Mac app Crest: AI agent behind the notch, review card before writes
zack40xx · reddit · 2026-08-03
A solo dev built a Mac app called Crest where an AI agent lives behind the notch. Users talk or type; it answers or turns words into reminders, todos, notes, and calendar events. Key design decisions: routing over modes, a review card before any write (e.g., "Claude will do"), pure opens skip review, voice needs a word gate, and it relays other agents' prompts (like Claude Code) for permission. It runs on the user's own Claude subscription, no API key or middleman server. The author asks: should repeated identical actions earn auto-approve?
