How to get help
Ask a question
- Ghostex Discord: the fastest way to get an answer from me and other Ghostex users.
- GitHub issues: report a bug or ask for a feature, and follow it until it is fixed.
- @maddada on X: send me a message.
Report a bug from the app
In Ghostex on your computer or in the phone app, choose Send Bug / Feedback. You review the issue before it is sent, and it is posted publicly on the Ghostex GitHub, so leave out anything private.
Connect the phone app to your computer
- Install Ghostex on your Mac, Windows or Linux computer from ghostex.dev and open it.
- On the computer, open the Ghostex menu at the top of the sidebar, choose Mobile & Remote, and click Connect under Easy Connect.
- In the phone app, tap Connect your computer, then Scan a code, and scan it.
Already use Tailscale? Choose Use Tailscale in the phone app instead and enter your computer's Tailscale address, username and password.
If the phone cannot reach your computer
- Is the computer awake? A sleeping computer cannot answer. Ghostex can keep it awake while sessions run (Keep awake in Settings → General).
- Is Ghostex open on the computer? Easy Connect runs inside Ghostex; if it quit or updated, open it again.
- Is Easy Connect still on? On the computer, open Settings → Remote and check that Easy Connect says Running and SSH access is on.
- Was this phone unpaired? A phone removed from Paired devices on the computer has to scan a new code.
Privacy
The phone app talks only to the computers you pair it with, and your code, prompts and conversations are never sent to me. The details are in the privacy policy.
