Your AI agent runs on a remote Linux server inside `tmux`. When it needs approval, the request reaches your Apple Watch instantly through the native app stack (bridge → iPhone app → watchOS app). If you configure Pushover, it can also notify as a fallback path. A single tap approves or denies, and your agent continues.

Supports Codex and Claude Code side-by-side, with two delivery paths:

  • Native iPhone + Apple Watch app — bridge approvals relayed to iPhone/watch, with local notifications when the app is backgrounded
  • Pushover notifications — optional fallback when native delivery isn't enough for your setup
