About
OpenAB Remote turns your iPhone into a private push-to-talk remote and terminal client for OpenAB Connect.
Pair with your Mac over the local network, dictate with on-device speech recognition, and send only terminal-safe text to the selected session. Import your own runtime connections from OpenAB Connect, browse live sessions, and attach directly over your own Tailscale network.
Choose your speech engine: Apple's on-device recognition (no download), or optionally download Whisper (OpenAI, MIT) or SenseVoice (Alibaba FunASR) to run on this iPhone — SenseVoice is recommended for Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese and Korean.
• On-device push-to-talk transcription
• Direct terminal session attach and resume
• Remembered, encrypted nearby pairing
• Explicit Auto-Enter permission
• No account, analytics, advertising, or telemetry
• Optional Whisper engine: download an open-source model once (MIT) and run it fully on-device
• Fully offline Demo Mode for evaluation
OpenAB Remote talks only to your Mac and infrastructure — plus, only if you choose the Whisper engine, a one-time model download from Hugging Face. Your speech, credentials, and terminal sessions are not sent to an OpenAB service.

Sessions stay on the latest output when you switch to another app and come back, instead of jumping up into history. If you had scrolled up to read history, your place is kept.
