Get approvals on your phone

The Ponta app runs in your phone's web browser, so you do not need an app store. It works on Android, and on iPhone with iOS 16.4 or later.

Link a phone

1. On the phone, open mcp.ponta.ai/app. On Android, use Chrome. On iPhone, open it in Safari and add it to your Home Screen from the Share menu. Then open it from there.
2. Follow the steps in the app. It shows a code.
3. On any device where you are signed in, go to https://mcp.ponta.ai/pair and type the code.
4. Check the details, name the phone and choose Link this phone.
5. The app finishes within a few seconds and sends itself a test notification.

You can link up to 5 phones.

Answer on your phone

• The notification says what is asked, how much care it deserves, and why.
• On Android, you can deny straight from the notification. On iPhone, tapping it opens the request in the app.
• To approve, open the app. Approve is never on the notification, because its buttons work on a locked screen.

See what happened

In the app, open History. It lists the last 7 days of requests, newest first. This includes requests answered on a PC, and those allowed automatically.

Each one says what happened and where it was answered. For a step that ran, it also says whether it finished.

Add a fingerprint or face check

In the app, choose Set up fingerprint or face. From then on, the app asks for your fingerprint, face or screen lock each time it opens. Until the app locks, you can approve without being asked again.

The app locks when you close it, after 15 minutes with no taps, or after 2 minutes in the background. Denying never needs the check.

A phone with no fingerprint, face or screen lock still works. The app tells you so.
