MausBot

MausBot is the phone half of OpenMausBot — your own team of AI bots, running on your own computer.
Pair once, and you can read and answer your bots from anywhere, while the work keeps happening on
your machine.

Your computer does the thinking. The phone is a remote control — so your conversations, files, and
credentials stay where you put them.

WHAT YOU CAN DO FROM THE PHONE

• Chat with any bot on your computer, and start new conversations
• Get a notification the moment a bot replies, finishes, or needs you
• Approve or reject an action a bot wants to take, before it happens
• Talk instead of typing — voice mode, or call a bot like a phone call
• Send a photo, a document, or a link straight into a conversation from any app's share sheet
• Open the files your bots make, without leaving the chat
• Switch between several computers, and between the threads on each one

HOW PAIRING WORKS

Open OpenMausBot on your desktop, go to Settings > Phone, and choose "Set up a phone" to show the
pairing QR code. Scan it with this app. That is the whole setup. The phone then reaches your
computer in one of three ways:

• On the same Wi-Fi, directly
• Over Tailscale, if you use it
• Over an optional encrypted connection, if you turn that on, so your phone works when you are away
from the network

YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS

Bots, conversations, approvals, and files live on your computer, not on our servers. There are no
ads, no third-party analytics SDKs, and no cross-app tracking. Credentials you type on the phone are
encrypted for your computer before they leave the screen.

REQUIRES A COMPUTER RUNNING OPENMAUSBOT

This app is a companion, not a standalone assistant. You need the free OpenMausBot desktop app for
macOS, Windows, or Linux — openmausbot.com — and your own model API key or local model. It does not
