About

Agent Browser Gateway

Features
Read full description

Approve your desktop AI agent's browser actions from your iPhone. Agent Browser Gateway lets AI coding agents work with browser tabs you explicitly share on your Mac. This companion app brings the approval step to your phone, so you can review and decide requests without switching back to the desktop. HOW IT WORKS • Pair with your own Mac by scanning the QR code shown by the Gateway, or by entering the code manually. • When your agent asks to act on a shared tab, the request appears here with what it wants to do, which site it targets, which tab, and who asked. • Allow or deny with one decision. Deny is always the default action. BUILT AROUND CONSENT • Page contents never leave your Mac. This app receives a summary of each request, not the page. • Pairing works over your own private network. There is no ABG cloud service, no account, and no telemetry. • Every decision is recorded in the audit log on your Mac, including which device decided. • Destructive operations carry stronger confirmation, and you can revoke a paired phone at any time from the desktop. REQUIREMENTS Agent Browser Gateway running on your Mac, plus the Chrome extension. Both devices need to reach each other on the same private network.
