Feels expensive for something that an engineer can hack in a couple of ours with tailscale and Claude Code. Has potential though. At $9 I'd be totally in, but moving from CC's Max plan at $100, adding $20 makes me wanna just hack an alternative. Maybe I'm just cheap.

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 anything on your own with Omnara. You can try out Omnara for free, and see if you like it before paying! 10 sessions can get you pretty far, and there's no limit on the session length.

I think someone should also mention Happy ( https://happy.engineering ), which has decent mobile clients and is currently MIT-licensed. Although I must say that Omnara's UI looks absolutely fantastic. Well done!

I use this everyday, and even have the Happy server on my home Mac to skip the cloud relay.

I think I will only explore an alternative if the UI on the mobile is dramatically better (something to explore) but im trying my best to only pay for the model these day and avoid any other tooling subscription, and doing pretty great thus far.

How does this compare to Happy Coder? https://github.com/slopus/happy

Anecdotally from some Omnara users who have used both, I've heard that reliability and latency when sending messaages is better in Omnara

We try to provide a decent chunk of features on top as well, including (but not limited to):

* web support

* worktrees

* sandboxing

* richer git management (richer diffs, checkpoints, git operations)

* preview URLs

I think the native Claude and Codex apps already do this for free. They even have the voice input.

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.

I don't really understand the market for handoff of your vibe-coding session. Considering there's a need, does this use-case warrant a full blown SaaS solution?

Sidenote - is this novel enough to be backed by YC? Just seems like a feature that Anthropic/OpenAI could release any day.

There's a lot of negative feedback in this thread, so let me say I'm really excited to try this! I have caring responsibilities at home that means I'm constantly switching between my laptop and phone. Claude code web has been a very useful tool for this, but it's not a great bit of software. Omnara looks much more configurable and thought out. I've looked for various solutions to this problem that just work, and nothing else mentioned in this thread fits the bill. Your demo looks like it nails it - I'm excited to try!

Claude Code will help you set this up using tmux. Voice input and output personally seems like a gimmick, but OS accessibilty features should work fine for this.

There's certainly something to the "mass delegation" trend. My best rn is on email: https://ai-chat.email

Yeah we've definitely taken some inspiration from everyone who building an agent orchestrator/delegation app right now!
