How It Works Lunel connects your phone directly to your local machine over a secure connection. Run one command in your project directory, scan the QR code, and you're in. Your laptop stays on while you work, Lunel handles the rest. Who It's For Lunel is built for developers who want to stay productive when they're away from their desk - on the couch, commuting, traveling, or anywhere a laptop isn't practical.
