FAQ

Where is session data stored

The DSH service runs on your machine, and session data stays there by default. The phone and the browser are clients that connect in — not another cloud copy.

Does the phone see the same sessions

Yes: the same sessions, the same files, the same workspace.

Why is there a relay at all

Because your Mac is usually behind NAT and has no publicly reachable address. The relay’s only job is to move bytes by routing key; it cannot read them, keeps nothing on disk and logs nothing.

Can the relay see my data

No. Phone and Mac speak Noise end-to-end; the relay reads only the 37-byte cleartext header for routing and copies bytes after that.

Can I run my own relay

Yes. The relay is a single-port Rust implementation and can point at your own infrastructure — no dependency on our hosting.

What if I lose my phone

Revoke that device in the Mac’s device list. Revocation drops its live connections immediately, rather than waiting for its next connection.

Which permission mode should I use

Pick per task and take it back when done. Do not enable writes for read-only research; return the level to its default afterwards.

Which models are supported

Chosen per session. Models differ in reasoning depth, speed and tool-calling ability.

Still stuck

• Troubleshooting — cannot connect, service not running.
• Open source and audit — read the code.
