Connect Tenji to Desktop

Connect Tori Tenji to Your Desktop Server

Tori Tenji (the iOS/Android companion app) can connect to a Tori server running on your computer, so you can browse your library and stream from your phone.

1. Make sure your server is reachable on your network

By default Tori Denshi's embedded server binds to 127.0.0.1 (localhost only), which is not reachable from another device. To fix this:

1. Open your config file: ~/Library/Application Support/Tori/config.toml (macOS — path differs on Windows/Linux).
2. Under [server], set:

   host = '0.0.0.0'

3. Fully quit and reopen Tori Denshi so the change takes effect.

2. Find your computer's local IP address

• macOS: ipconfig getifaddr en0 in Terminal
• Windows: ipconfig in Command Prompt, look for "IPv4 Address"
• Linux: ip addr or hostname -I

3. Connect from Tori Tenji

Open the app on your phone, and on the server-setup screen enter:

http://<your-computer's-local-IP>:43211

Your phone and computer must be on the same Wi-Fi network for this to work.

Notes

• Only one Tori server process can bind to the port at a time — don't run a standalone tori binary alongside Tori Denshi, they'll conflict.
• Your computer's local IP can change (e.g. after reconnecting to Wi-Fi). If Tenji suddenly can't connect, re-check the IP and update it in the app.
• For a permanently reachable address (not tied to your home network), see Remote Access.

Optional: password-protect your server

If your server is reachable beyond just your own devices, set a password under Settings → General → Server Password so a token is required to connect.
