Bodega asks before the AI touches your files
Bodega is a planned macOS tool that places a human approval step in front of an AI agent’s file operations.

Field notes
The proposed workflow is per-action consent: Bodega displays an AI command in plain language, waits for approval, and stops when the user refuses. The page’s example declines deletion of Drafts/2024, while approved deletions enter a one-day recovery period. It also describes passwords and keys as having no approval path at all. The tool is currently presented as a macOS build rather than an available download; Windows and Linux are listed as future targets.
