## What is OpenAB Remote?

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.

• 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
• Fully offline Demo Mode for evaluation

OpenAB Remote talks only to your Mac and infrastructure. Your speech, credentials, and terminal sessions are not sent to an OpenAB service.
