Claude Code asks for permission before running tools (Bash, Write, Edit, etc.). If you're not at your terminal, it just waits. This tool hooks into Claude Code's PermissionRequest hook and sends each prompt as a push notification to your phone via ntfy.sh. Tap Approve or Deny, and Claude continues.Setup: npm install -g claude-remote-approver claude-remote-approver setup Then scan the QR code with the ntfy app on your phone and start a new Claude Code session.How it works: The hook POSTs the permission request to an ntfy topic, then subscribes to a response topic via SSE. When you tap a button on your phone, ntfy delivers the response back. The hook writes {"behavior":"allow"} or {"behavior":"deny"} to stdout and exits.The topic name is generated with crypto.randomBytes(16) (128 bits), config file is 0600, and unanswered requests auto-deny after 120 seconds.If you don't want requests going through the public ntfy.sh server, you can self-host ntfy and point the config at your own instance.Github: https://github.com/yuuichieguchi/claude-remote-approvernpm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/claude-remote-approver
