About

Tapproval

Features
Read full description

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.
