Once you are in

The day-to-day jobs.

Commands, files, admin, and host tools on the PC, the Pi, or the lab box. The phone is the keyboard. The machine does the work.

What you can do once you are connected

The paths above get you there. This list is the real work on the other side — machines you control, not a rented cloud PC. Expand for the day-to-day jobs from Rune on the phone.

Run the full command line on your host

Once you are logged in, you are on that OS — not a toy shell on the phone. List files, edit configs, run scripts, start and stop services, check logs, use git, build tools, Docker, package managers — whatever already lives on that box, whether it is a full desktop or a Pi in a drawer.

Fix and operate without sitting at the desk

Restart a service that fell over. Pull the latest code. Check disk space. Kill a stuck process. Tail a log while you are on the couch or in a hotel. Same admin work you would do from a laptop — now from the Android in your pocket.

Move files between phone and host

Push a note, log, or capture up to the host; pull a config or build artifact down. Use vw put / vw get (scp under the hood) and shared paths so the phone is a courier, not the only hard drive that matters.

Use tools that already live on the host

AI helpers, compilers, databases, internal scripts — run them where the files and licenses already are. API keys and heavy models stay on the machine you trust; the phone is the remote console, not a second vault of secrets.

Not just PCs — any host you own

Desk PC · laptop · home Linux box · Raspberry Pi · NAS · lab node · mesh appliance — if it accepts your login, Rune can open the session. Keep several sessions open (S1, S2, …) and switch without killing work.

Home LAN or “from anywhere”

On the same Wi‑Fi: go straight to the host. Away from home: put phone and host on a personal mesh (we walk through Tailscale) so the same login works from cellular or a hotel network — without opening your router to the whole internet. Setup guide →

Keep the session alive when you leave the app

Lock the screen, answer a call, switch tabs — Rune can keep the remote session running with a notification (optional wakelock). Come back and pick up where you left off.

What Void Walker adds around the connection

On-device shell and packages when you need local tools · product CLI (vw) · multi-session · host profiles · file transfer · cockpit health · optional mosh on Linux/Pi · armor on the phone while you work on hostile Wi‑Fi. The selling point is not “we invented SSH.” It is your whole setup — PCs, Pis, and the rest — from the pocket, with the deck in one app. All eight connection forms →
