- People monitoring Claude Code, Codex, or Gemini CLI sessions
- Worth noticing
- In paranoid mode, Allow appears only when the bubble fits the whole permission call; calls leaving the sandbox never get Allow.
Field notes
The app uses installed hooks and a local socket rather than polling, and the page says those hooks leave existing settings backed up and intact. It also says every hook exits successfully even if the app is closed, so the terminal can handle the session as usual. The overlay can show command or file details in permission bubbles, with a paranoid mode that withholds Allow unless the full call fits.
