Remote Access
Remote Access puts Phalanx’s screens on your phone: start and stop tasks, read statuses, check your checkouts. It’s the app itself, not a cut-down copy.
Pair your phone
Section titled “Pair your phone”- On your PC, open Settings > Remote Access and press Pair a Phone.
- Scan the code with your phone’s camera and open the link. The code works once, for 10 minutes. Or press Copy Link Instead and send the link to your phone.
- Set up Face ID or your fingerprint when asked. The phone needs it every time it connects.
- Back on the PC, press Let It In.
Add the page to your home screen (Share > Add to Home Screen on iPhone) so it opens like an app.
How it’s kept private
Section titled “How it’s kept private”- Your phone connects straight to your PC. The Phalanx server only introduces the two, and stores nothing.
- Every connection needs your face or fingerprint, so a copied link alone opens nothing.
- On networks that block direct connections, such as some cellular ones, the connection goes through an encrypted relay. The relay can’t read it.
- A few things only work on the PC itself: activating your license, exporting files, and pairing.
Remove a phone
Section titled “Remove a phone”Settings > Remote Access lists paired phones. Revoke one and it can’t connect again until it’s paired again.
