Remote
Your devices, all in one place
Remote is the main view of Anywhere AI and the first thing you see after signing in. It lists every device you have registered and shows whether each one is online. Your own devices are organised into groups, while devices that other users have shared with you appear in a separate shared devices area rather than being merged into your own list. Recently used and active secure connections are also offered as quick shortcuts. From here you add new devices and open a device to start a secure session.
What this view does
Each device is shown as a card with its name and current connection status. Selecting a device opens its overview, where a grid of tool cards lets you choose what you want to do with it. All sessions run over an encrypted connection, and the device is never exposed directly to the internet.
- Add device — register a new device or accept one shared with you.
- Intelligent Terminal — run commands or chat with an AI assistant.
- Remote Desktop — open the graphical desktop of the device.
- Web-to-Local — forward a service running on the device to your computer.
- File Browser — browse, transfer and edit files on the device.
- System Monitor — view live system health and running tasks.
Open a device and start a session
- Select Remote in the left-hand menu.
- Find the device in the list and check that its status shows as online.
- Click the device to open its overview.
- Choose a tool from the grid of tool cards in the overview — for example Remote Desktop or File Browser.
- When you are finished, end the session; usage is counted against your licence limits.
