Fetchi Remote Not paired

Pair your phone

Say it once. Even from here.

Hand things to the Mac I live on, and watch it work.

  1. On the Mac: Settings, then Remote. A QR code appears.
  2. Point this camera at it. One use, about ninety seconds.
  3. Done. The code becomes this phone's own key.

Never the Mac's key, never your account's. Revoke it from Settings on the Mac and I go deaf to this phone.

No Mac? Start here.

I talk, remember what you tell me, and read the open web. Free, nothing to install.

Without a Mac

  • I can't see a screen or touch a computer. No clicks, no way to open your files.
  • I'm not signed in as you. Public pages only.
  • I'll say so. Ask for something that needs your computer and you get a plain sentence, not a worse answer.

Its own key, never your account's. One address starts here once; if Fetchi is on your Mac, pair from there.

Pairing

One moment.

Trading the one-time code for this phone's own key.

Pairing

Replace this phone's pairing?

Only replace it with a code you just made on your own Mac. Anyone can send you a link like this one.

Pairing

That didn't take.

Each code works once. On the Mac: Settings, then Remote, and scan the new one.

Reaching the relay…

No Mac attached. I'm on a server, not on a computer of yours: I can talk, remember, and look things up on the open web. I can't see a screen, open your files or run anything, and I'm not signed in as you. Ask for one of those and I say so in a sentence.

Declined

No picture yet — tap Show me and I'll go and look.

 

Look pans and zooms. Control puts your thumb on the Mac.

Voice

Hands-free is opt-in and hears you only while this page is open in front of you. Lock the phone or move to another app and I stop, and say so. Nothing in a browser tab can listen for you from a pocket, and I won't draw a mic that pretends to.

Your browser turns speech into words, not me; on some browsers the audio goes to the browser's maker for that. Only the words travel on to my Mac, sealed like everything else here. Hands-free answers to “hey Fetchi” even if you renamed me on the Mac.

Your browser turns speech into words, not me; on some browsers the audio goes to the browser's maker for that. Only the words travel on to me. Hands-free needs a Mac at the other end, so here it's hold to talk or the field.

This phone forgets its key at once, and I ask my Mac to revoke it at the relay. Settings on the Mac list every paired phone and can revoke any of them too.

This phone forgets its key at once. Only a Mac can revoke at the far end, so with none attached the key expires on its own after a month unused. What I remember stays: memory is not a key.

Pairing

This phone was unpaired.

Its key is dead, so I ignore this phone now. Scan a fresh code on the Mac and we're back.

Memory

What I remember about you.

On a Mac this is a folder of plain files. A phone has no folder, so this screen is it: every fact, where it came from, and a button to delete it.

Looking…

Tell me something to keep

Not uploaded, not synced. It leaves this phone two ways only: the export above, and the part that bears on a question, sent along with it. Unpairing doesn't touch it.
