Pushary: Gemini CLI approvals on your phone, through native hooks

[aadilghani1]

I build Pushary, a paid hosted service, so weigh this accordingly.

Pushary connects Gemini CLI through its native hooks and an MCP server. Before each shell command, file write, edit and MCP call, the hook checks your Pushary policy. A call that needs a person waits for an answer on your phone, in the Mac app or in the dashboard.

npx pushary@latest setup --agents gemini_cli

Restart Gemini CLI afterwards. It loads hooks when it starts and doesn't ask you to trust them first.

• Under --yolo, a deny from your phone still blocks the call, but anything Pushary hands back runs with no prompt, so it doesn't make yolo safe. Stay in Gemini's default mode if every hand-back should prompt.
• On a team, once a second person joins the workspace, an owner can add a routing rule such as Bash(git push:*) in the infra repository, routed to the Admins role. Gemini's run_shell_command matches that rule, so the push asks the admins instead of the person running Gemini, and the record shows whose agent asked and who answered. The same rule covers Claude Code, Codex and Cursor.

What it doesn't do:

• A routing rule doesn't lock the terminal. If nobody answers in time, the person running Gemini can still approve at Gemini's own prompt, and that yes isn't recorded.
• The phone can only deny risky steps such as a force push or rm -r. Approve those in the dashboard.

One person is $9.99 a month after a 3-day trial, with a card to start. Team is $59 a month for 5 people, plus $12 for each extra person.
