## What is Tapproval?

Tapproval is a remote control for Claude Code on your Apple Watch.

When the agent working on your computer asks permission — run this command? change this file? — the question lands on your wrist, and one tap answers it. No phone out of the pocket, no walk back to the desk.

WHAT IT DOES
• Approve or deny with one tap — your computer obeys instantly
• Answer real multiple-choice questions, with the same options as on your desktop
• Follow sessions live: which one is working right now, which one needs you
• Read the conversation and reply from the watch — "Proceed", "Run tests", "/code-review", or anything you dictate
• See your day: what was handled without you, and what you decided

NOTHING TO CONFIGURE
The watch finds your computer by itself — on your home Wi-Fi, away from home through a private travel address, and even through your own iCloud as a fallback. No account, no third-party server: your prompts and conversations never leave your own machines.

WHAT YOU NEED
A computer running Claude Code (any Mac or Linux machine) with the free, open-source helper installed — one command, then forget it. Curious first? The built-in demo shows the whole flow without any setup.

Tapproval is free. No account, no subscription, and nothing to buy.


## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.3 — 2026-09-26

• Sessions you start from the watch now appear on the watch, and a start that fails can be tried again with one tap.
• While a new session is on its way, the watch says when to look at your Mac.
• A session open on your Mac now says so where you type: a message from the watch runs beside it, and the open session won't see it.
• A message you send leaves the box at once, and comes back if it fails.
• Your own messages stay in the conversation.
• Starting a new session offers your real projects, and sessions carry the names the Claude app gives them.
• The Connection screen is clearer at home, when the watch reaches your Mac through your iPhone.

### 1.2 — 2026-09-23

Clearer when only iCloud gets through, with a way to check the connection. Nothing is cut off on the smallest watches or at larger text sizes, and cards fit the messages Claude Code really sends.

### 1.1 — 2026-09-22

No release notes.
