Connect a machine and use ACC across devices

Enroll your execution machine

1. Install the ACC CLI on the computer or supported VPS that can access the project.
2. Install and authenticate the tools required for that project's chosen engine. ACC sign-in does not sign you in to an AI provider.
3. Run the checks, enroll the machine and start watching for assignments:

acc doctor
acc runner login
acc watch

Confirm the runner appears in Agents → Runners under the intended organization before assigning work.

Open ACC on laptop, tablet or phone

Use a web browser to open the ACC app, sign in and select your workspace. You can follow progress and respond to decisions while away from the execution machine. Some development activities are more comfortable on a larger screen.

Keep the execution host available

A sleeping laptop or offline VPS cannot continue receiving and running tasks. A phone opening ACC does not become a replacement execution host. For ongoing work, use an available dedicated computer or VPS with the required tools and repository access.

Disconnect a runner

acc runner logout

Review active work before disconnecting. Check runner status in ACC and revoke credentials through the available management controls when retiring a device. Do not assume stopping a browser tab stops background work.

Use tools installed on the execution machine

Agents can use command-line tools available through the connected machine’s terminal, alongside the supported execution engines. Build, test and deployment commands are examples; the named provider connections are not an exhaustive list of your possible CLI workflow. Each tool must be installed, authenticated and accessible with the required permissions. Execution depends on the chosen engine and machine environment. This does not mean every tool has a dedicated ACC interface or identical capabilities.

Broader direct tool integrations in ACC are planned for phase 2. No delivery date is promised. See the product status for current limitations.
