Tapproval vs Herdwick

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.

Answer your coding agents from your phone. Herdwick connects to herdr on your own Mac or Linux machines over SSH. See what your agents did and reply from iPhone or iPad. ONE INBOX Every agent on your saved hosts, in one list. The ones waiting on you come first. READ THE CONVERSATION Conversations from omp, Claude Code and Codex show as a chat. Tool steps fold into one line; open it for detail. Edits show as diffs, line by line. Other agents, and transcripts that aren't available, open in the terminal. A line marks what's new since you last looked. ANSWER Tap an option on a supported question or permission prompt, or type a reply. The terminal is always there. USE THE TERMINAL Live output, a message box and keys for Esc, Tab, arrows, Enter and Ctrl-C. Typing mode is optional; it takes control and resizes the pane on your host. CONNECT YOUR MACHINES Use SSH with a key made on your device, or a password. Tailscale sign-in and a machine picker are built in; Tailscale SSH needs setup on your host and tailnet. Nothing to install for Herdwick on your host beyond herdr. KEEP YOUR PLACE While Herdwick reconnects, your last view stays on screen. Pick from seven terminal themes, set separately for light and dark. TRY THE DEMO Look around a scripted demo host before you connect your own. No Herdwick account needed. PRIVACY Your SSH private key stays in the device Keychain. Messages and attachments go to your host, not to a Herdwick server. No analytics. If you use Tailscale, its privacy policy applies. REQUIREMENTS iOS 26 or later, and a Mac or Linux host running herdr that you can reach. Your agents run on the host, not on your phone. Herdwick is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the herdr project or Tailscale Inc. Tailscale is a registered trademark of Tailscale Inc.
