Remote Access
Remote Access
Kick off a long agent run at your desk, then keep an eye on it from the couch. Remote Access serves the chat to your phone over your local network — you can watch it work, send prompts, approve permissions, and switch modes, all from the browser on your phone.

Turning it on
- Run LakshX: Enable Remote Access from the command palette (it’s off by default).
- Confirm the warning — this grants view and control, not just viewing.
- Scan the QR code that appears with your phone’s camera.
The status bar shows Remote: <port> while it’s on; click it to bring the QR back. Run LakshX: Disable Remote Access to stop the server.
View AND control
Anyone who scans the QR can send prompts, approve permission requests, and switch modes — exactly as if they were sitting at your keyboard. Only share the QR with people (and on networks) you trust, and disable it when you’re done.
How it works
- LakshX starts a small HTTP server on your local network.
- Pairing is protected by a random token generated per session, held in memory only — nothing is written to disk.
- The QR encodes the pairing URL with that token; control actions are token-gated with timing-safe checks.
Permission sync
Permission prompts stay in sync across every surface. If a prompt is waiting and you approve it on your phone, it resolves on the desktop too (and vice-versa) — you’ll never have the same request hanging in two places.
Built for mobile
The phone view is a real mobile composer — it auto-grows, keeps the input above the keyboard, and escalates reconnects — so steering a run from your phone actually feels usable, not like a shrunken desktop page.
