Setup

Your workspace. Now on your phone.

Dashup is currently available as source builds. Follow these steps to connect your computer and phone, then pick up your work wherever you are.

1. Build the connector

From the root of this repository, install dependencies and build the desktop connector. Node.js 24 or later and pnpm are required.

pnpm install
pnpm exec turbo build --filter=@dashup/connector...

The connector runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Screen capture and input permissions depend on your operating system.

2. Sign in

Create a Dashup account or use an existing one. Use the same account in the mobile app.

Account service: https://api.dashup.com

3. Pair your phone

Run the connector and scan the QR code it prints with the Dashup app. The first time, confirm your account in the terminal. The command keeps the connector running after pairing.

pnpm --filter @dashup/connector dashup pair --api https://api.dashup.com

The commands below use the API origin configured for this site. On a phone, use an HTTPS origin that both devices can reach.

4. Run the mobile app

Use the native iOS or Android shell in apps/mobile. iOS needs macOS and Xcode; Android needs the Android SDK. Follow the repository setup notes for the native toolchain.

pnpm ios
# or
pnpm android

5. Open a project and receive an alert

Keep the connector terminal open after pairing. It discovers supported saved projects and threads on that computer and delivers encrypted updates to your phone. After a restart, use the watch command below.

pnpm --filter @dashup/connector dashup watch

In another terminal, list your projects, then use a project ID in the alert command. Replace PROJECT_ID below with that ID. The connector encrypts the alert before it leaves your computer.

pnpm --filter @dashup/connector dashup projects
pnpm --filter @dashup/connector dashup alert --project PROJECT_ID --title "Dashup is connected"

Know what your connector can see

Saved Zed and VS Code histories are read-only. Attach an ACP proxy for live conversation and approval controls. Use doctor to inspect editor discovery, screen capture and input support on your computer. Screen access and control need local permission.

pnpm --filter @dashup/connector dashup doctor
