Compute Mesh

Have OIOXO open on more than one device — your laptop and your phone, say? Put them on the same Wi-Fi and add a device to let them build together. The lighter device borrows the stronger one’s power, so builds finish faster — and the work your devices do for each other lifts your free limit.

Tip

Nothing leaves your devices. They talk to each other directly over your own Wi-Fi — your code never goes to a server to make this work.

What it’s for

A faster build on a weaker device. Your phone borrows your laptop’s power instead of working alone.
More free building. Every bit of work one device does for another adds to your usage allowance.
Your own devices, working as one. No accounts to invite, no setup — just devices you’re already signed in to.

Add a device

You’ll do this once, and it takes a few seconds. Make sure both devices are signed in to the same OIOXO account and on the same Wi-Fi.

On the first device, open Settings → Devices & Compute Mesh (or tap Add a device in the build panel) and choose Show a code.
On the second device, choose Scan a code and point its camera at the first device’s screen.
The first device scans the short reply the second one shows back — and they’re connected.

You’ll see “{your device} joined — building together.” From then on, while both are open on the same Wi-Fi, they share the work automatically. You don’t have to do anything else.

Note

Can’t scan? Every code can be copied and pasted instead — handy when the two screens are awkward to point at each other.

What you’ll notice

Builds on the lighter device get quicker when a stronger device is helping.
Your usage meter shows the extra allowance your devices earned for each other.
The build log says when a device joins or leaves.

If a device drops off

Nothing breaks. If a helper device leaves — it sleeps, walks out of Wi-Fi range, or you close it — the build simply keeps going on whatever’s still here. If the device that started the session leaves, another one you’ve added picks up where it left off. You never lose work.

Is it safe?

Yes. Only devices signed in to your account, on the same Wi-Fi, can join — a stranger on the network can’t. A helper device only ever suggests code; every change is still checked and run on your device before it’s kept, exactly as a normal build. And it stays true to OIOXO’s promise: your project moves between your own devices directly, never through a server.

Tip

Model access is always free — Compute Mesh just makes your time go further by pooling the devices you already own. See Plans & usage.
