Another option that does all this and more for open code: https://github.com/btriapitsyn/openchamber

Not affiliated with that project, but have been using it for a few weeks and it blows every other 'GUI for the CLI agents' I've tried out of the water in terms of both features and just working snappily/consistently.

Also totally free, and actively being improved by the solo maintainer and an active community of contributors.

Omnara providing a tunnel for you is nice, but considering Tailscale is dead simple and free, feels hard to justify $20 a month for what looks like considerably less features than openchamber

I don't quite see the appeal, because Claude Code already supports something similar. They spin up container to make the changes in and then open a PR. I can just use the Claude iOS app to do this. My computer doesn't need to be running or exposed to the internet.

Omnara’s is useful if you have a complex dev setup that’s hard to replicate in Claude’s remote container, or you want to test things out locally without any friction. Omnara tries to make switching between being on your computer and being on your phone feel seamless, whereas in Claude, local and remote dev feel more disconnected.

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

I used to think that getting admitted to YC was a major accomplishment. Maybe it was at some point, but at the college graduation parties of my daughter it seemed like pretty much everyone who tried had gotten in. Most collapsed after a few months due to infighting, funds mismanagement etc. It was fascinating to watch.

Woah, I had this exact idea, down to the tunneling and local machine! I basically just coded up a Tailscale + caffeinate harness for my agents and it's been working super well. Your UI looks great though, glad to see more players in this space!

Also your promo video is really fun! https://www.omnara.com/assets/landing/video/movie.mp4
