Ethereal is designed with privacy first. Local-only streaming, no cloud servers, minimal data collection.
All desktop streaming happens directly between your PC/Mac and your Quest over your local network. No data passes through Ethereal's servers.
No screen content is ever uploaded, stored, or processed in the cloud. Your workflow stays on your network — always.
Ethereal Host for Windows is digitally signed by ETHEREAL, INC with a DigiCert EV code signing certificate. This ensures:
We collect only what's needed to improve the product:
No personal data is sold. See our full privacy policy for complete details.
You don't need to create an Ethereal account to use the host app. Just download, install, and connect.
The Quest app uses your Meta account (required by the Quest platform) — but Ethereal itself doesn't require a separate login.
