source.
Flows: automation without code
Flows connect an event to one or more actions in a visual editor. A Rose can play a sound, a Lion can start a video and switch your OBS scene, and a chat command can spin the wheel. With more than 50 actions plus conditions, delays and cooldowns, you build interactions that would otherwise need a moderator or custom code.
Audio alerts and text-to-speech
Play sounds for specific gifts, follows and subscriptions, and have chat messages read aloud in a wide range of voices and languages. Minimum levels, word filters and per-viewer voices keep text-to-speech fun instead of chaotic.
Games, Minecraft and more integrations
Let your viewers play along: our live games turn chat into players, the Minecraft integration hands control of your world to your audience, and integrations with Spotify, Stream Deck, Voicemod and StreamerBot connect CastMonkey to the rest of your setup.
