Stop babysitting
the terminal.
Claude Code is brilliant, until it stops to ask you yes or no. Again. And again. Nod brings that approval to your MacBook notch, so you glance, tap, and stay in your editor.

● On it. Updating a few files.
⎿ Edit src/checkout.ts
Allow this edit? (y / n)
✓ approved from your notch
● Done. Tests passing.
# claude code asks. a lot.
# nod puts the yes where your eyes already are.
# the short film
See it in fifty seconds.
# why this exists
You already say yes. You just have to be there to say it.
> you don't read the prompts
Be honest. By the tenth approval you are hitting yes on reflex. The prompt is not the point, the interruption is.
> but you have to be in the terminal
So you keep tabbing back from your editor, your browser, your notes, just to press one key. All day.
> nod moves the yes to your eyes
The ask leans out of the notch with the project and the action. One tap, from wherever you are. Flow intact.
# how it works
Install to first tap in a minute.
01$ open nod
Connect in one click
Download, open it, hit Connect Claude Code. It wires itself in. No terminal, no config files.
02# under your notch
It waits in the notch
Idle, Nod hides completely. The moment Claude Code needs a yes or no, a pill leans out.
03> tap
One tap, keep going
Glance at the notch, tap Yes, and Claude keeps working. You never leave your editor.
# questions
The honest answers.
? is it free?
Yes. Download it and use it. There is an optional auto-approve mode with a free trial, for when you want it fully hands-free, but the tap-to-approve tool is just yours.
? it says “unidentified developer”?
Right-click (Control-click) Nod in Applications and choose Open, then Open. On macOS Sequoia, if it is still blocked, go to System Settings, Privacy and Security, find “Nod was blocked” and click Open Anyway. One time only, then it opens like any app.
? does it want my password or keychain?
No. Nod never shows a keychain prompt and never asks for your password. The one-time Open is the only step macOS needs.
? what is Claude Code?
Anthropic’s coding agent that runs in your terminal. Nod rides on top of it and surfaces its approval prompts at your notch.
? does my code get sent anywhere?
No. Nod runs entirely on your Mac. It never reads or sends your code, it only relays Claude Code’s own yes/no prompts.
? which Macs?
Apple Silicon and Intel, macOS 13 and up. The pill sits under the notch, or top-center if your Mac has none.
? windows?
Coming. Nod is Mac-first because the whole trick is the notch.
# installing it
Unsigned, but a thirty second install.
Nod is free and unsigned, so macOS asks once. Here is the whole thing, start to notch.
