Step away from your Mac without losing control of your AI coding agents. Leash sends their commands, questions, and plans to your iPhone. Review the exact action, respond in a tap, and keep work moving wherever you are. • Approve or deny commands from the app or lock screen • See the command, project, and risk before it runs • Answer multiple-choice questions or send your own response • Review plans and approve them—or ask the agent to keep planning • Follow running sessions and steer them live • Check status from Apple Watch, widgets, and Siri shortcuts BUILT FOR CODING AGENTS Leash is built for Claude Code, with beta support for Codex, Cursor, Gemini, Qwen, OpenCode, and more. Supervise the agents running on your Mac from one place. LOCAL-FIRST AND PRIVATE Leash pairs with a free Mac companion app. There is no Leash account and no readable cloud copy of your work. On the same Wi-Fi, your devices connect directly over your local network. Away from Wi-Fi, an end-to-end encrypted relay carries ciphertext that the relay cannot read. FREE Receive encrypted notifications on any network. While on the same Wi-Fi, respond in Leash or through notification actions at no cost. LEASH PRO Unlock off-network responses and notification actions, Live Activities, and a live terminal mirror. Available as a monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription. Get the free Mac companion: https://adrianmcgee.github.io/leash/ Subscriptions are billed to your Apple ID and renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel them in your Apple ID settings.
