claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Feature: Mobile notification and remote approval for permission prompts [3 comments, 2 participants]

Feature Request

Problem

When Claude Code is running a long task and encounters a permission prompt requiring user confirmation, the user must be physically at their computer to approve it. This blocks execution and wastes time, especially for tasks that run unattended.

Proposed Solution

Add an option to send a push notification to the user's mobile device when Claude Code needs approval, and allow the user to approve/deny directly from their phone.

Possible implementation approaches:

• A companion mobile app or web-based approval dashboard
• Integration with existing push notification services (e.g., via webhooks)
• A simple web endpoint that can be opened on any device for approval

Current Workarounds

• Configuring permissions.allow to reduce prompts (but this reduces security)
• Using hooks + push notification services like ntfy/Pushover (notification only, no remote approval)
• SSH/tmux from a mobile terminal app (clunky UX)

Why This Would Be Valuable

• Enables truly unattended long-running tasks with security maintained
• Improves developer experience for remote/mobile workflows
• Keeps the security model intact (user still approves each action) while removing the physical proximity requirement
