Agent Approve

Monitor AI coding agents and approve commands from your iPhone or Apple Watch. Go out and enjoy life while your agents stay busy. We'll ping you.

AI coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Gemini can write code, refactor files, run tests, and execute shell commands autonomously. But when they hit a permission boundary -- something sensitive that requires human approval -- they stop and wait. And so do you.

Agent Approve fixes this. When your agent needs approval, you get a push notification on your phone or watch. You see the command, tap to approve or deny, and your agent keeps working. When it finishes a task, you get notified and can issue a follow-up with voice input.

Set your policies, configure your privacy level, and let your agents run. We'll find you when they need you.
