Local play and discovery

PS Remoter sends discovery requests on your local network and exchanges pairing, wake, video, audio and input data with your selected PlayStation. Ordinary local play does not require PSN sign-in in this app. If you enter a hostname, your operating system's resolver processes that name. Gameplay recording is off until you explicitly start recording or enable the replay buffer.

Saved on this computer

Console names and addresses, settings, input mappings, selected audio device names/identifiers and any player aliases and Account IDs you choose to remember are stored locally. Pairing keys and PSN authorization tokens use the operating system's credential store. They are not saved in the console library or settings files. PSN passwords are entered on Sony's browser page, not in PS Remoter.

PSN sign-in

Signing in or refreshing an account sends authorization information, account and device identifiers to Sony. The app uses your default browser; it does not promise a private or ephemeral browser session. Signing out removes this app's saved grant, but does not sign out of the browser, delete your Sony account or remove pairing keys. Local pairing can also use an Account ID that you supply without signing in through the app.

Internet play · Pro

The Pro internet connection path uses Sony services and NAT traversal. It can download STUN server lists from GitHub and contact listed servers or Moonlight/Google fallback servers to find your public IP and port. Those services receive network/request information; STUN requests do not contain PSN tokens or gameplay. Local-network play does not use this traversal path. Pro requires a verified license for this platform.

Game library · Pro

Game-library access needs a separate Sony authorization. Its tokens are kept in a separate credential-store item. Refreshing the library requests console, installation and recently played game information. Confirming a launch sends console/title IDs to Sony and polls the resulting command. Covers are requested from PlayStation image services without account tokens and cached only in memory. Closing, cancelling or signing out cannot recall a command already sent to Sony.

Microphone and controllers

The microphone starts muted. Enabling it during a connection sends the selected input's sound to the active console for voice use, subject to your operating system's audio access rules. Muting or disconnecting stops capture. Microphone audio is not included in this app’s recordings. The console, game or voice service handles received audio under its own rules. Controller inputs control the console; motion, vibration and advanced feedback require Pro.

Phone-assisted sign-in

The optional QR flow opens Sony sign-in on your phone. Your phone encrypts the callback with a key shared only through the QR code. The publisher’s HTTPS relay temporarily holds ciphertext and independent read/write capability hashes for at most ten minutes, and deletes a consumed or cancelled session. It does not receive the encryption key or Sony password. The relay processes your IP for connections and rate limiting without an access log. Browser sign-in remains available without this relay.

Screenshots, recording and replay

Screenshots, optional last-session thumbnails and H.264 MKV recordings stay in the local captures folder. Recording includes console audio, never microphone audio. Replay is off by default and keeps at most 30 seconds / 64 MB in memory until you explicitly save it. These images, clips and buffers are excluded from diagnostics. Disable thumbnails and delete saved captures in your file manager to remove them.

Device and network checks

GPU probes run in isolated child processes and cache driver/decoder results locally. Optional Wi-Fi checks report signal and link rates without collecting SSIDs or MAC addresses. The optional streaming-mode vote lasts only for the session and does not change roaming or firewall settings. The network checker contacts only the hostname you enter; it does not reconfigure your router.

Steam shortcuts

Only Add to Steam and your choice of an account folder authorize changes to that folder's shortcut file. A backup is kept beside it. The shortcut contains an app path, display name and local console identifier, not pairing keys, PSN tokens or the console address. Remove shortcuts in Steam and delete backups yourself. PS Remoter does not call a Steam network API for this operation.

Diagnostics and tracking

The app has no advertising, cross-app tracking or automatic diagnostic upload. Session diagnostics retain at most 256 structured events plus numeric statistics in memory. Reports exclude console addresses, account IDs, keys, tokens, PINs, audio device names and recordings. Copy places a report on the clipboard; Save writes a report in the app's diagnostics folder and displays its path. Sharing is your choice. Your operating system and services you contact may handle their own logs separately.

Purchases and updates

Windows Pro is a one-time Microsoft Store purchase. Microsoft handles payment, account ownership and refunds. The app reads Store licenses to enable Pro; it does not collect card details or issue license codes. Use Restore purchases with the Microsoft Store account that owns Pro. Store builds receive updates through Microsoft Store. macOS and iOS purchases are separate.

Delete local data and grants

Use Remove on each saved console to delete its local record and pairing key. Sign out in the PSN account window and separately in the game-library window to delete those saved grants; retry any reported deletion error. Forget saved alias removes an individual player alias. Delete exported diagnostics and Steam backups using your file manager. Removing the app alone may leave credential-store items, so remove pairings and sign out first. These actions do not erase service-side records or browser cookies.

External services

Sony, GitHub, STUN operators and other contacted services receive network/request information and handle it under their own policies. Their own privacy policies describe their retention periods and practices. External links below open only when you select them.
