[Feature Request] iOS Companion Application

I submitted this via the official support/request channel. But thought I'd mention it here to get feedback from other users and to drum up support.

I'd like a companion application for my iPhone (iOS) that allows me to receive Little Snitch Alerts (via push) and (remotely) approve/deny those requests.

User Flow:
I configure Little Snitch to turn on remote alerts.
Little Snitch gives me a username/password to identify my computer.
I buy a new Little Snitch companion app in the App Store.
I configure the companion application with the username/password above.
When my computer receives a new Little Snitch alert a push notification is also sent to my companion application.
I receive the push notification on my companion application.
It says "ScreenSharingd has an incoming connection from fake.badguys.com. Accept/Deny/(Forever/Etc)?"
I push the Deny Forever button.
My computer receives a new alert and a push is sent.
It says "ScreenSharingd has an incoming connection from 123-123211.cpe.san.rr.com. Accept/Deny/(Forever/Etc)?"
That's me at home, my network ip changed at home, so I click "Accept Forever".


In the use cases above if the connection times out, it would be great if I could still create the new rules on my iPhone. That way I can attempt the connection again.

I realize this involves creating a way to communicate with my remote computer (opening a port so Little Snitch can receive the responses). That could be limited by using a system like Plex does where obdev.at would host the communications, so all the rules created on my iOS would go to obdev.at first then to my remote computer - one point of access. This is a lot of work, and a feature that I suspect everyone won't need/require. So I'm thinking an application like this would be worth 4.99$.

Thanks,
Joseph Elwell.
