What MacNudge is
A focused remote-approval utility for supported standard macOS alert dialogs on Macs you own or administer.
The direct answer
MacNudge handles supported native macOS alert dialogs from your iPhone.
MacNudge is a two-app utility: MacNudge runs on your Mac, and Nudge Remote is its iPhone companion. When MacNudge detects a supported native macOS alert dialog with visible buttons, it securely shows the requesting app, message, and choices on your iPhone. It clicks only the button you explicitly approve.
What MacNudge is not
It is not remote desktop software, a terminal remote, or a notification and approval integration for Codex, Claude Code, or other coding agents.
What it can handle
Supported native alerts with visible buttons such as Allow, OK, Continue, Replace, Restart, Cancel, or Don't Allow.
What still needs Mac access
Passwords, Keychain prompts, System Settings changes, arbitrary terminal input, agent questions, command approvals, complex windows, and other protected interactions.
The Mac app
MacNudge detects supported dialogs, applies safety rules, and performs only the approved visible button action.
The iPhone app
Nudge Remote is the iPhone companion for MacNudge. It displays eligible dialog context and sends your selected action back to the paired Mac.
