TTerse

Terse on your phone.

The same live wallpaper your Mac runs, driven by your agents — plus rooms, the plaza and friends. It installs from this page. There is no App Store download and no waiting for review.

Open Terse How to install it

Install it

iPhone · Safari

  1. Open this page in SafariChrome and in-app browsers on iPhone cannot install web apps — only Safari can.
    Safari's address bar showing terseai.org terseai.org
    Safari looks like this — one address bar, no tabs strip.
  2. Tap Share, then “Add to Home Screen”The Share button is the square with the arrow, at the bottom of the screen.

    This one — in the middle of the bottom bar.
    The share sheet, with Add to Home Screen circled Copy Add to Home Screen
    Then this row in the sheet that slides up.
  3. Open Terse from your Home ScreenIt opens with no browser chrome, keeps you signed in, and can send notifications — none of which work from a Safari tab.
    The Terse icon on the Home Screen T Terse
    It sits with your other apps, and opens full screen.

Android

Download the Android app and open the file to install it. The app adds what a web page can't: a real live wallpaper and the Terse keyboard.

Download the Android app

The first time, Android asks you to allow installs from your browser — tap Settings, allow it, then go back. Rather not install anything? Chrome's menu also offers “Install app” for the web version.

Link it to your computer

  1. Open Terse on your Mac or PCSettings → Link phone. It shows a QR code and a six-character code.
  2. Scan it with the Camera appPoint your iPhone's own camera at it and tap the link. You can also type the code into Terse under Me.
  3. The wallpaper comes aliveYour agents, their token burn and what they are doing now drive the field on your phone, live.
Don't want to link anything? You don't have to. Without a computer attached, Terse is still the particle wallpaper, the rooms, the plaza and your friends — the field simply runs calm instead of reacting to your agents.

What you get

The real wallpaper

Not a screenshot of it — the same engine, the same shaders, the same eight Pro styles, running on your phone's GPU.

Rooms & the plaza

Join by code or ask to join an open room. Everyone in it appears in your particle field.

Friends

Keep the people you meet in a room. No phone number, no address book, no account required for them.

One account

The same sign-in as the desktop app. Pro is Pro on every screen you own.
