v0.1.5
Chat
Keep the thread going.
Your Mac answers when it can. When it can't, the conversation carries on anyway — same RoachClaw, same account, no dead ends.
RoachNet iOS
RoachNet in your pocket.
RoachClaw first, then your files, your installs, a look at what the Mac is doing, and GPS for RoachAtlas. It knows it's a phone, and it's good at it.
An unsigned build for SideStore or AltStore. Connect your Mac whenever you feel like it — what you've already loaded still works when it's asleep.
Screens
Chat first. The rest stays one tap away.
Chat, your vault, app installs, a live look at the desktop, and GPS for RoachAtlas. Pocket-sized, not toy-sized.
v0.1.5
v0.1.5
Apps
Queue packs from anywhere.
Browse, line up installs, and let them land on the Mac the moment it's reachable again. Window shopping, except the things you pick actually show up.
v0.1.5
Runtime
Check the desktop fast.
See what's running, what's downloading, what needs a look, and whether RoachAtlas is actually feeding GPS to the Mac.
v0.1.5
Vault
Read your library without opening the laptop.
Maps, courses, saved pages, media, and documents — all readable on your phone, even after the connection to the Mac drops.
What’s in 0.1.5
Small companion. Real utility.
Opens quicker, connects faster, and now feeds GPS to RoachAtlas. Small app, real job.
Built for the moments when you are not at the desk.
Chat comes first, the desktop stays readable at a glance, and everything sits close enough to the Mac version that you never have to relearn it.
Opens right where you left off instead of staring at a blank page.
Every device gets its own key. Cut one off without disturbing the rest.
Scan the code on your Mac. Nobody should have to thumb a 32-character key into a phone.
See what's synced, what's off, and which devices are connected — in the same place as everything else.
Turn location sharing on only when you want it. It goes to your own Mac and nowhere else.
When the Mac goes dark, your saved notes, files, and summaries are still there to work with.
Save apps, see recents, queue sends. Useful when you are not at your desk and still somehow doing desk things.
Install
SideStore and AltStore, with the routes labeled.
Add the shared source or grab the file directly. Same build either way.
Add the source, or hand SideStore the IPA directly.
Both routes land the same companion build. The source is cleaner. The IPA is there when you need the direct file.
Add the RoachNet source in SideStore, or download the IPA and share it to SideStore to install.
Open this page on your iPhone or iPad, or AirDrop the IPA first.
Add the RoachNet source to SideStore.
Install RoachNetiOS from the source or fall back to the IPA.
Sign and install. Open RoachNetiOS and pair your Mac.
Use the same RoachNet source in AltStore.
The shared AltSource points at the current unsigned IPA and keeps the source repo in one place, where future-you can find it.
Add the same RoachNet source in AltStore, or download the IPA and import it from Files.
Open this page on your iPhone or iPad, or AirDrop the IPA first.
Install AltStore and keep AltServer available on your Mac.
Add the RoachNet source URL, then install RoachNetiOS from AltStore.
Refresh before the signature expires, then connect your Mac on first launch.
Pairing
Pair once. Keep the phone useful.
Your Mac keeps the models, the vault, and the installs. The phone stays fast because it isn't trying to be a second desktop.
Point the phone at the alias or scan the QR.
Your Mac hosts the connection. The phone just needs a quick way in, and something sensible to fall back on when the Mac goes dark.
