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, grouped by what they need: which one needs you, which one is working, and the project each belongs to • Read the conversation the way your phone shows it, with bold, lists and plans laid out, 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, or away from home through a private travel address. 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. Your first 100 answers are free. After that, one purchase of $5 unlocks unlimited answers for good. There is no subscription and no account. Reading sessions and the day's activity stays free, and a prompt you don't answer from the wrist still appears on your computer as usual, so nothing is ever blocked. An optional $1 coffee for the developer is there too.
