Pair a computer

Pairing links your computer to the phone with a key, once. There are no passwords, and only paired computers can deploy.

Pair

Open Dukoi on the phone, then run this on a computer on the same Wi-Fi:

$ npx dukoi pair

Looking for phones on this Wi-Fi…
✓ Found a024 (Nothing A024, Android 16) at 192.168.0.112

  Code on your phone: 482 913
  Tap Approve on the phone if the codes match.

✓ Paired with a024

  Next: dukoi deploy in your app's folder

Check that the code on the phone matches the one in your terminal, then tap Approve. The matching code proves you’re talking to your phone and nobody else’s. If nobody approves within 2 minutes, run pair again.

If it can’t find the phone

Check Dukoi is open on the phone and both are on the same Wi-Fi. Some routers block devices from finding each other. If yours does, pass the phone’s address. You’ll find it in the app.

$ npx dukoi pair --host 192.168.0.112

More than one phone

Pair each phone the same way. Commands use the last phone you used, and --device picks another.

$ npx dukoi devices

   NAME       MODEL           ADDRESS              PAIRED
●  a024       Nothing A024    192.168.0.112:7070   2026-11-11
   pixel-6    Pixel 6         192.168.0.140:7070   2026-11-10

To name a phone yourself, pair with --name kitchen.

Unpair

dukoi unpair a024 forgets the phone on this computer and asks the phone to forget the computer too.
