Set up your Mac home node

The home node keeps your Mac reachable over an encrypted relay so the iOS app can chat and invoke tools while you are away.

Requirements

• macOS with AnchorTrails / mesh home node installed
• LaunchAgent daemon running (starts at login)
• Cloudflare relay deployed (included in the anchortrails repo)

Quick start

1. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/fayaz1010/anchortrails.git
2. Start the home node: ./scripts/mesh/start_home_node.sh
3. In the desktop app, open Devices → Enable remote access to show the pairing QR.
4. On iPhone, install from TestFlight and scan the QR.

Verify

• Desktop app shows relay connected
• Phone status: connected · 1 computer online
• Send a test message from the phone
