# Quickstart

## Fastest path

1. Install OpenCode.
2. Install OpenChamber CLI.
3. Run `openchamber --ui-password be-creative-here`.
4. Open the web UI on your machine.
5. If needed, start a tunnel and scan the QR code from your phone.

Use a strong UI password, especially if you plan to expose the instance remotely.

## Which surface should I use?

- use **desktop** for macOS-heavy daily driver workflows
- use **web** for remote access and mobile review
- use **VS Code** for editor-native sessions beside code
