Share your screen to your phone on the LAN

Goal. Leave the desk while an agent works, keep an eye on it from a phone on the same Wi-Fi, and step in if needed.

Screen share and CONTROL are live on this machine.
The link carries the access key, so the link IS the key — share it like one.

Press Ctrl-C to revoke the link and stop.

Open the LAN URL on the phone. Lower the frame rate on slow Wi-Fi, or share one monitor:

Terminal window
aos remote share --monitor=2 --fps=8

From another terminal, get the URL of the running share:

Terminal window
aos remote url

Press Ctrl-C in the sharing terminal to stop.

Nothing. A share can only be started by a person at a terminal. It is not an MCP tool, and an agent should not start one on its own.

  • The link is the key. Anyone with the URL can see and control the machine while the share runs.
  • Same network only. There is no tunnel or relay. For remote access, set up an SSH tunnel yourself.
  • It runs until you stop it. Keep the terminal visible.
  • Pin a key with --key, AOS_REMOTE_KEY or ~/.config/aos/remote.json if you want the same link every time.
