Remote Control
Access your entire workspace from any device — pair via QR code, manage devices in Settings, and toggle the remote server on or off.
Why You Need This
How this feature boosts your daily productivity
Your development workspace is locked to your desk, but your need to check on builds, respond to failing tests, and monitor AI agents isn't. Remote Control turns your 1DevTool workspace into a server that any paired device can access. Scan a QR code or tap a pairing URL to connect your phone, tablet, or another computer. Manage paired devices in Settings with last-seen timestamps and a toggle to start or stop the remote server. You stay in control of who can access your workspace, and you can revoke access instantly.
