Setup

Your workspace. Now on your phone.

Set up the connector on your computer, then pair your phone. This workspace currently ships source builds.

1. Build the connector

From the root of this repository, install dependencies and build the desktop connector. Node.js 24 or later and pnpm are required.

pnpm install
pnpm --filter @dashup/connector build

The connector runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Screen capture and input permissions depend on your operating system.

2. Sign in

Create a Dashup account or use an existing one. Use the same account in the mobile app.

Account service: https://api.dashup.com

3. Pair your phone

Open the connector’s sign-in and pairing page, then scan its QR code in the Dashup app. The command below keeps the connector running after pairing.

pnpm --filter @dashup/connector dashup pair --api https://api.dashup.com

The commands below use the API origin configured for this site. On a phone, use an HTTPS origin that both devices can reach.

4. Run the mobile app

Use the native iOS or Android shell in apps/mobile. iOS needs macOS and Xcode; Android needs the Android SDK. Follow the repository setup notes for the native toolchain.

pnpm ios
# or
pnpm android

5. Open a project and receive an alert

Keep the connector terminal open after pairing. It discovers supported saved projects and threads on that computer and delivers encrypted updates to your phone. After a restart, use the watch command below.

pnpm --filter @dashup/connector dashup watch

In another terminal, list your projects, then use a project ID in the alert command. Replace PROJECT_ID below with that ID. The connector encrypts the alert before it leaves your computer.

pnpm --filter @dashup/connector dashup projects
pnpm --filter @dashup/connector dashup alert --project PROJECT_ID --title "Dashup is connected"

Know what your connector can see

Saved Zed and VS Code histories are read-only. Attach an ACP proxy for live conversation and approval controls. Use doctor to inspect editor discovery, screen capture and input support on your computer. Screen access and control need local permission.

pnpm --filter @dashup/connector dashup doctor
