JaGateHuman approval before your app acts

Run one small gateway, send decisions through Telegram, and let each client application perform its own approved action.

Get started

HTTP API

Caller-owned execution

JaGate never runs supplied commands, URLs, scripts, or callbacks. The calling application acts with its own credentials.

Telegram decisions, no public URL

One bot delivers each client's requests to its own chat. Only allowlisted numeric user IDs can decide, and long polling works behind NAT.

Durable lifecycle and one claim

SQLite stores proposals, delivery state, decisions, claims, and reported outcomes across restarts. Pending requests fail closed on expiry.

Scoped keys and audit

Issue keys for specific operations with optional expiry, revoke them without restarting, and see which key created, claimed, or reported a request.

Request history

Filter and page a client's requests, surface failed delivery or old claims, and inspect each request's recorded timeline.

Operator console and client tooling

Review one client's inbox, timeline, keys, and audit feed in the browser. Build callers with the playground and the HTTP or TypeScript client.

JaGate is a self-hosted approval service for actions such as deploying a site, publishing a post, or starting a maintenance job. Applications in any language use its HTTP API. Node.js and TypeScript applications can also use the typed client.

A gateway runs one Node.js 24 process, one SQLite database, and one Telegram bot. Each client has its own destination chat and allowlist of numeric Telegram user IDs. Read the trust and recovery guide before using approvals for consequential actions.

For a first local test, follow Get started locally. The example asks for approval before writing a harmless temporary text file. Then use the scenario guides for deployment, backup deletion, and claimed-request recovery.
