No servers on iPhone

• The iPhone app works together with the Mac app: download ServerKiln for Mac first, then enable servers in Settings → iPhone.
• Make sure the Mac and iPhone use the same Apple ID, with iCloud Keychain and iCloud Drive on both.
• Pull down on the overview to sync again. With no servers yet, tap “Try Demo” to look around.

iPhone shows “Relay”

iPhone can't reach this server directly (it's on a LAN or VPN), so it shows what your Mac sees, updated about once a minute. Once iPhone is on the same network or VPN it switches back to direct.

“Host key changed”

The server's SSH host key doesn't match the one pinned when it was enabled, so iPhone refuses to connect. If you know the server was reinstalled or rekeyed, rotate its keys in Settings → iPhone on the Mac.

The Mac app can't connect

ServerKiln uses the system ssh and needs passwordless login (key or ssh-agent). Check that ssh <host alias> logs in without a password in Terminal. GPU details need nvidia-smi on the server.
