PHOSPHOR STAGE
Phosphor Stage renders audio-reactive visuals on Apple TV, either from a Mac running Phosphor on the same network or from music files you put on the device yourself. This policy explains what data the app handles.
DATA WE COLLECT
None. Phosphor Stage does not collect, transmit, store, or share any personal information. The app has no user accounts, no analytics, no crash reporting, and no telemetry of any kind.
NETWORK USAGE
Phosphor Stage makes no connections to the internet. Every network feature is confined to your local network:
- Phosphor Link — the app advertises itself over Bonjour so Phosphor on your Mac can find it, and receives a small stream describing what that Mac is hearing. This is analysis data only, about a kilobyte per frame. No audio is sent, and nothing is sent back to the Mac.
- The upload page — when you add music, the app runs a small web server on your Apple TV so a browser on the same Wi-Fi can send it files. It is reachable only from your local network, and only while the library screen is open.
The app shows a QR code linking to this site for the Mac edition. It does not fetch that page or contact the site; following the link is your choice, in your own browser.
YOUR MUSIC
Files you upload stay in the app's storage on your Apple TV. They are never uploaded anywhere, never analysed off-device, and never shared. Deleting the app deletes them. tvOS may reclaim them when the system needs storage, so keep your originals elsewhere.
ON-DEVICE STORAGE
Your chosen source, scene, effects, playback settings and the name you give the screen are stored locally on your Apple TV. Nothing leaves your device.
THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
Phosphor Stage does not use any third-party SDKs, analytics providers, or advertising libraries.
CHILDREN
Phosphor Stage is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect information from anyone.
