theBRAIN control app

The remote for your physical brain: sign in with Scooling, pair once, talk, lights, sensors, model choice, safety โ€” and allowlisted tools. This page is an honest feature tour of what ships in the open-source app package today.

Pairing

QR / 6-digit; revoke; factory reset

Sensors & audio

Mic/PTT, camera default-off, speaker, dual-cam, activity history

Works locally now โ€” On-device activity log + quiet hours; real cameras need Pi hardware.

What still needs siblings

Retail Scooling sign-in, live Phase 8B device registry, and Scooling Devices embed are control-plane work (asks SC-BRAIN-AUTH / PAIR / EMBED). Lab custom GGUF and live Tools grants are E4. Physical camera/LED/mic proof is the E3c Pi smoke.
