Devices and Access Management

The account device list shows only desktop computers that have allowed remote control. Online status comes from the computer itself; you never have to manage a Relay address, a pairing code, or a connection token.

The name shown in the list defaults to what the computer reports, but you can change it: on that computer, go to Settings → Remote Control and give it a name you recognize (for example "Work Mac" or "Bedroom"). Your custom name takes priority and will not be overwritten by the heartbeat the computer sends every 20 seconds. Klaus iOS shows this name read-only; renaming happens on the desktop. When one account has several computers, this step saves you from guessing which machine you are actually connected to.

Allow or block remote control of a computer

On the desktop, use the "Allow remote control of this device" switch in Settings → Remote Control:

• When it is on, the computer registers in the account device list and accepts connections from mobile devices signed in to the same Klaus account.
• When it is off, the computer is removed from the device list and any existing mobile connection ends.

This switch only decides remote access. It does not sign the desktop out of its account, and it does not delete local sessions.

Online status

• Online: the desktop is running, connected to the network, and remote control is on, so it can accept actions.
• Connecting or reconnecting: the phone is restoring its connection. You can tap "Reconnect" manually.
• Offline: the account still knows this device, but new remote actions cannot run right now.

Remove a device

In the device list on your iPhone, tap "Remove" on the target device and confirm. Removal is more than hiding it: the target desktop signs out of the Klaus account, and the server-side device record is deleted. Local project and session files on that computer are not erased, so if you want to control it remotely again later, sign back in on the desktop and turn remote control back on.

Removing a device is the right move for a computer you no longer use, one that is lost, or one that should no longer have access to your account. If you only want to pause control from your phone, turn off the remote-control switch on that computer instead.
