Two Connection Methods

🏠 Local Network (Home/Office)

When your phone or tablet shares the same WiFi network as your Kantivo machine, simply enter the local IP address. Connection is immediate with zero configuration.

🌍 Remote Access (Tailscale)

Install the free Tailscale utility on your devices and reach Kantivo from any location - a coffee shop, a client's office, or while traveling. Connections are fully encrypted.

Add to Home Screen (PWA)

Pin Kantivo to your device's home screen for an experience that looks and feels like a native application. It launches in its own window and behaves like a dedicated app.

🍎 iPhone/iPad

In Safari, tap Share and then "Add to Home Screen." A Kantivo icon appears alongside your other apps.

🤖 Android

In Chrome, open the menu and select "Add to Home screen." Kantivo launches full-screen without the browser toolbar.

Common Questions

Do I need a separate mobile app?

No. Open any web browser on your device and navigate to your Kantivo address. The only optional download is Tailscale (free) for accessing Kantivo when you are away from your local network.

Is the connection secure?

Yes. Connections through Tailscale are encrypted end-to-end. On your local network, traffic stays within your own infrastructure.

Does my main computer need to be running?

Yes. Your primary machine must be powered on and running Kantivo for other devices to connect. Leaving it active during business hours ensures uninterrupted access.

Can several people use it at the same time?

Yes. Multiple team members can work in Kantivo simultaneously from different devices. Each person authenticates with their own credentials.
