Mobile Access
Access AgentOS from your phone, tablet, or any device.
AgentOS is built for mobile. Here's how to access it from anywhere.
AgentOS Cloud
With AgentOS Cloud, mobile access is automatic. Your VM comes with a secure subdomain that works from any device.
Your Subdomain
After creating your VM, you get a URL like:
https://your-vm.runagentos.com
Open this on your phone, tablet, or any browser. No VPN, no port forwarding, no configuration.
Add to Home Screen
For an app-like experience, add AgentOS to your home screen:
iOS Safari:
- Open your AgentOS URL in Safari
- Tap the Share button
- Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen
- Tap Add
Android Chrome:
- Open your AgentOS URL in Chrome
- Tap the menu (three dots)
- Tap Add to Home screen
- Tap Add
Now launch AgentOS like any other app—no browser chrome, full-screen experience.
Self-Hosted: Tailscale Setup
If you're running AgentOS on your own machine, use Tailscale for secure mobile access.
Why Tailscale?
- No port forwarding - Works through firewalls and NAT
- Encrypted - End-to-end encryption between devices
- Works anywhere - Coffee shops, mobile data, hotel WiFi
- Free tier - Generous free plan for personal use
Step 1: Install on Your Dev Machine
macOS:
- Download from tailscale.com/download
- Install and sign in (Google, GitHub, or email)
- Note your Tailscale IP from the menu bar (looks like
100.x.x.x)
Linux:
curl -fsSL https://tailscale.com/install.sh | sh
sudo tailscale up
tailscale ip -4 # Note this IP
Step 2: Install on Your Phone
- Download Tailscale from App Store (iOS) or Play Store (Android)
- Sign in with the same account you used on your dev machine
- Your dev machine should appear in the device list
Step 3: Access AgentOS
On your phone's browser, go to:
http://100.x.x.x:3011
Replace 100.x.x.x with your dev machine's Tailscale IP.
Bookmark this URL or add it to your home screen for quick access.

Tips for Mobile Coding
Use Quick Keys
The Quick Keys mode gives you one-tap access to:
- Y / n - Answer yes/no prompts
- Enter - Submit input
- Ctrl+C - Cancel/interrupt
- Ctrl+D - Exit/EOF
- Ctrl+L - Clear screen
Pair with Bluetooth Keyboard
For extended sessions, a Bluetooth keyboard transforms the experience:
- Apple Magic Keyboard
- Logitech Keys-To-Go (ultra-portable)
- Any compact Bluetooth keyboard
The virtual keyboard is great for quick interactions, but physical keys are better for longer work.
Enable Notifications
Turn on browser notifications to know when sessions need attention. You'll get an alert when any session enters "waiting" status—no need to keep checking.
- Tap the bell icon in the header
- Allow notifications when prompted
- Optionally enable sound alerts
