- Pair devices once with a QR code; remote connections can use Tailscale or Cloudflare, with no Mob server in between.
Field notes
The setup divides the work between mobd on an always-on Mac or Linux machine and Mob Desktop or Mob Mobile on the user's other devices. A QR code pairs each device; the page describes LAN access or remote connections through Tailscale or Cloudflare. It also says Linux conversations can each have their own desktop, with idle ones put to sleep.
