How it works

  1. Run the installer on your Mac. It sets up the Brain as a LaunchAgent, generates a household master key (HMK), and prompts you for a remote-access path.
  2. Pick a connection path: Tailscale (recommended — free, ~3 clicks), Cloudflare Tunnel (needs a domain you own), or LAN-only.
  3. Paste the printed URL into HearthPilot on iOS → wizard → Advanced URL. The app derives its bearer token from the HMK after Sign in with Apple.

Inspect before you run

The installer is a plain bash script — read it before piping to sh:

curl -fsSL https://install.hearthpilot.com/mac | less

Or do a safe dry-run that logs every action without touching your disk:

curl -fsSL https://install.hearthpilot.com/mac | sh -s -- --dry-run
