Keep the Mac and iPhone on the same local network, with Fenn running on your Mac.

Take a photo, scan a document, or record audio in Fenn Capture, then send it to the paired Mac.

Received files appear in Fenn’s capture inbox and are prepared for search. Wait for processing before looking for content inside a new capture.

Try a distinctive word from a receipt with Semantic, or words from an audio transcript with Keyword when transcription is available.

Check that both devices are on the same network, the Mac is awake, and Mobile Sync is enabled. Follow any local-network permission prompt on the iPhone.

Return to the pairing screen and refresh its QR code if the connection needs to be set up again. Guest or isolated networks may prevent devices from reaching each other.
