olace

[ remote access ]

Pair a device

Pairing takes one scan, one short code, or one tap. Sign in with the same account on both devices first.

Phone to computer

  1. On the computer, open Settings › Remote Access and choose Share local AI, or run olace pair --code. A QR code appears.
  2. On your phone, open Settings › Remote Access › Pair a computer in Olace and scan the code. Scanning with the plain camera app works too; the link opens Olace, or the app store if it is not installed yet, and you confirm with Pair.
  3. Done: the phone can now use this computer's models, at home or away.

No camera handy? Every QR screen also shows an 8-character code like ABCD-1234. Type it into Pair a computer on the phone.

No code needed when the phone and the computer are signed in to the same account: the computer is listed under Available to pair in Settings › Remote Access on the phone. Tap Pair.

Computer to computer

Both ends are computers, so pick roles: the one with the strong GPU shares, the laptop consumes.

  • Signed in on both? Open Settings › Remote Access on the consuming machine and pick the host from Available to pair. It pairs instantly.
  • Or use a code, same as the phone flow: show a code on the host, claim it on the consumer.

From the terminal

olace pair              # same-account menu: pick a host, done
olace pair --code       # show a code + QR; this machine becomes the host
olace pair claim ABCD-1234   # claim a code; this machine uses the host's models
olace pair list         # see active pairings

After pairing

The host's models show up in the consumer's model selector, marked with the host's name. Try one from your phone away from home; the first request wakes the model on your computer.
