PWA & Mobile Access

The OpenChamber web app installs like a phone app (a PWA), so you can keep it on your home screen and use it full-screen. Pair it with a tunnel and you can check in on a session from anywhere.

Install it

OpenChamber uses your browser’s built-in install, so there’s no separate download:

  • desktop browser — use the Install option in the address bar
  • iPhone/iPad (Safari) — Share → Add to Home Screen
  • Android (Chrome) — menu → Install app / Add to Home Screen

Once installed, it opens in its own window without browser chrome.

Reach it from your phone

To open OpenChamber on your phone when the server runs on your computer, start a tunnel and open the link (or scan the QR code) on the phone. Use a strong UI password whenever you do this.

Mobile settings

Under Settings → OpenChamber, a few options tune the mobile and installed experience — the app’s installed name, screen orientation, and how the on-screen keyboard behaves.

  • Tunnels — reach your instance from another network
  • Security — protect the UI before exposing it
