burner

Give your AI assistant a physical side phone.

burner runs on your real phone, with real apps, real bluetooth and your real
home connection.

It lets your AI assistant use a spare Android phone that sits in a drawer at
home, so it can use the apps you use.

Use my burner to…

Get started

Paste this to your AI assistant:

Set up burner for me. Read the guide at https://useburner.si/skill.md and do everything in it. Walk me through the parts that need me.

Your AI assistant reads the guide and walks you through the rest. Setup takes
about 10 minutes, once, and any spare Android phone works (iPhone soon). After
that, plug the phone in, leave it in a drawer, and never touch it again.

Questions

Why would I want this?

so it can use the apps you use, and apps and websites don't think you're in
another country.

What do I need?
A spare Android phone (iPhone soon), a free Tailscale account and 10 minutes.
That's it. For now, burner works with Muse as your AI assistant.

Do I need to pay or sign up?

wherever you are.

Is my stuff private?
Yes. It runs on your o
