Local-first VRChat companion
WearStream connects your watch, phone, and desktop app so live BPM can flow into your local VRChat setup. The smoothest setup is scan-first: start the desktop relay, let the QR code appear automatically, scan it in the phone app, and start streaming.
Windows desktop v0.1.5
macOS desktop v0.1.5
You’ll need one desktop app and one matching phone app. Start with the desktop app, then pair your phone by QR.
Downloads
Install one desktop app on the machine running VRChat.
Direct `.exe` download
Universal zip download
Use the phone app that matches your watch path.
Currently in closed testing
Coming soon with Apple Watch support
After installing the desktop app, the QR flow is usually the fastest way to pair your phone.
Compatibility
Use one desktop app on the machine running VRChat.
Use the Android phone app with the Wear OS watch app path.
Use the iPhone app with the Apple Watch app path.
Recommended setup
Quick start
Open WearStream on the machine running VRChat and click Start Relay.
The desktop app reveals the exact local relay address for the phone to scan.
Open the phone app, scan the QR code, then tap Start Relay.
Allow heart-rate access and begin the live stream.
Manual paste still works, but QR scanning is usually the quickest and least error-prone setup path.
First Open
If Windows shows a SmartScreen warning because the app is unsigned, confirm the file came from the official WearStream download page or GitHub release, then choose More info and Run anyway.
If macOS says the app cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified, unzip it, then Control-click or right-click the app and choose Open.
Open System Settings -> Privacy & Security and use Open Anyway for WearStream, then launch it again.
How it works
The original WearStream path reads heart-rate data from a Wear OS watch, relays it through the Android phone app, and forwards it to the local desktop listener.
WearStream also includes native Apple app targets for WatchConnectivity relay plus a local WebSocket handoff from iPhone to the same desktop listener contract.
The desktop side receives local telemetry and forwards it into your VRChat output pipeline, with public downloads available for Windows and macOS.
Help
When the desktop relay starts, it shows a QR code for the local relay URL such as ws://192.168.x.x:6124/ws. Scan that in the phone app when you can. VRChat does not use this URL.
WearStream starts with chatbox, avatar OSC, and audio trigger enabled by default. For the normal same-PC setup, leave the desktop app on 127.0.0.1:9000.
Use Test listener in the desktop app, make sure the phone and desktop are on the same Wi-Fi network, and confirm the watch still has heart-rate access plus any required background permission.

Why WearStream
The core relay flow is designed around your own watch, phone, desktop, and local network.
The mobile apps are built without ad tech or analytics SDK integrations.
WearStream is a companion relay utility for live BPM display and VRChat workflows, not a diagnostic or treatment tool.
