How to approve agent browser actions from your iPhone with Agent Chrome Relay

Receive and approve browser actions on your iPhone with Face ID while away from the Mac.

Who it is forA developer who starts agent browser work on a Mac and wants to approve sensitive steps from their phone when they are away.

The problemAgents can reach a point where a person needs to approve an action, but the Mac may not be in front of you.

The outcomeApproval requests reach the Chrome Relay Approve app on your iPhone, and you approve them with Face ID.

What you need first

  • A Mac with macOS and Google Chrome
  • Go 1.25 or newer (`brew install go`)
  • Chrome Relay extension installed from the Chrome Web Store and pinned in each Chrome profile agents should use
  • Optional: Xcode command line tools for 1Password and Secure Enclave passkeys
  • Optional: 1Password, for sign-ins and op:// references
  • Optional: the Chrome Relay Approve iPhone app from TestFlight, for approvals away from the Mac

Steps

  1. Complete the Mac setup with ./build and ./chrome-relay setup
  2. Install TestFlight on the iPhone, then open the Chrome Relay Approve link there: https://testflight.apple.com/join/zhpm8gND
  3. Install the Chrome Relay Approve app from TestFlight on the iPhone
  4. Run an agent task that needs approval, and approve it on the phone with Face ID

Prompt for your agent

Using the Chrome Relay repo at aindeev/agent-chrome-relay, start a browser task on <site URL> that needs approval, and wait for the approval on the iPhone app. Expected output: the approval result. Verify that the request shows the page you expect before approving.

Caveat. The iPhone app is on TestFlight and was still in App Store review according to the README, so availability may change.
