Start where your agents run.

Your phone and Slack are remote controls. The host is what they reach: the computer that holds your code and runs your agents. Install it first, then pair a phone over your tailnet or bind Slack channels on a computer the team shares.

Install this first

PRCHD for macOS

The menubar host runs your agent CLIs, owns every worktree and process, and serves your phone directly over Tailscale.

Drag PRCHD to Applications before the first launch so it can update itself — a translocated copy can’t.

Installing on a shared computer?

The same DMG runs a team host.

What changes is the part after launch: you bind Slack channels to projects and leave the host unpaired. Tailscale and the phone app belong to a personal host, so a team host skips both. Read these two first.

PRCHD for iPhone, iPad, and Android

This is where the agent finds you. Scan the host’s pairing code, then reach every project and workspace on each computer you’ve paired. A Slack-only team host skips this step.

Requirements

What you need depends on who it’s for.

A personal host reaches your phone over your tailnet. A team host answers in Slack instead, so its list trades Tailscale and the phone app for a Slack workspace.

Not needed Tailscale and the phone app. Channel membership is the grant.

Next step

Pair your phone in about ten minutes.

Install Tailscale, launch the host, sign in to an agent CLI, and scan the code — from then on, the agent’s next finished turn is on your phone. A team host takes an afternoon instead, and no phone.
