RoachNet iOS

RoachClaw in your pocket.

Pick up chats, read the shelf, queue installs, and watch the desktop lane without opening the Mac.

Screens

Four views. One carry lane.

Chat first. Runtime and installs close behind it.

Chat

Pick up the RoachClaw lane.

Live chat when the Mac is paired, cached RoachBrain replies when it is not.

RoachNet iOS Apps view
Apps

Send installs back to your Mac.

Saved apps, recent sends, and queued installs that flush when the desktop lane comes back.

RoachNet iOS Runtime view
Runtime

Check the desktop lane fast.

Models, services, downloads, and the RoachTail toggle stay visible on the phone.

RoachNet iOS Vault view
Vault

Read the shelf without opening the shell.

RoachBrain, indexed files, and archive summaries stay close on the phone even when the bridge drops.

What’s new in 0.1.1

Faster paint. Better bridge.

Faster start

Cached state paints fast instead of rebuilding the whole lane on every launch.

RoachTail

Each phone gets its own peer token and a private bridge lane back to the desktop.

Offline RoachBrain

Cached runtime, vault, and Apps state still answer when the Mac or internet disappears.

Apps utility

Saved apps, recents, and queued sends make the mobile Apps lane useful away from the desktop.

Install

Install with SideStore.

Use the unsigned IPA and share it straight into SideStore.

1

Download the unsigned IPA to Files on your iPhone or iPad.

2

Open SideStore or AltStore and add the RoachNet IPA from Files.

3

Let it sign and install, then open RoachNet iOS and pair the Mac lane.

Download the IPA, then share it to SideStore to install.

Pairing

Point the phone at your Mac.

The desktop still owns the models, vault, installs, and the RoachTail host lane. The phone stays the carry surface.

Companion URL

Use http://<your-mac-ip>:38111 on a real device.

Pair code

Use the one-time RoachTail join code to mint a peer token for this device.

Fallback

If the bridge goes dark, chat, vault reads, runtime snapshots, and Apps installs stay cached until the desktop comes back.
