Phone notifications when an agent needs you
Phone — notifications when an agent needs you. Your phone now notifies you when a Tasks approval is waiting, an agent asks a question or asks to link with another, a link message is held for your confirmation, or an AI agent exits with an error; an approval opens the Inbox and everything else opens the terminal it came from. Add Terminal on the phone gains an Account picker for Claude, Codex, Gemini, Qwen, OpenCode and Grok, with Auto, your saved accounts and their quota, or This computer's login, and the Aa button in a phone terminal's header sets the text size from 8 to 20 px. The Inbox now explains why notifications can't be turned on, and fixes cover a new terminal on an added account starting on the shared login and phone notifications not appearing on Android and iPhone.

What changed
New features
9- Get notified for approvals, questions and failures — besides finished and idle agents, the phone now notifies you when a Tasks approval is waiting, an agent asks to link with another or a link message is held for your confirmation, an agent asks a question, or an AI agent exits with an error
- An approval opens the Inbox and refreshes its list and badge right away; everything else opens the terminal it came from
- In the banner and the Inbox, amber marks something waiting on you and red marks something that broke
- Pick the account from your phone — Add Terminal on the phone now shows an Account picker when the launch uses Claude, Codex, Gemini, Qwen, OpenCode or Grok and you have saved accounts, including presets and custom commands that start one of them
- Choose Auto, a saved account, or This computer’s login; each account shows how much quota it has used, with Recommended, Default, Parallel, Switches login and Cooling badges
- Accounts you can't use right now say why, such as signed out
- Make terminal text bigger or smaller — the Aa button in a phone terminal's header opens a bar with A− and A+ (8 to 20 px) and Reset; the size is remembered on that phone
- On a terminal sized by the phone, a bigger size gives fewer, larger columns
- On a terminal mirrored at the desktop's width, picking a size turns off Fit width and shows the terminal at that size; scroll sideways to read full lines
Improvements
2- The Inbox explains when notifications can't be turned on — over a plain http connection it tells you to turn on Tailscale HTTPS or the tunnel in Remote settings and pair again; on iPhone it tells you to add 1DevTool Remote to the Home Screen
- Fit width sits next to text size — the phone's Fit width toggle moved from the terminal header into the text size bar, so both ways of sizing the terminal are in one place
Bug fixes
2- Fixed a new terminal on an added account starting on the shared login — Accounts & Quota → New terminal, or Add Terminal with a parallel Claude account picked, labelled the tab with that account while Claude inside was signed in as the shared login; the terminal now runs on the account you picked
- Fixed phone notifications not appearing on Android and iPhone — enabling notifications in the Inbox showed nothing on Android Chrome or an iPhone Home Screen app; notifications are now shown the way those platforms require, and tapping one opens the right terminal or the Inbox even when 1DevTool Remote was closed
