    Just fixed this issue! Seemed to occur on web, thanks for reporting this!

    Yep, you're right, we don't have E2EE period (and we don't claim to have it anywhere), for the reasons I mention above (our cloud sandbox agent and voice agent need plaintext messa…

    We have voice support for this exact reason! Not sure if I'd want to enable people vibe coding from their car dashboard xD

    Haha glad to hear that you used Omnara before. In the old version, we were directly parsing the terminal output, which was really hard to maintain. But that meant you could use the…

    Haha yeah, we love happy, seems like you guys are popular in this thread :)

    This sounds solid, similar stuff to what we do! Sounds like this setup gets you most of the way there. We also have a mobile app + notifications. And I haven't tried using a coding…

    You should be able to use Omnara for that use case, unless I'm misunderstanding something

    Awesome, that's the exact reason we built this! Is it possible to completely disable or not use the remote sandbox features? I would never use them and would prefer my code stays o…

    Looking into this, will fix this soon! GitHub auth should be working on the web app, if you try there (assuming you got this error on mobile). You can continue to use Omnara normal…

    Replying to your latest comment here: What do you mean by syncing? Happy coder syncs sessions between all my happy coder clients. I can even see in real time how happy coder in my …

    I mean messages drop or stall, or syncing doesn't work, or I can't get through setup at all. But I'm sure all these solutions have improved greatly since I've tried them, I tried t…

    Thanks! And yeah it's definitely something we think about very often, we're coming up with ways to differentiate ourselves.

    Two of the main feature's we're investing heavily into are remote sandboxes + syncing, and voice agent support, wouldn't work with E2EE.

    We use the Claude Agent SDK and the Codex App server, which makes it easier to maintain (we used to parse out the literal terminal when we first launched, which was not maintainabl…

    Yes, they have E2EE, but it comes with some limitations in the features they're able to provide.

    I haven't tried out https://hapi.run/ , but I've tried similar things and in my experience Omnara is much more reliable than the other solutions, as well as I enjoy the UX of Omnar…

    Comment #46993412

    We think that terminal interfaces, especially on mobile, are not going to be the way people end up interacting with agents in the long run, which is a big reason we built Omnara. A…

    Comment #46993188

    Voice input + output sounds gimmicky (as I admit in the post), but it's quite useful for mobile coding. It's not as trivial as just printing out whatever Claude Code outputs. "Clau…

    Thank you! Yeah, a big selling point of Omnara is that it "just works." Let me know how it goes!

    Comment #46993017

    I'd say to try it out first, and then let me know what you think! And a product doesn't have to be technically sophisticated to be funded by YC (although I would say that Omnara is…

    Comment #46992910

    The idea is that if agents are coding for you, there's no need to be at your desk to manage them. I think the case for managing coding agents without being at your desk is becoming…

    They currently don't have the ability to use a local session from your phone, and they only have voice input, not voice input and output for completely hands free usage.

    Comment #46992589

    Yeah that makes sense. I personally feel like the tailscale + terminal emulator solution is pretty limited compared to Omnara's interface, and there's also 0 hassle of maintaining …

    We're a very complex Claude Code wrapper :) Try it out and lmk what you think!
