## What is OpenCode Cloud Link?

It is an independent desktop and headless connector that publishes the
OpenCode server on your machine to OpenCode Mobile and remote browsers over an
authenticated Cloudflare Tunnel.

## Do I need OpenCode Mobile?

Yes. The subscription, store purchase, and phone pairing flow live in OpenCode
Mobile. A remote browser can use the machine after pairing, but it does not
replace the app.

## Do I need a Cloudflare account?

No. Cloud Link provisions and supervises a managed named tunnel, including DNS
and TLS. You do not configure a tunnel or create a Cloudflare account.

## Which platforms are supported?

macOS 15 or newer on Apple silicon and Intel, Windows x64, and headless Linux
on x64 or ARM64. Windows ARM64 and Linux `armv7` are not supported.

## How much does it cost?

€2.99 per month, purchased as an auto-renewing subscription in OpenCode Mobile
through the App Store or Google Play. This website does not bill you.

## Where does my code and data go?

They stay on your machine. The control plane stores connection metadata, not
prompts, responses, source, terminal output, file contents, or provider
credentials. Cloudflare terminates TLS at its edge while proxying traffic.

## Does Cloud Link work with OpenCode's built-in remote access?

Yes. It runs alongside `opencode pair --remote` and can adopt an existing
trusted loopback server. Cloud Link adds approval-gated pairing, per-device
credentials, a stable address, remote browser access, and local service
exposure.

## Can I reach other local apps, not just OpenCode?

Yes. Publish a loopback service by path or port through the same tunnel.
Services are disabled and private by default and use an origin separate from
OpenCode. See [Exposed services](/docs/exposed-services/).

## What if my phone is lost?

Device credentials expire, and you can regenerate the browser password to sign
out remote browsers. Delete the machine in OpenCode Mobile to retire its tunnel
and DNS record. Per-device revocation is not implemented.

## Can I run it on a headless server?

Yes. Use the Linux x64 or ARM64 archive, pair once in the foreground, and
optionally enable the systemd user service. No graphical session is required.

## Is Cloud Link open source?

No. Cloud Link is a closed-source commercial connector. OpenCode itself is open
source at [opencode.ai](https://opencode.ai/).

## Does Cloud Link update automatically?

No. Download the current release and install it over the existing version.
Pairing state and settings normally survive. See
[Releases and updates](/docs/releases/).

## What happens when my subscription expires?

New access is suspended. After terminal expiry or revocation, Cloud Link retires
the machine's tunnel and DNS record. Restoring the purchase recovers the same
account, but a retired machine needs fresh pairing.

## Does Cloud Link work in direct APK or web builds?

The Cloud Link subscription and machine-management surfaces are available only
in App Store and Google Play installs. Existing connection profiles may still
work in other builds, but those surfaces are hidden.

## Where can I get help?

privacy requests, use the
