Mobile Connectivity

How the phone and desktop stay in sync.

A Cross Device Runtime is the central sync hub — it keeps conversation state, notifications, and pending approvals consistent between your desktop session and a paired phone in real time.

How it works

What you see

  • Pairing, trusted devices, presence, notifications and approvals on your phone.
  • Clear status: active, paired, waiting for approval or disconnected.

What PawOS does

  • Pairing creates a trusted link between your phone and your desktop.
  • Your desktop stays in charge of files, commands, installs and apps.
  • Approvals on your phone respond to real pending requests from your desktop.

Permissions

  • Pairing a phone never gives it direct access to your files, terminal, connections or deployments.
  • An approval from your phone still goes through the desktop’s own checks.

Records

  • Presence and approvals are tied to real task and approval state on your desktop.

Good to know

  • Mobile works alongside the desktop app; your desktop needs to be online.
