# Mobile Apps & PWA

OpenChamber has native apps for iPhone and Android, so you can watch sessions, reply to agents, and manage work from your phone — at home over Wi-Fi or from anywhere over the [Private Relay](/private-relay/).

## Install the app

- **iPhone/iPad** — join the [TestFlight beta](https://testflight.apple.com/join/5ek6GU1E)
- **Android** — download the APK from the [latest release](https://github.com/openchamber/openchamber/releases/latest)

## Connect it to your server

1. On the computer running OpenChamber, open **Settings → Remote Instances → Connect to this server** and press **Add a device**.
2. Pick **Anywhere** (or **Home network only** if you'll only use the phone at home) and press **Create QR code**.
3. In the mobile app, tap **Scan QR code** and point the camera at it.

The app connects and remembers the server. The QR code is single-use and each device gets its own revocable token — see [Connect a Device](/connect-devices/) for how pairing stays safe.

You can pair the app with several servers and switch between them from the instances list; the app shows for each one whether it's reachable and whether you're connected over the local network or the relay.

## PWA (browser install)

Prefer no app store at all? The web app installs straight from the browser:

- **desktop browser** — use the **Install** option in the address bar
- **iPhone/iPad (Safari)** — Share → **Add to Home Screen**
- **Android (Chrome)** — menu → **Install app** / **Add to Home Screen**

To reach the PWA from outside your network you'll need a [tunnel](/tunnels/) and a strong [UI password](/security/) — the native apps handle this for you via the relay.

## Mobile settings

Under **Settings → OpenChamber**, a few options tune the mobile and installed experience — the app's installed name, screen orientation, and how the on-screen keyboard behaves.
