No account required for navigation.

PortOS is the native iPhone and iPad companion for your self-hosted PortOS fleet. CONNECT YOUR FLEET Add multiple PortOS instances over Tailscale, see connection health at a glance, select the active destination, and inspect federation peers from one native control surface. CAPTURE FROM ANYWHERE Send typed notes or on-device dictation to Brain or Daily Log on the PortOS instance you choose. Your phone transcribes speech locally and sends text—not an audio archive. RUN SAFE QUICK ACTIONS PortOS publishes a palette-safe action manifest. The app turns those approved actions into native forms, validates required fields, and confirms destructive operations before sending them. PRIVATE BY DESIGN There is no PortDeck-operated cloud. Instance credentials stay in Apple Keychain. Optional iCloud Keychain sync can keep fleet profiles and passwords available across your opted-in devices. Your notes, logs, and action content go directly to the PortOS machine you select. REQUIRES PORTOS PortOS is self-hosted software for machines you own and manage. This companion app does not provide hosted PortOS service. An offline demo is included so you can explore the experience before connecting your fleet.
