Open a Handoff on Your Phone
Scan one QR code and a handoff opens in your phone's browser — no app to install, served by the machine itself over a Cloudflare quick tunnel so it keeps working with the laptop closed. Follow the live log, send the next instruction, stop a run, and unlock a `tmux` shell on the box with a 6-digit Admin PIN.

Why You Need This
How this feature boosts your daily productivity
Handing a job to a machine only helps if you can still see what it is doing. SSHing back in from a phone keyboard is miserable, and a hosted dashboard would mean trusting someone else with your box. Open on phone serves the page from the machine you already own, shows the same log the desktop task view shows, and lets you queue the next instruction or stop a run from a train seat. Push notifications tell you when a run ends, the scan screen lists every signed-in phone with Sign out all, and taking the handoff back turns the link off on its own.
