Devices

A device in CodeTeleport represents a machine you push or pull sessions from. Devices are tracked so you can filter sessions by source machine and so CodeTeleport can enforce plan limits.

Auto-detection

CodeTeleport detects your device name automatically from your machine’s hostname. The first time you push a session, the device is registered with your account.

$ hostname
Alices-Laptop.local

This becomes the device name shown in session listings and the dashboard. You do not need to configure anything.

Note

If you change your machine’s hostname, CodeTeleport will treat it as a new device on the next push. The old device name will remain in your account until you remove it.

Device limits

The number of devices you can use depends on your plan:

Plan	Device limit
Free	3 devices
Pro	Unlimited

If you hit the device limit, CodeTeleport will reject the push with a 403 error. You can free up a slot by removing an old device from the dashboard.

Managing devices

You can view and manage your registered devices at app.codeteleport.com under the Devices tab. From there you can:

• See all registered devices and when they were last active
• Remove devices you no longer use
• See which sessions were pushed from each device

Tip

If you are switching to a new laptop, push your sessions from the old machine first, then remove it from the dashboard to free up the device slot on the free plan.
