What you need

What happens next

Install

Run the installer. It asks nothing but where to put Josi, then opens it.

Set up

Make your account, save your recovery key, sign in to your AI. Josi checks that it answers before you continue.

Add your devices

Your phone, your browser, your other computers and your people, each from inside Josi, each when you want it.

Use Josi from your other devices

These connect to the Josi you installed above. They are not a second Josi.

Your phone

The Josi CE app, or Josi's address in the phone's browser. Josi shows you the address and a code to scan under Add › Phone.

Your browser

The Josi extension lets Josi read and use one tab you choose, through the Josi app on the same computer. It comes with the Windows and Mac apps; the Chrome, Edge and Firefox store listings follow.

Another computer

A second PC or Mac can run the same app and choose "I already have a Josi server". Everyone in the house or office can have their own account on the one server.
