So you're just a Claude Code wrapper? Question to YC: how did this get funded?

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

I like your landing page and the video where the guy does stuff outside while his agents work in background, but the nature of your company does not appear to me as being consistent with screenshots of messages from Paul Graham discussing what startups ought to be like, etc, that YCombinator's LinkedIn account keeps posting. I'm not saying that this is you, but I have an impression that a lot of these companies getting into YC do it as a money grab and/or for bragging rights while being as technically sophisticated as an above-average high school project. It's great that you got funded, but I'm not sure if you should have been.

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!

Thanks for the shout! Happy looks solid - always great to see more options here. Anecdotally from users who've tried both, we've heard Omnara has better reliability and latency. We also layer on some features like web support, worktrees, sandboxing, richer git management (diffs, checkpoints), and preview URLs. Would love to hear what you think if you give it a spin :)

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.

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 stronger as agents become more autonomous.

And for your sidenote, we'll see when Anthropic/OpenAI release something similar. For now it's pretty useful, and we're making it better every day.

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.

Totally get it, we're trying to minimize subscriptions too. Free tier gives you 10 sessions/month with no length limits, so you can actually get a decent amount done before deciding if it's worth paying

I see the need and I'll probably give it a go, but how does Omnara handle users' data? Do you store my tokens, stuff about my project, etc.?

If I paste in something confidential, and Omnara suffers a breach tomorrow - will my conversation data be a part of it?

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 a pretty technical product, which you'll see if you try it out)!

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 noth…

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