Sidemesh

Getting started

Install the host on a trusted machine with npm install -g sidemesh @openai/codex, then run sidemesh up. Open the app and scan the pairing QR code, or add the host manually. The app will connect directly to your host over your private network. The setup guide on GitHub covers other agents and options.

The app cannot reach my host

Make sure your device and host are on the same network or connected through Tailscale. Verify the daemon is running with sidemesh status, and run sidemesh doctor to check the host and its agents. Check that the host address and token in the app match what the daemon printed during setup.

Notifications are not arriving

Enable notifications for Sidemesh in iOS Settings → Notifications. Background sync also requires Background App Refresh to be enabled. The app checks for updates periodically when in the background.

Live Activities are not showing

Live Activities require iOS 16.1 or later. Make sure they are enabled in Settings → Sidemesh → Live Activities. They appear when an agent session is active.
