Desktop features
Lom's window has three columns: navigation and your task list on the left, the conversation in the middle, and the workspace on the right. This page goes through each feature.
The interface
| Where | What it does |
|---|---|
| Computer / Phone at the top left | Choose between working on the computer and managing a particular phone (its sessions, skills, persona, memory and schedules). The + beside it pairs a new phone. |
| New task | Starts a new task (⌘N). |
| Scheduled tasks | Tasks that run automatically on a schedule. |
| skillhub | The skill marketplace: browse, install and upload skills. |
| OPC teams OPC团队 | Agents on your phones and your computer working as a team; see OPC teams. |
| Recent tasks | Your task history; search with ⌘K. |
| Workspace on the right | Preview shows the web pages and documents being made, Files shows the work folder, and Phone shows a phone's live screen. |
| Agent switcher at the top left | Decides whether a new task goes to Lom or to another agent such as Codex CLI. |
Tasks and conversations
- Work folder: choose it above the input box. Lom only reads and writes files inside this folder.
- Attachments: click + at the bottom-left of the input box to add files or images, or just drag them in.
- Slash commands: type
/to open the command menu (MCP, skills and more); type@to mention a phone. - Stop: click the stop button where the send button was, or press
Esc.
Permissions
The shield button at the bottom-left of the input box sets what the commander may do on your computer (remote control of phones isn't limited by this setting):
| Level | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Ask each time | Asks you before running any command or changing any file. |
| Auto-edit files | Reads and writes files automatically; asks before running commands. |
| Full auto | Does everything automatically inside the chosen folder. |
| Read-only planning | Only reads and proposes a plan; changes nothing. |
Models
- Built-in models: Lom Pro (the commander's default), Lom Max (the strongest) and Lom Mini (the phone default, light on credits). Available once you sign in; billed in credits.
- Your own key: Settings → Models & credits → Add model. Choose a provider, enter the API address and key, search for a model name and mark whether it can read images. Lom tests the connection once when you save. Calls use no credits.
- Default model: Settings → Models & credits → Default model sets separate defaults for the commander and for phone agents.
- Images: Lom Pro and Max read images directly. Models that can't call an image tool that asks Lom Pro to look for them (billed in credits).
Directing phones
- On the new task page, tick the phones under Phones in this task. You can pick several.
- State the goal, for example "What screen is Phone 1 on right now?" or "Open Xiaohongshu and summarize today's comments for me."
- The commander reads the screen, taps, types and opens apps, or hands the whole job to the phone's agent, then reads back the real result to check it.
- When you stop the commander, the phone tasks it started stop too.
NoteTasks created before an upgrade don't have the phone tools; start a new task. The phone must be online with accessibility on; see Phone setup.
Live screen
Workspace on the right → Phone: pick a phone and turn on screen refresh. You can change quality (480 / 720 / 1080), go full screen, pause, or save the current screenshot. The picture refreshes about once per second from screenshots; it isn't a video stream. On mobile data, turn on the data saver under Settings → Phones & connections.
Other agents
- Settings → Agents lists the agents found on your computer (Codex CLI, Claude Code, Kimi, Pi, CodeBuddy, Gemini CLI…). Testing a connection only starts the agent and shakes hands; it sends no conversation.
- Add the ones you use often to the switcher, and switch at the top left. You can also add a custom agent.
- A task given to one of them uses the model and sign-in configured in its own CLI and spends no Lom credits. The bottom-right of the input box shows its current model; click to change it. Some CLIs apply the change from the next turn, and Lom tells you when that happens.
- External agents can't direct phones themselves; to work with phones, use an OPC team.
SkillHub and credits
- Discover: search or browse by category, and read each skill's description and file list. Official Lom skills are listed first.
- Install: on the detail page, choose to install on the computer or on an online phone. A paid skill first tells you it needs N credits, and the button reads "Pay N credits and install". Skills you've bought can be reinstalled any time. Packages are checked against their SHA-256 before installing, and scripts inside a skill never run automatically.
- Upload: submit a zip (it must contain SKILL.md, up to 10 MB). It goes live after review. You can upload new versions, see review results and report problem skills.
- Installed: view and uninstall the skills on your computer. A phone's skills are managed after switching to that phone on the left (enable, disable, uninstall).
Scheduled tasks
Scheduled tasks on the left → new: give it a name, what to do, who runs it (the commander or a specific phone) and when it repeats. A phone's scheduled tasks are stored and run on the phone itself. Use Run now 立即运行 to try one, and check the result of every run.
