Quickstart

• An RC account. The OhRats-managed service supports public passkey signup.
• A passkey-capable browser for account creation and sensitive approvals.
• A Linux, macOS, or Windows AMD64 machine to enroll.

1. Open Create account.
2. Choose your RC user name.
3. Create a passkey when the browser asks.

The passkey is the account credential. RC does not use account passwords. Every new account receives its own Personal workspace; invitation signup also joins the invited workspace.

1. Sign in and open Devices.
2. Choose Enroll device and select a workspace you own and the target platform: Linux / macOS or Windows (PowerShell).
3. Choose Create enrollment commands.
4. Copy the new-install command, or the already-installed command if RC is present. Run it in a terminal on Linux/macOS or in PowerShell on Windows.

The generated command contains a one-time enrollment token. It downloads and checksum-verifies the current GitHub Release, enrolls the machine, and installs a per-user background service.

The service is a LaunchAgent on macOS, a user systemd service on supported Linux systems, and a per-user Task Scheduler task on Windows. The Windows user must remain logged in for the Node to run. Linux/macOS use install.sh; Windows uses install.ps1.

On Windows, use the installed executable directly if it is not on your PATH:

The command shows local enrollment and the hosted device state. The Devices page should show the same machine as online.

You can open a terminal from the device page in the browser, or use the CLI:

login opens RC for passkey approval. The resulting CLI authorization defaults to until revoked.

For standard OpenSSH tooling, register a public key with rc ssh-key add and add the output of rc ssh-config to your SSH config.

• Authentication covers passkeys, CLI sessions, API keys, and MCP OAuth.
• CLI, MCP, and API contain interface-specific reference material.
