Desktop utility

CouchMode is a Windows desktop utility designed to help you prepare, manage, and restore couch gaming sessions from your PC. Free use does not require an account.

Local app data

CouchMode may store local app settings and logs on your device so the app can remember preferences, diagnose issues, and restore session state.

Gameplay privacy

CouchMode does not collect gameplay data or track what games you play.

No gameplay tracking. No cloud sync. Pro license validation only when needed.

Diagnostics and support

If you contact support or export a diagnostic bundle, it may include app logs, Windows version, CouchMode version, launch mode, controller count or state, display topology, and error or status messages.

If you email support, your email address and message contents may be used to respond to your request.

Patreon membership validation

If you connect a Patreon membership to CouchMode, license validation may process your Patreon account identifier, Patreon email address if provided by Patreon, membership tier, membership status, activation token, installation or device identifier, app version, activation timestamp, and entitlement status.

CouchMode uses this information only to verify Pro access, enforce device limits, troubleshoot activation issues, and maintain account and security records.

Website analytics

This website uses Cloudflare Web Analytics and a Google tag through Google Tag Manager to understand aggregate traffic, such as page views and referrers. These are used for website measurement only and are separate from the CouchMode desktop app, which does not track gameplay.

Payments and licenses

CouchMode does not store payment card details. Patreon billing is handled by Patreon.

CouchMode may contact license.couchmode.app only when needed to validate Pro access, refresh entitlement status, or deactivate devices.
