Install and connect

One command installs it; one more puts the machine on your phone.

Install

curl -fsSL https://app.daktylconnect.com/install.sh | sh

This installs the daktyl CLI and the channel plugin under ~/.daktyl/. Nothing needs root and nothing is added to a system path you do not own.

Connect the machine

daktyl connect

connect is the one verb: it signs you in, registers this computer, and starts its daemon — skipping whatever is already done. If you are not signed in it prints a QR code to scan with the app, which pairs the machine to your account. Run it again any time; it is idempotent.

Headless box with no browser? daktyl account login --manual prints a URL you can open anywhere and paste the token back.

Check it

daktyl status      # hub health, who you are signed in as, registered machines
daktyl doctor      # read-only health check of this machine
daktyl fleet       # every agent and seat across the fleet

Register a project

A project is a directory an agent may be launched into. Register the one you are standing in:

daktyl project add            # registers $PWD
daktyl project ls

Start an agent

daktyl create                                   # guided: name, harness, model, permissions, project
daktyl create --harness codex --project my-repo # every question a flag answers is not asked

A fully flagged invocation is scriptable and needs no terminal. From then on the agent is on your phone: chat, calls, status, approvals.

Keep it current

daktyl update            # self-update the CLI + plugin from the hub (sha256-verified)
daktyl update --check    # report what is available, change nothing

Windows

Daktyl Connect runs under WSL. In PowerShell: wsl --install, restart, open your WSL terminal, then run the two commands above. Native Windows support comes later.

Remove it

daktyl uninstall
