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.

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."

Exception in those days it took a lot of time and effort to build software and you couldn't just do it by answering a few multi choice questions on a phone.

Facts, I have built something myself doing this (granted I am a software eng) and pretty much anyone with claude code / codex could do it in a couple hours and you can tailor it to your exact workflow.

The apps that do this are an easy money grab though, I have a seen some total trash ones that still rank high on IOS store because people still want this so I am sure they will get some subs.

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

is there any such manager out there that uses the ACP protocol? (https://agentclientprotocol.com/)

Ideally I would like a ACP proxy wrapper, where I integrate ACP into my code editor and still be able to use it remotely via a phone.

I believe Happy has been abandoned. I am a Happy user and I got my wife to also use it. She had a bunch of complaints. She was basically begging me to just start making those changes into Happy source code directly (I even pay money to support Happy), but I believe it's gone. Omnara has a better business model.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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

I can voice chat with Happy coder. Also, I run happy coder in a sandbox of mine on my computer. 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.

Happy is an abandonedware unfortunately. It's a great app and dev can capitalize a lot from it but for some reason he hasn't been seen or heard in months since the last release.

There are attempts to create a fork maintained by other developers, but they're yet to be launched.
