AethelHook is a free, open-source remote control that lets you approve or deny your AI coding agent's actions from your phone instead of babysitting your IDE. You can also send prompts from your phone and get the reply back, so you're never chained to your desk. Works with Claude Code, Codex, & OpenCode across both CLI and editor integrations, plus Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot CLI, & Devin CLI's standalone terminal CLI. No subscription, no juggling separate apps. Windows and Android.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I built AethelHook because I kept alt-tabbing back to my IDE every few minutes just to approve a tool call from whichever coding agent I was running. It's a permission gateway: instead of clicking "Allow" in your IDE, the request goes to your phone as a push notification, and you approve or deny it from there, wherever you are.
Works with 6 different agents: Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode (both CLI and editor integrations), plus Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot CLI, and Devin CLI's standalone terminal CLI. For most of them, you can also send a prompt from your phone and get the reply back.
Free, no subscription, fully open source (MIT licensed). I built it because the free tools I looked at were all CLI-only with no phone app, and the official apps' own remote-control features are either paywalled or locked to one specific assistant.
One heads-up before you install: the Windows installer isn't code-signed yet (solo dev, no cert), so SmartScreen may warn on first run - click "More info" > "Run anyway".
Would love your feedback, especially on the approval flow itself!
