Read full description

Nudge Remote is built for home servers, headless computers, remote workstations, and any Mac you leave running while you are away. When a supported macOS approval prompt appears, Nudge Remote brings that decision to your iPhone so you can approve, deny, or dismiss it remotely. Your computer keeps doing the job you left it to do. Your iPhone becomes the place where waiting dialogs get handled. Use Nudge Remote for: • Home servers running media, automation, backups, builds, or downloads • Headless computers tucked in a closet, rack, office, or another room • Remote computers that should not sit idle waiting for a button click • macOS dialogs that can be safely handled from your iPhone What Nudge Remote does: • Shows supported approval prompts on your iPhone • Lets you tap the available dialog action remotely • Separates prompts that need direct computer access from prompts that can be handled from iPhone • Sends notifications when attention is needed • Supports pairing through the companion app for macOS • Uses end-to-end encryption for approval prompt payloads and button decisions Nudge Remote is not a remote desktop app. It is for the smaller but very real problem that breaks unattended workflows: the computer is still running, the work is ready to continue, but a dialog is waiting for input. Install the companion app on the computer you want to monitor, pair it with this iPhone app, and let your work continue even when you are not sitting in front of it. Some prompts may still require direct computer access when they need a password, extra screen context, or another window. Nudge Remote clearly separates those cases so you know what can be actioned remotely and what needs direct access. Nudge Remote requires an auto-renewing subscription after the 7-day free trial to pair Macs and receive approval prompts. Plans are available for 1 computer or up to 3 computers.
