Funny how similar this is to the famous comment on Dropbox's Launch HN post in 2007. "1. For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem. From Windows or Mac, this FTP account could be accessed through built-in software."

Why is it funny? Is Dropbox supposed to be some kind of success? Their stock is down -16.72% from IPO seven years ago.

Yeah, it's only at a 6.355B market cap, complete failure!

I’ve been SSHing into my dev server off of my phone to run Claude Code while commuting, so this is a product that I would love to switch to. I can’t use the Claude iOS app due to the testing set up I have. That said I do have a couple of questions:

- Is it possible to completely disable or not use the remote sandbox features? I would never use them and would prefer my code stays on my device.

- For those of us that are using subscriptions, does it show our remaining usage? I would hate to run out of tokens in the middle of a session.

- One feature of the CC TUI I sorely missed on mobile is the ability to look up and directly reference files via “@“. Is any functionality like this planned?

- (This likely won’t affect my decision to use the service as I’ll just put it on a company card.) $20 per month for a service that runs CC on a remote machine in a convenient matter is steep but doable. Asking that same amount for a running code on my own server seems a bit unjustified, especially since this is pricier than the cost of a Claude pro subscription. Are there any plans to offer a cheaper tier for those of us that just want to run this on our own machines?

Like what? I like it a lot...

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 browser's conversations progress as well as on my phone, in parallel. Omnara also displays realtime conversations between all Omnara clients. What I mean by syncing is syncing your conversation and code changes to a cloud sandbox, which is…

Thanks for answering my questions! I see that Happy Coder is not far from Omnara. I hope Omnara can be not too far from E2E encryption. The lack of E2E encryption was why I didn't chose Omnara.

Can you guys please make an iOS app that replicates the Claude code app to hook into this one problem my hat is that it can’t query live DB etc. all the things we need a persistent client based terminal session for. But the app is really slick, so it would be great to have it with the multiple threads sidebar, etc..

Awesome, that's the exact reason we built this!

Yes, the remote sandbox feature is disabled by default, and you have to manually enable it for the syncing to start.

For those of us that are using subscriptions, does it show our remaining usage? I would hate to run out of tokens in the middle of a session.

Currently Omnara doesn't show your usage limits, you would have to check that at claude.ai. I'll look into add that though.

One feature of the CC TUI I sorely missed on mobile is the ability to look up and directly reference files via “@“. Is any functionality like this planned?

Yes, this exists in Omnara already!

Are there any plans to offer a cheaper tier for those of us that just want to run this on our own machines?

That's a good idea, we'll think about doing this where we don't offer sandbox + voice, and just have the messaging service.

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