From Account download (or power-on) to your first Crypto Chat message.

Numbered flow from powering on brain, connecting iPhone to same Wi-Fi, opening app, finding Sovereign, to sending a test message
Most people complete setup in about fifteen minutes.

Steps

  1. Sign in to your Account with a magic link (no password).
  2. Install Brain — Download and install (Smooth Transfer), or power on a physical appliance and follow Brain setup.
  3. Activate your license with the activation code from your advisor (Brain Settings → License).
  4. Connect your iPhone to the same Wi‑Fi as the brain (or use Tailscale).
  5. Open Sovereign Remote → complete welcome screens if shown.
  6. Go to You → Your link → Find my Sovereign → tap your Sovereign when it appears.
  7. Approve your iPhone on the brain if prompted — see Approve your iPhone. The pairing security code is not your license activation code.
  8. Go to You → How Your Sovereign Thinks → choose a thinking service or confirm one is active.
  9. Open Chat and send a short test message.

If anything fails, note whether the problem is Account / license, link, or thinking and open the matching article.

Tip

Keep the app screen open while linking. Closing it too soon can interrupt the connection.
