Third-party apps like CC Pocket offer this kind of cross-session bulk approval, but require Tailscale + bridge server setup. Having this natively in remote-control would remove the need for external tooling.

Problem

When running multiple Claude Code sessions simultaneously (e.g., via tmux), each session independently requests tool approval. On mobile via remote-control, you have to switch between sessions and approve one by one. This is tedious when you have 3-5+ sessions running.

Proposed Solution

Add a bulk approval UI in the mobile app / web remote-control interface:

  • Show a list of pending approvals across all connected sessions
  • Allow "approve all" or selective multi-approve with checkboxes
  • Optionally: "approve all from this session" shortcut

Context

Third-party apps like CC Pocket offer this kind of cross-session bulk approval, but require Tailscale + bridge server setup. Having this natively in remote-control would remove the need for external tooling.

Current Workaround

  • Use acceptEdits permission mode + allow rules to reduce approval frequency
  • Approve one by one on mobile

extent analysis

TL;DR

Implementing a bulk approval UI in the mobile app or web remote-control interface is likely the most effective fix to streamline the approval process for multiple Claude Code sessions.

Guidance

  • Investigate the feasibility of integrating a bulk approval feature into the existing remote-control interface, considering the proposed solution's requirements.
  • Evaluate the potential benefits and limitations of implementing "approve all" and selective multi-approve functionality with checkboxes.
  • Consider the value of adding an "approve all from this session" shortcut to enhance user experience.
  • Review the current workaround using acceptEdits permission mode and allow rules to determine if it can be improved or expanded upon.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not contain specific technical details or APIs that can be used to create a relevant example.

Notes

The implementation of a bulk approval UI may require significant changes to the existing remote-control interface and backend infrastructure. Additionally, the issue does not provide information on the technical requirements or constraints of the Claude Code sessions or the remote-control interface.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: The current workaround using acceptEdits permission mode and allow rules can be used to reduce approval frequency, although it may not be as efficient as a bulk approval UI. Implementing a bulk approval feature is likely a more significant undertaking and may require additional resources and development time.
