Stop Runaway AI Agents From Freezing Your Machine

An OS-level watchdog and mobile haptic approvals gate for Cursor, Claude Code, Aider, and custom OpenClaw agents.

How it works

The background LaunchAgent daemon runs locally on your Mac. If your agent enters an infinite loop, leaks memory, or freezes simulator targets, the watchdog intercepts and reaps the processes while keeping your GUI safe.

❯ tail -f ~/Library/Logs/hermes-watchdog.log

Leash redirects expensive or destructive command executions (like server starts, database migrations, or pushes) to your phone for confirmation, complete with full visual diffs and haptic warnings.
