Why AckPush exists

AI agents can now run for an hour on their own, until they need a person. Then everything stops at a prompt in a terminal nobody is looking at.

Anyone who works with coding agents knows the feeling: you come back to find one has been waiting forty minutes for a single “yes”. The same thing happens with deploy scripts, scheduled jobs and internal tools: the work is automated, but the decision isn't, and the question is asked somewhere you aren't.

Push notifications already reach you wherever you are. What was missing was the way back: a notification you can answer, with the answer delivered to whatever asked, reliably and exactly once.

What we care about

• Short questions, fast answers. If you can answer it in one tap, you shouldn't have to unlock your phone.
• Nothing to host. Agents connect over MCP and apps over a plain HTTPS API. No bot, no server for the answers.
• Correct under pressure. A double tap, a retry or a lost connection never turns into two approvals.
• Quiet by default. AckPush is for decisions, not marketing. We don't sell or share your data.

Where it stands

AckPush runs every day for its own team, on iPhone, Android and the web. We're opening it to more people in small groups. Request an invite or get in touch.
