Leave your computer freely. Your local AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex and more) now run for long stretches, needing only the occasional approval or nudge. SessionBell puts that on your iPhone — so you can step away and still stay in control: • Rings only when it should — a task is waiting for input, has finished, or is asking to run a command. Delivered straight to your Lock Screen. Idle detection stays quiet while you're at your desk. • Every machine, one panel — a live Lock Screen view of all your Macs and Windows PCs: waiting / running / done, ticking in real time, no unlock. • Approve with one tap — allow or deny a command right on the Lock Screen card. No need to walk back to your computer. • Steer and see the terminal — send the next instruction to a session, watch real terminal output, even start a new session remotely. • Usage at a glance — this week's limits and premium-model usage, official numbers. Works with a free desktop companion for Mac and Windows — one command to pair after install. SessionBell is MIT-licensed open source, fully auditable and self-hostable — your data can flow through your own server only. Privacy by design: only project names, machine names, and status summaries are sent, never your source files. No ads, no tracking. GitHub: github.com/westie-ai/session-bell
