Managing Machines

You can connect multiple machines to one Aexol account. Each machine keeps its own projects and sessions, so you can work from a desktop, laptop, or remote development environment without mixing local files.

Connecting a Machine

Start the agent service on the machine you want to use:

spectral serve

Sign in when prompted, then choose the machine from the browser's machine picker. The machine's display name normally comes from its hostname; rename it in the picker if you have more than one machine.

Online and Offline Status

A machine is online when its agent service is connected and ready for work. It is offline when the service stops or the connection is interrupted.

Offline machines remain visible in the picker, with their last active time, and reconnect automatically when the service is started again. If a machine will not connect, see Troubleshooting and check your network or VPN.

Machine Visibility

Use Private for a personal computer and Shared when teammates need to work with the machine. The default depends on how the machine was registered, and you can change visibility from the machine controls.

Machine Picker

The machine picker in the browser UI lists the machines available to you:

Select a machine to open its projects and sessions. To disconnect a machine permanently, remove or revoke it from the picker; its agent service will no longer be able to connect until it is registered again.

What Is Kept Separate

Projects, sessions, messages, and tool activity belong to the machine where they were created. Your account and team access are shared, but local files remain on the selected machine.
