About

OpenAB Remote

Features
Read full description

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 โ€” SenseVoice is recommended for Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese and Korean. โ€ข On-device push-to-talk transcription โ€ข Direct terminal session attach and resume โ€ข Remembered, encrypted nearby pairing โ€ข Explicit Auto-Enter permission โ€ข No account, analytics, advertising, or telemetry โ€ข Optional Whisper engine: download an open-source model once (MIT) and run it fully on-device โ€ข Fully offline Demo Mode for evaluation OpenAB Remote talks only to your Mac and infrastructure โ€” 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.
