If it shows \u201cAllow Access\u2026\u201d, click it and choose the folder.<\/p>\n<h3>My iPhone shows \u201cNo Status From Your Mac\u201d.<\/h3>\n<p>Check that AI Status is running on your Mac, that iCloud sync is on (Settings \u203a iCloud on the Mac), and that both devices use the same Apple Account with iCloud turned on.<\/p>\n<h3>My iPhone shows \u201cNot Updated\u201d.<\/h3>\n<p>Your Mac hasn&#8217;t sent a status recently, for example because it is asleep or AI Status quit. It updates as soon as the Mac app runs again.<\/p>\n<h3>What does \u201cHidden Stale Sessions\u201d mean?<\/h3>\n<p>Sessions that stopped in the middle of a task, for example because the agent quit, and are no longer shown as running. Settings \u203a Diagnostics \u203a Reset Count clears the count.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I try AI Status without an agent?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Choose \u201cShow Sample Data\u201d in the Mac menu bar panel or in Settings \u203a Diagnostics, or on the first screen of the iPhone or Apple Watch app.<\/p>\n<h3>Does AI Status change my files or send my code anywhere?<\/h3>\n<p>No. It only reads the agents&#8217; session files on your Mac. A short status summary goes to your own iCloud account, and you can turn that off at any time.<\/p>\n<h3>How do I update AI Status?<\/h3>\n<p>The version from this page checks for updates about once a day and asks before installing one. You can also choose Settings \u203a About \u203a Check for Updates\u2026.
