Add an existing device

Connect a machine you already use

Choose Existing device to bring a computer you already run — a Mac, a Windows PC or a Linux machine — under Anywhere AI. You pick its operating system and run the installer for that platform; no new hardware or image is needed.

Supported systems

macOS — Apple-Silicon or Intel .pkg installer. You enable Remote Login as a prerequisite.
Windows — an installer.cmd. WSL is set up as a prerequisite.
Linux — a curl-based install command, with any prerequisites shown as prompted.

Connect the machine

Choose Existing device.
Select the operating system — macOS, Windows or Linux.
Set a device name (checked for uniqueness) and complete the OS-specific prerequisites: on macOS enable Remote Login; on Windows set up WSL; on Linux follow the prompts.
The app shows a device ID and a download for that platform — the macOS Apple-Silicon or Intel .pkg, the Windows installer.cmd, or the Linux curl-based install command.
Run the installer / command on the machine.
The app waits for the device to check in.
On success it jumps straight to the device's configuration page, ready to use.

Adding a device counts toward your plan's device limit; see Licence & billing.
