Take your runs with you

Mains is on iPhone now. Your Mac still runs the agents and keeps your repositories; your phone gives you another way to follow the work and answer when an agent needs you.

pair your phone with your Mac

Open Settings → Relay on the Mac and scan the pairing QR code with the iPhone app. The Mac needs to be reachable over your local network or Tailscale. You can see paired phones in Settings and revoke access to any of them.

The phone keeps the last state it received, so you can still read your runs when the connection drops. It reconnects and catches up when your Mac is reachable again. Provider credentials and the files on your Mac stay there.

keep a run moving

  • Follow the work: Read the transcript, tool calls, progress, and images from your phone.
  • Send the next step: Start, continue, fork, or stop a run, and change its model or supported run settings.
  • Answer a request: Allow or deny a tool call, or reply to a question the agent is waiting on.

know what stays on the Mac

The phone is a companion, not a remote shell. It cannot browse files, use the terminal, view diffs, or run Git actions. There are no push notifications yet, so a request appears when you open the app. The iPhone app is available through TestFlight while it is in review; Android has not shipped yet.

Before a paired Mac sends prompts to an AI provider from your phone, the app asks for your consent. You can review or revoke that choice in Settings → AI Data Sharing.
