Field notes
The workflow pairs an iPhone with one trusted Mac over the local network; the site also describes optional access over a separately configured private VPN. Text sent to a tmux pane can arrive without bringing its window forward, while app-directed input brings the selected app forward first. Agent status and approval prompts depend on command-line hooks installed on the Mac, and the page says their setup varies by tool. The Mac companion is listed as beta 0.1.1 for existing iPhone testers.
