# 2 new ways to use goose
We're excited to announce two new ways to interact with goose: a <a href="https://apps.apple.com/au/app/goose-ai/id6752889295">native iOS app</a> for mobile access and native terminal integration. Both give you more flexibility in how and where you use your AI agent.

2. **Enable remote access** - In the goose desktop app, go to App Settings and turn on "Remote Access"
3. **Scan the QR code** - Use the iOS app to scan the QR code displayed in your desktop app
4. **Start working** - You're connected! Your mobile app now tunnels to your goose desktop instance
See the [Mobile Access guide](/docs/experimental/mobile-access) for detailed steps.
This means you get the full power of your desktop goose setup—all your extensions and configurations—accessible from your phone. Whether you're on the train, grabbing coffee, or just away from your desk, you can still ask goose to help with tasks or check on long-running things. Throw an idea out there for it to go to work on and pick it up later.
The goose iOS app also runs natively on macOS (Apple Silicon Macs), giving you another lightweight option for accessing your goose instance from another device.

Mobile access lets you connect to goose remotely from an iOS mobile device using secure tunneling.
:::warning Experimental Feature
Mobile access is a preview feature in active development. Behavior and configuration may change in future releases.
:::
## How Mobile Access Works
Mobile access connects your iOS device to goose Desktop through a secure tunnel. After you install and configure the **goose AI** app, you can access goose from anywhere.
**Key details:**
- Uses [Lapstone](https://github.com/michaelneale/lapstone-tunnel), a public HTTPS tunnel service provided by Mic Neale
- Easy setup using a QR code with a unique secret key to secure the connection
- Your tunnel URL remains the same across sessions, so you only need to configure your mobile app once
- The connection requires your computer to be awake with goose Desktop running
- Automatically reconnects if interrupted and restarts when you launch goose Desktop
## Setup
### Install the App
1. Install the **goose AI** app on your iOS mobile device from the [App Store](https://apps.apple.com/app/goose-ai/id6752889295)
:::tip App Store QR Code
Follow the steps below to open the `Remote Access` section, then click "scan QR code" in the info box for quick access to the App Store.

3. Click `Settings` in the sidebar
4. Click `App`
5. Scroll down to the `Remote Access` section and click `Start Tunnel`

:::info
Click `Stop Tunnel` at any time to close the connection.
:::
### Connect the App
1. Open the **goose AI** app on your iOS mobile device
2. Scan the `Remote Access Connection` QR code displayed in goose Desktop
3. The app will automatically configure the connection
You can now access goose Desktop from your mobile device.
