Step 1 of 3
Pair with a PIN
Enter the PIN displayed on the satellite machine. That's it — no accounts, no cloud service, no configuration files.
Annex connects two Clubhouse instances over your local network. Peer-to-peer, end-to-end encrypted, zero cloud dependency.
Enter the PIN displayed on the satellite machine. That's it — no accounts, no cloud service, no configuration files.
Create, wake, kill, and monitor agents on a remote machine. Assign work across your network without switching desks.
Full PTY access to the satellite machine. Run commands, watch output, interact with agents — as if you were sitting in front of it.
Your Canvas workspace syncs across both instances. See remote agents, their wires, and their widgets on your local canvas.
Plugins work across Annex connections. Your local plugins interact with remote machines — browsing remote files, running remote tools, extending the remote instance.
Configuration changes propagate. Update a permission or tool setting once, it applies everywhere.
When an agent needs permission on a remote machine, you get an instant prompt on your phone. Approve or deny from anywhere — no need to be at your desk.
Your dev machine runs the IDE. The build server runs the agents. Annex bridges them — full terminal access, live agent monitoring, no SSH tunnel juggling.
Spread agents across machines for more parallel throughput. Control them all from your primary Clubhouse instance. Each machine runs independently — Annex just gives you the view.
A colleague shares their Clubhouse instance with you via PIN. You see their Canvas, steer their agents, run commands on their machine. When you're done, disconnect. No permanent access granted.
PIN-based pairing ensures you control who connects. Ed25519 key exchange and mutual TLS 1.3 encrypt everything end-to-end. Traffic stays on your local network — nothing touches the cloud. Connection drops are handled automatically — Annex reconnects and replays missed events without manual intervention.
Annex works over any network — pair with Tailscale, WireGuard, or any VPN and your machines connect as if they're local. Nothing routes through our servers. No telemetry, no accounts, no cloud. Open source and auditable if you want to verify it yourself.
Connect two machines in under 30 seconds.
