Do I need Connection?
Not if your phone and computers can already reach each other: the same Wi-Fi, an office network, or Tailscale. Connection is for everywhere else, such as checking on agents at home from a café or from your phone on cellular, and for phone alerts, which need a server to reach your phone.
What can the relay see?
Which of your devices are connected, when, and how many encrypted bytes pass. Never your terminals, prompts, code or project names: the encryption runs between your own devices, and each one checks the other’s key.
What is in a backup?
Your workspaces and their layout, which conversation each pane resumes, your settings and preset launchers. Never API keys, SSH keys or tokens: those are left out before anything is encrypted. Terminal history and transcripts stay on your computers.
Can you read my backup?
No. It is encrypted on your computer with a key that never reaches us, and we store only the locked file and its size. Your other paired computers receive the key when you pair them. Keep the recovery key Acheron shows you: without it and without another paired computer, nobody can restore the backup, including us.
What happens if I cancel?
Connecting from anywhere, phone alerts and online backup stop at the end of the paid period. Everything else keeps working: the app, your agents and their sessions, the backups it keeps on your computer, and connecting on your own network or VPN.
Do agents run on your servers?
No. Agents, terminal history, projects and conversations stay on your computers. Acheron does not resell model usage; you keep your Claude, Codex or other subscriptions.
How many computers and phones?
Up to 10 in total, for one person. Every one of them can reach the others.
When does it open?
After a small paid beta. Early-access sign-ups hear first, and the price may change before then.
