Replicas▲239Hey HN! I'm Connor, creator of Replicas. I'm a heavy Codex/Claude Code user, and I wanted to hand off tasks to agents like I would to an engineer - kick something off before work, let it scaffold while I'm at lunch, even come back to a ready PR. The problem: existing alternatives use workspace VMs that are black boxes. I have no access to any of them - they can't run tests, read logs, or use tools like the Playwright MCP (which I use to verify agents actually fixed what they claim to fix). Replicas gives agents real cloud workspaces where they can: - Run your test suite and read the…

relaydfree tier, from $5/mo▲101I kept missing when my Codex agents finished, so I built relayd — a mobile dashboard that sends push notifications and lets me continue agents from my phone. Free tier available. Would love feedback.

hi guys. been working on something i think is fundamentally missing in today's workflow with ai agents. vcs. i find myself struggling with questions that agents can't answer like "why did you do it?", "when did u delete this folder? why?", etc. or trying to /rewind (after a /compact...) or basically `bisect` to find when and why something was done by the agent in the current / previous session. just like git did for code, i think we are the same core capabilities with ai agents so... i developed an open source solution for that (currently supporting claude code) would love to…

Aether▲26Since coding agents like Claude Code and Codex came out, I've been pretty obsessed with them. It's hard not to when you're getting a 20x discount on inference. I've also been frustrated by them a lot. I hated walking around with my laptop lid open while connected to a hotspot on my phone, having to tediously accept commands so I don't lose my root directory, and running out of RAM when running multiple agents that were spinning up dev servers in different worktrees at once. A lot of people would say existing cloud agents are the solution to this, as none of the above problems apply to any…

Moshi▲38I built an iOS app to interact with coding agents from my phone. Most remote solutions I've seen require installing a server or relay on your machine. Moshi is just an app — SSH/Mosh into your Mac/PC/Sandbox and you're done. The use case isn't really "I need to get back to my computer." It's more like: - I'm curious how the agent is doing on that refactor - I want Claude Code to research something for me (it knows my codebase, unlike a fresh chatbot) - I have an idea and want to tell the agent before I forget I just type what I want — or speak it. Whisper transcribes locally,…

I built Relay around a simple idea: many of us have an unused PC server at home, or a VPS dedicated to AI-assisted coding, but the coding agents running there are still tied to that machine’s terminal, I just don't want to ssh/rdp into it every single time. Relay brings Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and Hermes into one interface that you can access from your phone, browser, or another computer. Sessions stay alive, so you can start work on one device and continue from another. You can upload/download files from the server, also if you are on subscription, you see your quota usage…
