psntui 0.1.7

PSN Trophy Tracker TUI — sync and browse your PlayStation trophies from the terminal

psnTUI

A terminal UI for browsing and syncing your PlayStation trophies — built for people who live in the terminal and want their trophy data without opening a browser or a bloated companion app.

Features

• Sync trophies from PSN — incremental, only re-fetches games that changed since the last sync
• Game library — progress, trophy counts (platinum/gold/silver/bronze), last activity
• Trophy detail — per-game list with rarity, earn rate, earned date
• Weekly activity heatmap — 11-week view, click any day to see what you earned
• Month comparison — current month vs previous month
• Rarity distribution — ultra rare / very rare / rare / common breakdown
• Play time tracking — total, today, this week, this month, per game (PS4/PS5 only)
• In-app search — jump to any game in your library without scrolling
• Headless sync — scheduled background sync via systemd (Linux) or Task Scheduler (Windows)
• Keyboard-first, no mouse required

Installation

Recommended — works the same on Linux, macOS, and Windows:

pipx install psntui

pipx installs the app in its own isolated environment and puts it on your PATH, so you don't need to manage a virtualenv yourself.

Alternatively, with uv:

uv tool install psntui

Or plain pip, if you already manage your own virtual environment:

pip install psntui

From source:

git clone https://github.com/TripShuti/psnTUI
cd psnTUI
pipx install .

Usage

First run

psntui

On first launch you'll land on the auth screen. Paste your NPSSO token and click Validate & Save (or press Skip to browse the empty UI first).

Getting your NPSSO token

1. Log in at https://ca.account.sony.com
2. Visit https://ca.account.sony.com/api/v1/ssocookie
3. Copy the 64-character value of npsso from the returned JSON

This token grants access to your PSN account data — treat it like a password. psnTUI stores it locally with owner-only file permissions and never sends it anywhere except Sony's own API.

Headless sync — Linux (systemd)

Requires cloning the repository — these files aren't bundled in the PyPI package.

git clone https://github.com/TripShuti/psnTUI
cd psnTUI
bash systemd/install.sh

Installs a user timer that syncs every 4 hours on a fixed schedule (00:00, 04:00, 08:00, 12:00, 16:00, 20:00). Survives sleep/suspend — if a scheduled sync is missed while the system was asleep, it runs once immediately on wake, instead of skipping it entirely.

Check it:

systemctl --user status psntui-sync.timer
journalctl --user -u psntui-sync.service -n 20

Headless sync — Windows (Task Scheduler)

# Run once
psntui --sync

# Create a recurring task, every 4 hours
$action = New-ScheduledTaskAction -Execute "psntui" -Argument "--sync"
$trigger = New-ScheduledTaskTrigger -RepetitionInterval (New-TimeSpan -Hours 4) -AtStartup
Register-ScheduledTask -TaskName "psnTUI Sync" -Action $action -Trigger $trigger -RunLevel Highest

Note: by default this won't wake a sleeping laptop, so syncs are skipped while it's asleep rather than caught up afterward. Add -WakeToRun to the trigger settings if you want it to wake the machine for scheduled syncs, or just run psntui --sync manually after waking.

Manual trigger (any platform)

psntui --sync

Data storage

OS	Location
Linux	~/.config/psntui/
macOS	~/Library/Application Support/psntui/
Windows	%APPDATA%\psntui\

SQLite database with WAL mode. Your NPSSO token lives in config.json in the same directory, with 0600 permissions on Linux/macOS.

Requirements

• Python ≥ 3.11
• A terminal with Unicode and TrueColor support (Windows Terminal, any modern Linux/macOS terminal — legacy cmd.exe is not recommended)
• A PlayStation Network account with games on PS4/PS5
• An NPSSO token (see above)

Development

git clone https://github.com/TripShuti/psnTUI
cd psnTUI
python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .
