    Termly▲82

    Hey HN! I'm one of the developers of Termly. Problem: I love using Claude Code for development, but being chained to my laptop all day wasn't working. SSH + terminal emulators felt clunky for interactive AI coding sessions. Solution: Built a WebSocket relay that mirrors your AI coding session to mobile with zero-knowledge E2E encryption. How it works: 1. npm install -g @termly-dev/cli 2. termly start (wraps your AI tool) 3. Scan QR code with mobile app 4. Your session syncs in real-time, encrypted end-to-end Tech stack: • Open source CLI (MIT licensed) - inspect the code yourself •…

    Hello everyone. Claudraband wraps a Claude Code TUI in a controlled terminal to enable extended workflows. It uses tmux for visible controlled sessions or xterm.js for headless sessions (a little slower), but everything is mediated by an actual Claude Code TUI. One example of a workflow I use now is having my current Claude Code interrogate older sessions for certain decisions it made: https://github.com/halfwhey/claudraband?tab=readme-ov-file#s... This project provides: - Resumable non-interactive workflows. Essentially `claude -p` with session support: `cband continue…

    Scapefree tier, from $9.99/mo▲59

    Hey HN, we've been using Claude Code daily for months, and built Scape to fix our biggest pain point: managing multiple worktrees quickly & reducing the mental load of switching between them quickly. What we built: Scape is a macOS menu bar app that sits on top of Claude Code and gives you: - One-click worktrees: click a button, get a new git worktree with a Claude session already working on it. Develop in parallel without leaving your current branch. - Toolkit: per-session actions like "Create PR", "Commit & Push", "Run & Fix Tests." Add your own with bash scripts or prompts. -…

    AI that actually controls your Windows/Mac desktop - clicks, types, automates workflows across any application. Native OS integration, not cloud APIs. Built this because I was tired of AI that could only chat. Free tier (Gemini) + paid tier (Claude) for reliable automation. The AI can automate complex workflows, manage files/emails, control browsers and native apps. Just launched 2 weeks ago. What workflows would you want automated?
