Honest comparison
Both put agent approvals on your phone. Forge Remote is a native app that risk-scores each action for Claude Code, Aider, and Codex. Pushary lets you set the rules once, keeps an exportable audit trail, and works with any MCP client, with no backend to host.
If you want a native mobile app that shows a risk badge on every action and keeps everything in your own Firebase, Forge Remote is a clean fit. If you want author-once rules so routine work runs without you, an exportable audit trail, and coverage of more than Claude Code, Aider, and Codex, Pushary is the better fit.
Forge Remote scores each action and asks you to approve it. That is great control, but it still means a tap per action. Pushary lets you author the rules once: auto-approve safe reads, push on Bash, escalate a deploy, always deny destructive commands. The phone only buzzes for what your policy flags, and the rule sticks across sessions and machines.
Forge streams tool calls and file changes live to your Firebase, which is a real-time view rather than a retained decision log, and we did not find a documented, exportable audit trail. Pushary keeps an immutable, attributed, exportable record of every question and every human decision, across every agent and machine, which is what a team lead or compliance owner can rely on.
Forge Remote controls Claude Code, Aider, and Codex CLI. Pushary works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Hermes, Windsurf, and any MCP client, and needs no app install or self-hosted backend. You install a hook into the agent and approve from web push on any device.
Forge Remote is a polished native app with a per-action risk badge, live session streaming, and a bring-your-own-Firebase model that keeps your data in infrastructure you own. If you want a dedicated mobile app and a risk score on every action, and you mainly run Claude Code, Aider, or Codex, Forge Remote is a strong pick.

Forge Remote is an iOS and Android app that streams and controls desktop Claude Code, Aider, and Codex CLI sessions from your phone. You install a relay on your machine (npm install -g forge-remote), pair it by QR, and then approve or deny each tool action from your phone, with a Low, Medium, High, or Critical risk badge. It uses your own Firebase project, so your data stays in infrastructure you control.
Both let you approve an agent's actions from your phone. Forge prompts you per action with a risk badge. Pushary lets you set author-once per-tool rules so routine actions do not interrupt you, keeps an exportable audit trail, works with any MCP client rather than only Claude Code, Aider, and Codex, and needs no self-hosted backend. Forge approves each action. Pushary governs them with policy.
Forge streams live tool calls and file changes and scores each action's risk, but we did not find a documented author-once permission-policy engine or an exportable audit log in its public materials; approvals are per event. Pushary is built around both a per-tool policy engine and an immutable, exportable record of every question and decision.
Forge Remote covers Claude Code, Aider, and Codex CLI. Pushary covers Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Hermes, Windsurf, and any MCP client, so it can govern more of the agents you already run.
Forge Remote requires your own Firebase project (the free tier works), which keeps data under your control but is a setup step, and control runs through the native app. Pushary needs no self-hosted backend: you install its hook into your agent and approve from web push on any device, on any OS.
Set your guardrails once, approve from your phone, and keep an exportable audit trail. Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Hermes, and any MCP client. 7-day free trial.
