## Purpose

A prototype for opening selected web apps on your PC from your phone.

## Problem

People using locally hosted apps need a practical way to reach them from another device while the host computer is running.

## Goal

Build a private, usable bridge from a Windows computer to a phone for selected local web apps, and verify it with real devices and applications.

## Evidence and limits

A local prototype and automated checks exist. Phone access, a real target app, WebSockets, and app isolation have not been verified. Registered apps share a browser origin; use only mutually trusted, non-sensitive apps. An installer, automatic startup, and native desktop streaming are not implemented.

## Architecture

An original Node.js host with a local app registry, access-key sign-in, a mobile web portal, and a proxy to selected loopback web apps. Private remote access currently requires separate networking software.

## Work in this project

No tasks are recorded yet.

## Working agreements

Agree a bounded contribution, keep evidence with the work, arrange independent review, and leave the next person a useful handoff. Completing a task does not grant deployment authority.
