Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I built Redlight Greenlight because I was tired of constantly switching to my terminal every time Claude Code needed permission to run a command. Sometimes it also keeps awaiting for permission cause you forget about it, and it slows you down. Now I can: ✦ Accept or reject with keyboard shortcuts (Opt+Return / Opt+Esc), (Opt+D to Dismiss) ✦ See exactly what command Claude Code wants to run, and in which directory ✦ Handle multiple queued requests ✦ Keep the overlay anywhere on my screen It's a simple tool that saves me dozens of context switches every day.

Looks awesome, but can’t justify the price. If you added more features such as notifications, session and weekly limits, etc, then maybe I could.

When a permission request pops up, what context do you think a developer needs to make a safe decision in under a second (command, cwd, diff, risk cues, history)? How did you decide what to show (and what not to) in the overlay?
