## What is Perch?

Perch requires the Perch macOS app. It is a companion, not a standalone app — without a Mac running Perch, there is nothing to show.

Perch watches every coding agent running on your Mac — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Devin and OpenCode — and tells you which ones are working, which are idle, and which are waiting on you.

SEE YOUR WHOLE FLEET
Every session across every project, with what it's doing and how long it's been doing it.

KNOW WHEN YOU'RE NEEDED
Notifications and Live Activities when an agent finishes or stops to ask a question — so you can leave your desk without losing the thread.

APPROVE FROM ANYWHERE
When an agent asks permission to run a command, approve or deny it from your phone or Apple Watch.

MADE FOR IPHONE DUO
On the inner display, your sessions and a conversation sit side by side. On the outer display, everything fits the narrower screen.

YOUR MAC TALKS TO YOUR PHONE DIRECTLY
Over your local network or Tailscale — no relay, no third-party server, no account. Your session data doesn't pass through anyone else's infrastructure.

Requires the free Perch app for macOS, available at perch.run.

Perch Pro is an auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and you can manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.30 — 2026-10-29

A warmer look. Perch now takes its colours from its icon, in light and dark mode, and Settings lets you choose Light, Dark or System.

Droid and Devin conversations open on your phone, as Claude Code's and Codex's do.

The fleet keeps its order as sessions update, a tap anywhere on a row opens its conversation, and quiet sections fold away.

Works best with Perch for Mac 0.5.137 or later.

### 1.0.27 — 2026-10-28

Conversations are easier to scan. A run of tool calls folds into one line, like "Read 2 files and ran a command", and each call says what it did. What the agent is doing now shows in a pill above the reply field, and Stop sits next to Send.

Muse sessions show Muse's own icon, and Stats includes Muse.

Works best with Perch for Mac 0.5.136 or later.

### 1.0.26 — 2026-10-28

Made for iPhone Duo. Unfold it and your sessions and a conversation sit side by side. Lists keep to a readable width on wide screens.

Tap a notification to open the conversation it is about.

Conversations are easier to follow. Each tool result folds into the call that made it, the header shows how long the agent has been working, and you can tap "Worked for…" to collapse a finished turn.

"Needs you" rows show how long they have been waiting. A rate-limited session is shown in yellow and says so. You get one alert per approval, not a banner on top of a sheet you already have open, and a tap you can feel when a request arrives and when your Mac confirms the answer.

Usage bars mark where even pace would be, so you can see if you are ahead of your limit.

Opening Perch shows your last fleet, dimmed, while it reconnects. Settings has a step-by-step connection check with Copy diagnostics.

Works best with Perch for Mac 0.5.135 or later.

### 1.0.25 — 2026-10-27

See work running in the background. When a Claude Code session has shells, monitors or agents running in the background, Perch now says how many: in the session list and the conversation on iPhone, and in a session's details on Apple Watch.

"Needs you" clears itself. When you answer a request on your Mac, the alert on your iPhone and the Live Activity now usually go away on their own, instead of staying until you open Perch.

Works best with Perch for Mac 0.5.133 or later.

### 1.0.24 — 2026-10-25

Approvals show the whole command. Your iPhone and Apple Watch used to show only the first line of a command, cut at 60 characters, so a command with several lines looked like just its first. Now you see all of it, for Claude Code, Codex and Devin. Hidden characters that could disguise a command are shown as codes.

No Allow on the lock screen for a command it can't show in full. Open Perch to read it and decide.

Apple Watch: an approval that arrives while you're writing a reply now shows on top of it, instead of waiting until you close Reply. Your draft is kept. Dismiss leaves the request for your Mac or iPhone.

Works best with Perch for Mac 0.5.127 or later.
