- The host creates an Ed25519 identity; device approval can require someone at the machine to click Allow.
Field notes
The host can run as an agent or desktop app, while the controlling side uses a browser; the same UI is also described as shipping inside the desktop app. The page specifies hardware H.264 encoding with an OpenH264 fallback, adaptive bitrate, and an optional approval prompt at the device. Its stated host availability is macOS and Windows, with Linux still listed as roadmap.
