Handback routes headless browser logins to your devices
Handback sends browser links from remote or headless machines to a Mac, iPhone, or iPad, then tunnels localhost sign-in callbacks back to the machine that started them.

- Developers using headless or remote machines
- Worth noticing
- For localhost OAuth callbacks, the app binds the callback port on your device and tunnels the redirect back to the originating machine.
Field notes
The described flow begins with a command such as codex login waiting on a localhost port on a remote box. Handback sends the sign-in link to a device, catches the redirect there, and carries it back to the waiting process. The page names Tailscale as the recommended connection, also allowing a trusted LAN; it says link history stays on-device and there is no relay.
