Getting set up

What do I need?
A PS5 running Gran Turismo 7, and an iPhone on the same home network as the PS5. Open the app and drive. No capture card, no PC, no wheel required, no account to create, nothing installed on the console. Ordinary home Wi-Fi is all it needs.
Wheel or controller?
Either. The app reads what the car did — speed, brake, throttle, gear — not what device you did it with. Plenty of very fast GT7 drivers are on controller; the telemetry doesn't care.
The app is stuck on "SCANNING…". What's wrong?
Three usual suspects. Your phone and PS5 must be on the same network — not a guest network, which routers deliberately wall off. GT7 must be in an active session, not sitting in a menu. And if the app can't find the console on its own, set your PS5's IP address once in the app's settings. Still stuck? Look for "AP isolation" or "client isolation" in your router settings — some routers ship with it on, and it stops devices on your own network from seeing each other. Nothing needs to be opened to the internet; the telemetry never leaves your home network. If the app says "PS5 IN REST MODE", the console is asleep — wake it and the app connects on its own.
Is this allowed? Will it affect my account?
GhostChaser doesn't touch the game. Telemetry output is a built-in GT7 feature you turn on in the game's own settings — the same feed that powers motion rigs and dashboard apps. The app reads that feed on your local network; nothing is installed on the console and nothing in the game is modified.

The coaching

What do the tones actually tell me?
Pedal pressure, as pitch. A tone follows the reference lap's brake: silent off the pedal, rising as the pressure builds. Where a faster lap brakes, and how hard, is something you hear rather than read. Each ear is assignable, and the default is the reference's brake in one ear with yours in the other, so the correction is the mismatch between your ears. Throttle works the same way. Beeps count you into the braking zones — roughly two seconds out and one second out, timed at the speed you're carrying.
How are reference laps chosen?
Curated per track, per week, matched to the Daily Race rotation — a fast lap in a car eligible for that race, not a generic ideal. Each reference is a real driven lap with the driver named, and where a race allows several cars, references are curated per car. This week's are on the front page with the lap time, so the lap can speak for itself.
What if there's no reference lap for a track?
Reference laps are published weekly for the three Daily Races — that's the rotation the app is built around. On a track without one the app stays quiet: no tones, no comparison. Coaching against a made-up baseline would be worse than none.
Won't the audio distract me mid-corner?
It's built not to. Tones tracking pedal pressure, beeps into the braking zones, and no commentary, because there isn't any to give. Nothing speaks. After a session or two you stop hearing the tone as sound and start hearing it as the brake point. There are twenty presets with a preview sweep, so you can pick one you can stand for an hour.
Does it work in every mode?
Anywhere GT7 broadcasts telemetry from an active session: qualifying, races, practice, time trials. The coaching needs this week's reference laps, so it's built around the three Daily Races — on those tracks you get the full instrument set.

Plans and billing

What's actually free?
The reference half, forever: the reference lap's brake and throttle tones, the warning beeps, the reference trace corner by corner with your position cursor riding it, the reference's speeds and gears, and every week's curated laps. No account, no card. The subscription adds the live half: your own traces and tones against the reference's, the running lap delta, your corner speeds, the rolling scope view. Everything is on for your first 30 days, so you drive with all of it before deciding. Pricing →
How do I cancel?
The subscription is handled entirely by the App Store — cancel any time from your Apple ID settings, and it simply runs to the end of the period you paid for. The free half keeps working exactly as before; it was free before you subscribed and stays free after.
Why iPhone-only? Where's Android?
GhostChaser is an iPhone app today. Android is being considered, but there's nothing to install yet and no date — you deserve that straight rather than a "coming soon" that isn't.

Privacy and trust

What happens to my data?
It stays home. The app has no accounts and no sign-in; your telemetry comes from your PS5 over your own network, is drawn and sounded in the moment, and is never sent anywhere. The only things the app fetches are the week's reference laps and track maps. No ads, no trackers, no analytics, no selling data — nothing is collected at all. Full details: Privacy Policy .
