Condr Docs

Mobile app

Condr for iPhone and Android shows every Agent on the computers you pair with it, lists the ones waiting for you first, and opens any Pane so you can read and reply. The iPhone app is in public beta on TestFlight; the Android app ships as an APK in its own releases on GitHub until it reaches Google Play with the first stable release (see the Roadmap).

Requirements

Section titled “Requirements”
  • An iPhone with iOS 26 or later, or an Android phone with Android 10 or later.
  • Condr 0.1.13 or later on each computer you pair.

Install

Section titled “Install”

iPhone

Section titled “iPhone”
  1. Install TestFlight from the App Store.
  2. On the iPhone, open the Condr beta invitation and tap Accept, then Install.

When a new beta comes out, update the app in TestFlight. Each beta expires after 90 days, usually after a newer one is out.

Android

Section titled “Android”
  1. On the phone, open the latest Condr Companion release and download condr-companion-<version>.apk.
  2. Open the download and allow installing from your browser when Android asks.

To update, install a newer APK over it: every APK is signed with the same key, so the phone keeps its pairings.

Pair a computer

Section titled “Pair a computer”
  1. In Condr on the computer, open Settings › Paired devices.
  2. If Add a phone or computer says other devices can’t connect yet, click Allow connections, then Restart. This turns on Peer-to-peer, which works from any network; restarting stops every Pane and Agent on the computer. If the phone can reach the computer’s address directly, you can turn on TCP under Connections instead.
  3. Click Show pairing code.
  4. On the phone, tap Pair with Your Computer, then Scan Code, and give the computer a name.

A pairing code works once and expires after 10 minutes. On a computer without the desktop app, run condr server invite and tap Paste a Link Instead on the phone; see Remote connections for turning on Peer-to-peer or TCP from the command line.

To try the app without a computer, tap No computer to pair? Try Demo under Scan Code.

Use

Section titled “Use”
  • Agents: every Agent on every paired computer, with Needs you at the top: the Agents that are Blocked or failed, with what they said. Tap one to open its Pane.
  • In a Pane: the phone becomes one more window on the terminal and sizes it to the phone’s screen. Clicking or typing in the Pane on the computer takes the size back, and it also returns within seconds after you leave the Pane on the phone. Type with the keyboard; the key row above it has Escape, Tab, Shift-Tab, Control, the arrows, Home, End, Page Up and Page Down. Swipe to scroll, tap to click or open a link, and long-press to copy.
  • What it doesn’t do: the phone doesn’t create or close Workspaces, Tabs or Panes, or start Agents. Do that on the computer.
  • App lock: the app asks for Face ID, Touch ID, or the passcode on an iPhone, and for your fingerprint, face, or screen lock on Android, when it starts and when you return after more than five minutes away. It is off until you turn it on in the app’s Settings.

Limits

Section titled “Limits”
  • The app is connected only while it is open. The iPhone app gets a notification when an Agent finishes, fails or needs you; the Android app gets none yet, and once it does they will need Google Play services. See the Roadmap.
  • Computers connected over SSH can’t be paired with the phone. Use Peer-to-peer or TCP.
  • Phones only; no iPad or tablet layout.

If you lose your phone

Section titled “If you lose your phone”

On each computer it was paired with, open Settings › Paired devices and click Revoke next to the phone, or run condr server revoke <fingerprint or prefix>. A new phone pairs again as a new device.
