After you download

Four commands to a paired iPhone.

  1. 1. ./bridge doctor — optional preflight; flags ports in use, bad paths, missing deps.
  2. 2. ./bridge init — the wizard asks for your library path, a name, and a listen address.
  3. 3. Open the admin console at http://127.0.0.1:7789/ and wait for the first scan.
  4. 4. In the 1-bit app, tap Add 1-bit Bridge → Discover, then approve the device.
