Crest for teams
Tired of developers switching every Claude Code check off? Crest gives your whole team the same agent rules and answers in the notch, plus Take and Minutes, for one payment.
3 to 50 people, from $11 a person, paid once.
Crest and Take need macOS 14 or later. Minutes needs macOS 26 or later on Apple Silicon.
An always-allow for npm test answers this for the whole team.
The price per person drops as the team grows, a team never costs more than a bigger one, and nothing renews.
Crest Pro, Take and Minutes for each person, on their own email and 2 Macs, with updates through Crest 7. One payment, and you hand out the seats.
Prices in USD. Prices include tax, except in the US and Canada, where tax is added at checkout.Paid through Paddle, not crypto.No discount codes on a team.7-day refunds.A Paddle tax invoice (PDF) with your company details.
When an agent asks for permission twenty times an hour, people stop reading the prompts, or they switch them off with bypassPermissions, acceptEdits, a Codex run that never asks or Copilot CLI with --yolo. Crest for teams fixes both sides. Each developer answers Claude Code’s questions and permission prompts from the notch, and your team’s never-allow rules are checked even in those modes, while Crest is running. If Crest is closed, the agent’s own mode applies.
Never allow
git push --force*rm -rf*A never rule is checked in every agent mode and inside a chain of commands, and the agent is told which rule stopped it, while Crest is running. If Crest is closed, the agent’s own mode applies.
Always allow
npm test*docs/*An always rule answers the prompts your team sees all day, so nobody is interrupted by a test run. It never covers a chained command.
Crest’s hooks run in each person’s own account, so these are the honest edges of what they can hold.
If someone quits Crest, or Crest does not answer a check within about a second, the agent carries on as it would without Crest, so a closed Crest never freezes a run.
Crest’s hook reaches Codex after the person reviews and trusts it in /hooks.
That is what the rules check. Tools outside those, such as an MCP server’s tools in Claude Code, do not pass through Crest’s hook.
Someone who removes Crest’s hooks steps outside the rules.
Need rules nobody on the Mac can change? Claude Code’s managed settings and Codex’s managed hooks are deployed by your IT, and Crest works beside them. How the rules work across a team, agent by agent: Claude Code for teams. For one developer who just wants fewer prompts, the allow lists are on how to make the agents ask less.
The log shows who, when, which agent, and whether it was allowed or denied. It never holds the command, the path or the web address.
Every seat unlocks Crest Pro, Take and Minutes for one person, on their own email and two Macs, with updates through Crest 7.
Answer Claude Code, Codex and Copilot CLI from the notch, fill passwords with Touch ID and two-factor codes from the notch, and keep the file shelf, the clipboard and 22 widgets one swipe away. Passwords and codes work in Safari, Chrome, Arc, Brave and Edge.
macOS 14 or later.
How the agents part works
Take records the screen, the camera and the voice for a bug report or a pull request, and the recording comes out already edited, with zooms and captions, no watermark and nothing uploaded.
macOS 14 or later.
About Take
Minutes records Zoom, Teams or Meet from both sides with no bot joining the call, and writes the notes on the Mac.
macOS 26 or later on Apple Silicon.
About MinutesFor IT and finance: one payment, a Paddle tax invoice (PDF) with your company details, and seats you can see and take back. There is nothing to host.
There is no spreadsheet of licence keys to keep. From your account page you type one email per seat, paste a whole list, or turn on an invite link for your company’s email domain and share it in Slack or your onboarding doc. When a contractor finishes or someone changes roles, take the seat back and give it to the next person, any time.
Each person signs in inside the apps with the email on their seat, and everything unlocks. Paddle, our merchant of record, issues a tax invoice (PDF) with the company name, address and tax number you enter at checkout, and every invoice can be downloaded again from your account page.
Here is the exact list, for your security review.

They apply while Crest is running on the teammate’s Mac. If Crest is closed, or does not answer a check within about a second, the agent’s own mode applies: its own prompt in the terminal, or no prompt at all in an autonomous mode. While Crest runs, a never-allow rule is checked in every agent mode, including Claude Code’s bypass, accept-edits and plan modes, Codex sessions that never ask and Copilot CLI started with --yolo, and the agent is told which team rule stopped it. While a team has a never-allow rule, Crest keeps its hooks for the three agents installed, even if that person has switched off answering prompts on the notch. An always-allow only answers a prompt that reaches the notch. Codex runs Crest’s hook only after each person trusts it once in /hooks. The rules check commands, file edits and web fetches, and Claude Code’s MCP tools do not pass through Crest’s hook. Crest is not a lock: for rules nobody on the Mac can change, Claude Code has managed settings and Codex has managed hooks in requirements.toml, both deployed by your IT, and Crest works beside them.
Yes, while Crest is running on that Mac. That flag puts Claude Code in bypassPermissions mode, and there Crest’s hook still checks your team’s never-allow rules first, so a blocked command is stopped and the agent is told which rule stopped it. The same holds in acceptEdits and plan mode, for a Codex run that never asks and for Copilot CLI with --yolo. If Crest is closed, or does not answer within about a second, the agent’s own mode applies.
Outcomes only: who, when, which agent, the project folder’s name, the kind of action (run, edit, fetch or other), allowed or denied, and whether the person, a team rule or session trust decided. Never the command, the file path or the web address: the app has no field that could carry them, and our server refuses a batch that tries. The owner and the manager read it on the account page, it is kept for 90 days, and the manager can switch it off. Not in the log: prompts answered in the terminal while Crest was closed, and commands an agent ran without asking in an autonomous mode, unless a never-allow rule stopped one.
A name, the address, and a user and a port if you add them. The servers appear in every teammate’s Hosts in Crest, read-only, so nobody has to ask for the staging box’s address again. There is no field for a password or a key.
No. You pay once for the number of people you pick, from 3 to 50, and the seats are yours, with updates through Crest 7. Every seat includes a first month of Passwords and 2FA, and after that month Crest Passwords is $2.99 a month or $24.99 a year for anyone who wants to keep them filling in and syncing. Teams that bought before October 6, 2026 keep every update for life. Nothing renews for the seats. Adding seats later is one more payment for the difference.
Take their seat back from your account page and give it to someone new, any time, without buying another seat. The person who left loses Crest Pro, Take and Minutes, their Macs are signed out, and the seat is empty for the next person.
No. Take’s recordings and Minutes’ audio, transcripts and summaries stay on the Mac, and the apps do no tracking. They go online to sign in, check the licence every few days and look for updates. Coding agent approvals are answered on the Mac and never reach us.
Yes. Paddle, our reseller and merchant of record, issues a tax invoice (PDF) for every purchase. Use Add tax number in the checkout to enter your company name, address and VAT or tax number, and they are printed on it. Every invoice can be downloaded again from your account page.

git push --force* or rm -rf* for commands, a path for edits, or a web address for fetches. While Crest is running, a never-allow rule is checked in every agent mode: Claude Code in bypass, accept-edits or plan mode, Codex sessions that never ask, and Copilot CLI started with --yolo. If Crest is closed, the agent’s own mode applies. It catches the command inside a chain too, so cd app && git push is stopped by git push*, and the agent is told which team rule stopped it.npm test, a lint, edits under docs/. An always-allow answers a prompt that reaches the notch, so the agent asked, Crest is running and the person answers prompts there. It never covers a chained command, so npm test* cannot wave through npm test && curl … | sh: the person is asked instead. A teammate can switch an always-allow off for themselves and be asked again. Nobody can switch off a never-allow./hooks, so Crest’s rules reach Codex from then on.The price per person drops as the team grows. Every total ends in .99, and a team never costs more than a bigger one. Prices include tax, except in the US and Canada, where tax is added at checkout.
| People | Total, once | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | $44.99 | $15 a person, from 3 to 9 people |
| 6 | $89.99 | $15 a person |
| 9 | $129.99 | The same as 10, so one more person is free |
| 10 | $129.99 | $13 a person, from 10 to 24 people |
| 17 | $220.99 | $13 a person |
| 22 to 24 | $274.99 | The same as 25, so make it 25 |
| 25 | $274.99 | $11 a person, from 25 to 50 people |
| 50 | $549.99 | The most you can buy here. More? Talk to us |
In short: $15 a person for 3 to 9 people, $13 for 10 to 24 and $11 for 25 to 50, so 3 people are $44.99, 10 are $129.99, 25 are $274.99 and 50 are $549.99. Paid through Paddle, and crypto is not offered for teams. No discount codes apply to a team.
