About Port22
Port22 is a developer tool designed to bridge the gap between AI coding agents running on your Mac and your mobile device. When executing long agent runs—such as with Claude Code, Codex, or other tools—developers often step away from their desk only to discover the agent has been idling for extended periods while waiting for a single manual permission or file edit approval.
Port22 solves this bottleneck by putting your Mac's active coding agents directly onto your phone. The application allows you to remotely monitor which agents are actively running and which are stuck waiting for user input. When an agent requires permission, Port22 sends a push notification to your mobile device, allowing you to tap the exact option offered by the prompt rather than sending guessed keystrokes.
Designed for frictionless integration, Port22 attaches seamlessly to your existing workflows without needing custom wrappers, complex configurations, or new terminal instances. It offers a generous free tier for single Mac use with every feature unlocked.
Pros of Port22
- Instant mobile notifications when agents require approval
- Direct interaction with actual CLI options from your phone
- Seamless attachment to existing terminals without configuration or wrappers
- Real-time status monitoring for active and stuck Mac coding agents
- Free plan available with full features for one Mac and two sessions
Cons of Port22
- Currently tailored for Mac desktop environments
- Free tier is restricted to one Mac and two sessions

About Privent 2.0
Privent 2.0 is a dedicated runtime data control solution designed specifically to secure n8n workflows. In standard AI workflows, agents frequently transmit raw, sensitive information—including emails, database records, API keys, and secrets—to Large Language Models (LLMs) on every run. While n8n's native Guardrails node can redact this information, that redaction is permanent, preventing the workflow from reclaiming the original data once processed.
Privent 2.0 resolves this issue by tokenizing PII and secrets before they reach the LLM, and then safely reversing the tokenization at a trusted sink to restore the original data. As an Official n8n Integration Partner, it is built for production teams running complex agent workflows that cannot afford a single leaked record. For teams requiring strict data boundaries and absolute compliance, Privent 2.0 also features a Local mode that runs entirely offline.
Pros of Privent 2.0
- Tokenizes PII and secrets before they reach LLMs, avoiding permanent data loss
- Safely reverses tokenization at a trusted sink to restore original data
- Offers a Local mode that runs fully offline
- Official n8n Integration Partner built specifically for production workflows
Cons of Privent 2.0
- Focuses specifically on n8n workflows, which may limit teams using other orchestration platforms
- Requires configuring a trusted sink to reverse the tokenization process
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Privent 2.0 differ from n8n's native Guardrails node?
While n8n's native Guardrails node permanently redacts sensitive information (making it unrecoverable), Privent 2.0 tokenizes PII and secrets before they reach the LLM, allowing the tokenization to be safely reversed later at a trusted sink.
Does Privent 2.0 support offline environments?
Yes, Privent 2.0 features a Local mode that runs fully offline, making it suitable for teams with strict security and compliance mandates.
Is Privent 2.0 officially integrated with n8n?
Yes, Privent is an Official n8n Integration Partner, designed specifically for production teams running AI agent workflows.
