Add a server

  1. Open OpenBoth and tap Add a Server.
  2. Type your server's address, for example chat.example.com or 192.168.1.20:3000. You can leave out https://: the app tries a secure connection first.
  3. For Open WebUI, sign in with the email and password you use on the web. For OpenCode, type the server's password, or paste a pairing link made with opencode pair on the computer that runs it.
  • The OpenBoth start screen on iPhone, with the Add a Server button.
  • Add a Server: the Server field with an address typed in, and a Continue button.
  • Signing in to an Open WebUI server: the server's name and version, the email field and a Sign In button.
  • Connecting to an OpenCode server: the Server password field and a Connect button.

To add another server later, open the chat list, tap the servers button at the top, then Add a Server.

"This device doesn't trust the certificate"

Your server uses a certificate from your own certificate authority, and this iPhone or iPad does not trust that authority yet. Install the authority's certificate on the device, then switch it on under Settings > General > About > Certificate Trust Settings. OpenBoth uses the device's own trust and has no switch to skip the check.

Add a Server with the message that this device doesn't trust the server's certificate, and what to do about it.

"OpenBoth would like to find devices on your local network"

iOS asks this the first time the app reaches a server on your home or office network. Choose Allow. If you chose Don't Allow, switch it on under Settings > Privacy & Security > Local Network.

Sign-in stopped working

If the app says your sign-in is no longer valid, tap Sign In Again. Your server stays in the list. This happens when the session was ended on the server, the password changed, or an OpenCode pairing token expired.

Signed Out: the sign-in for Open WebUI is no longer valid, with a Sign In Again button.

Which server versions work

Open WebUI 0.13 or later. OpenCode 2. The app checks when it connects and says so if a server is older.

Remove a server

Open the servers list, swipe the server to the left and tap Remove. The app forgets its sign-in. Nothing on the server is deleted.

The Servers list: one Open WebUI server with its version and address, Add a Server, and About OpenBoth.

What the app sends, and where

Only to the servers you add. Nothing goes to us. The privacy policy has the details.
