One step before the first open

The Preview isn’t notarised yet: it’s with Apple for review, and they’re taking their time. Until it’s through, macOS blocks it the first time. Clearing that takes a few seconds, once.

  1. Open the downloaded file and drag TurnPanel onto Applications.
  2. Open Terminal and run this:
    Terminal
    $ xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/TurnPanel.app
  3. Open TurnPanel from Applications as usual.

Rather not use Terminal? Try to open TurnPanel once, then go to System Settings, Privacy & Security, and choose Open Anyway.

Remote Access

Use TurnPanel from another device while the main computer continues to run it.

Enable Web access

Turn on Web access in Gateway. It shows the local address, optional network address, connected browsers, password status, and any startup error. If it says enabled but not running, TurnPanel could not open the selected port and is retrying.

Pair a browser

On the new device, enter the Web access password and confirm the changing emoji shown on the main computer. The main computer must approve the request and can remove that browser later.

Pairing requires the Web access password and the emoji shown on the main computer.

Boundaries

  • Factory reset must be done on the main computer. MCP sign-in works from a browser; for some servers it asks you to paste back the address you land on.
  • Voice Mode on another device needs the secure HTTPS Tunnel. It cannot use ordinary LAN HTTP.
  • To connect from outside your local network, use TurnPanel Tunnel. Do not expose the local Web access port directly to the internet.

Troubleshooting

If connection fails, check the server status, startup error, port, LAN access switch, password, and current emoji. Pair again if the browser session expired or was removed. Too many failed attempts cause a temporary delay.

Run it on a Linux server

A headless build keeps TurnPanel running on a Linux machine as a background service, reached from any browser signed in to your TurnPanel account.
