Answer your agents from your phone
Open Yardmaster on your phone, on your Wi-Fi or from anywhere, and see who is connected.
Mobile Access lets you use Yardmaster from your phone's or tablet's web browser: read what your agents wrote, reply, answer questions and clear your Inbox. Your computer does the work; the phone is a window onto it.
Install on your phone covers the first connection over Wi-Fi and how to add Yardmaster to your home screen. This page covers using it away from home and keeping it under control.
Reach Yardmaster from anywhere#
On your own Wi-Fi, your phone talks to your computer directly. Out of range, Yardmaster uses Tailscale, a free app that gives your computer a web address you can reach from anywhere.
On your computer, click Mobile Access (the phone button) in the toolbar.
If Tailscale is not installed, click Install Tailscale. On Windows, approve the one prompt that appears.
Click Sign in to Tailscale and sign in or create a free account.
Click Enable next to Access from anywhere. It changes to Reachable from anywhere.
The first time, Tailscale may need your OK: the panel shows Approve Funnel in Tailscale, then Enable. Click it, approve on the Tailscale page, then click Enable again.
See and disconnect your devices#
The Mobile Access panel shows how many devices are connected. Click Disconnect All to drop every phone and browser at once. To turn off reaching Yardmaster from anywhere, click Disable next to Reachable from anywhere.
The same switches, your address and the access token are also in Settings > Mobile Access.
Pair a device without the camera#
Under the QR code, the panel also shows Address (for manual pairing) and Access token (for manual pairing), each with a copy button, so you can enter them on a device by hand.
The QR code does not open on my phone. The phone must be on the same Wi-Fi as the computer, unless Access from anywhere is on.
The panel says Tailscale is offline. Check the computer's internet connection, then open the panel again.
The token expired. A token unused for 30 days stops working. Click Regenerate in Settings > Mobile Access and pair your phone again.
My phone does not notify me. Turn on phone notifications: see Choose how Yardmaster gets your attention.
