Roadmap

  • Hub software and downloads: the PocketShare hub for Raspberry Pi OS, Debian and Ubuntu, installed with one command and enrolled with a one-time code, and a Windows installer. Downloads are signed, and the installer checks the signature before it installs anything. See Set up your hub.
  • The phone agent: a small agent the hub installs on each phone, showing its status and a Stop hosting button.
  • Rentals through PocketShare: the relay that connects renters to your phones, ends access on time and meters usage, and the cleanup that wipes and checks each phone between rentals.
  • Your host dashboard: add hubs, see each phone’s status and health, set hourly prices, pause phones and follow your earnings, with emails when a phone goes offline, overheats or fails cleanup. See Use the dashboard.
  • Phones on Wi-Fi: connect a phone with Android’s wireless debugging instead of USB, so it charges from a normal charger.
  • Payouts: paid rentals, your share of phone-time charges, and payouts through Stripe.
  • Wider availability: more hosts and developers once the protections and payments have proven themselves.
