Put Yardmaster on your phone

You can answer your agents from your phone. Yardmaster is not in the App Store or Google Play: your phone opens it straight from your computer, and you can then add it to your home screen so it opens like any other app.

Open Yardmaster on your phone#

Your phone and your computer need to be on the same Wi-Fi network for this part.

1. 1

   On your computer, click the phone button (Mobile Access) in the toolbar at the top of the window.

2. 2

   Click Enable & Show QR. A QR code appears.

3. 3

   Point your phone's camera at the QR code and tap the link that pops up.

4. 4

   Yardmaster opens in your phone's browser.

Add it to your home screen#

With Yardmaster open in your phone's browser, save it as an app. The words on these buttons come from your phone, so they can differ a little between phones.

The Yardmaster icon now opens the app full screen, with no address bar.

Use it away from home#

Out of Wi-Fi range, the phone app needs Tailscale, a free app for secure connections. On your computer, click Mobile Access in the toolbar again. In the Scan to Connect panel that opens, click Install Tailscale, sign in to Tailscale, then click Enable next to Access from anywhere. Mobile access has the full steps and fixes for common problems.

Keep it upright#

If you would rather the app stays upright when you turn your phone, turn on Lock to portrait on mobile in Settings > Sessions. It is off until you turn it on.
