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:
  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:
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.
