Get started with Hands
Your Hand has a full desktop on its own computer. Start it with one click in your browser, on your laptop or your phone. You choose how it looks, and you work in the same folder as your Hand.
How you start your Hand’s computer: in the console a small computer takes a Hands floppy, the screen turns on and opens the desktop. Each time in a different layout.
Used to Windows or a Mac? Pick the layout you know, or Touch with large buttons for your phone. Your choice is remembered on each device.
The desktop works in the same folder as your Hand, your terminal and Files. Let your Hand draft something, open it on your desktop and polish it yourself. What you save is ready for its next task.
Example: you ask your Hand for a first draft of the November newsletter. Your Hand puts the file in your workspace. On the desktop you see the new file in Files and open it in the Text Editor to work on it yourself.
You don't need to configure your own laptop first. Ask your Hand to install and use the software and tools needed in its own workspace. Open the desktop to follow along or work in the same files through the terminal.
“Install the tools for this project on your computer, open the app and show me the result.”
Installation happens in your Hand’s isolated environment, not on your own laptop.
Explore the terminal and code editor →On your phone your computer starts in Touch by default: large buttons and a navigation bar at the bottom, the way you’re used to. One tap puts it in full screen.
Your Hand’s desktop in the Touch layout on a phone, with a navigation bar at the bottom.
Close the tab and your computer keeps running. Your apps and files stay on your Hand.
The desktop adapts to the size of your window, from a large monitor to your phone.
One click and your desktop fills your whole screen. On your phone too.
The desktop runs on your Hand’s shielded computer: separate from your own devices and without access to your sign-in details.
