Hi all — long-time user, first build for the community.
I leaned on Cursor’s agent mode heavily over the last few months and kept finding myself in the same loop: walk away to make coffee, come back, agent has done something I’d have stopped if I’d been watching. So I built 008 — a small CLI + Android PWA that puts a 25-second phone-tap approval in front of every shell command, MCP call, or file edit the agent attempts.
It’s built entirely on the Cursor hooks API (.cursor/hooks.json). I wanted to flag a few things specifically for this forum because you’ll have informed opinions:
Honest limitations
- Android only for now. iOS Web Push exists but is unreliable enough that I haven’t shipped support yet.
- The license-validating part of the server is closed-source. The CLI itself is MIT on npm — read it before installing globally if you’re cautious.
- Cold-start latency on the Cloudflare Tunnel adds ~200ms to the first hook fire of a session. Subsequent hooks are warm.

- Pricing: 14-day free trial, $5/mo Solo, $11/mo Pro. (Mentioning because the forum rules suggest disclosing, not because I’m pitching.)
Happy to answer anything about the architecture, the hooks integration, or why I chose Lemon Squeezy as a South African indie hacker. Also happy to take direct critique — this is week 2 of being out and I’d rather know now what’s broken.
