Paired Devices

Pair a second computer so its agents, terminals, and projects are usable from this one — with per-peer permissions and a fingerprint you both confirm.

You have a laptop and a Mac mini. Or an office box and a VPS, both running 1DevTool. Devices pairs them, so the agents on one machine are usable from the other without a remote desktop session.

Open Settings → Devices.

Pairing

  1. Show a pairing code on one computer.
  2. Paste it on the other.
  3. Confirm the same three-word fingerprint on both screens.

Step 3 is not decoration. A key exchange nobody read aloud never becomes a paired device — if the words differ, something sat in the middle, and pairing is refused.

Once paired, that machine's terminals, projects, and installed agent CLIs are readable here.

Prompting a peer's agent

@mention a peer's AI terminal in Agent Input and send it a prompt like any other linked terminal.

Peer rows read as codex · Mini, so you always know which machine a mention runs on, and only online peers that granted you a catalog are offered at all.

Three guarantees worth knowing:

  • A prompt to a peer never silently falls back to a local agent.
  • It is never staged into a plain shell if the AI terminal is not ready.
  • A dead terminal on the other side reports that, instead of swallowing the message.

Per-peer permissions

Each peer gets its own grants:

  • See terminals
  • Control terminals
  • Orchestration
  • Memories
  • Headless runs

Every grant is enforced by the machine that owns the resource, not by the machine asking — so revoking a permission here actually stops the other side, rather than politely requesting that it stop. Revoke at any time.

Networking

Reachable over LAN, Tailscale, or a VPN. Candidate addresses are probed at connect time and the route that answered is remembered for next time, so a laptop that moves between home and office does not need reconfiguring.

Nothing runs until you pair something

With no paired device there is no server, no device identity, and no background work — the Devices tab is the only trace of the feature anywhere in the app. Pairing is the switch that turns it on.

Licensing

Pairing needs Pro. Managing pairings you already have never does, so an expired licence can never hold your devices hostage.
