    Epho▲156

    Hey folks, Burak here. Epho is an API that allows running Claude Code, Codex or Opencode in a sandbox in the cloud. It abstracts away sandboxes, and allows running coding agents with a single HTTP request. Epho came out of our own struggles with building our own AI analyst: - Sandboxes give you bare machines; you need to configure them for agentic workloads. - Each agent behaves differently, and you need to build integrations with each of them. - Sandbox providers are not very reliable, which means you need to figure out a multi-provider strategy to avoid failures. - Logging, artifacts,…

    Moshi▲38

    I 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 kept hitting Claude's 5-hour limit without realizing it, so I made this menu bar app to track it. Shows a color-coded ring (green/orange/red) and countdown to reset. Built it in Swift/SwiftUI, just for myself initially. Right now you have to manually grab your sessionKey from browser DevTools, which is annoying but works. Stores it in macOS Keychain so it's secure. Been actively working on it, already at v1.3.0 with much better UX now. It's open source (MIT) and works with all Claude platforms (web/CLI/desktop/mobile) since they share the quota. Currently…

    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 •…

    Hi HN, i am Dimitris, I have been using Claude Code and Codex agents, for some time now from the beggining i had been using them from inside my terminal mainly for coding. For the past 3 years i kept building so i have a homelab and a business server, which already has a lot of vms, so a lot of things to manage. So i decided to start building my own ideal version of using claude code, and codex flexibly and connect them easily with all my vms and infra but at the same time keep using them for coding, and as a personal assistant for daily use. So for the past months I built OtoDock. Its a…

    Hey HN! I built Retain as the evolution of claude-reflect (github.com/BayramAnnakov/claude-reflect). The original problem: I use Claude Code/Codex daily for coding, plus claude.ai and ChatGPT occasionally. Every conversation contains decisions, corrections, and patterns I forget existed weeks later. I kept re-explaining the same preferences. claude-reflect was a CLI tool that extracted learnings from Claude Code sessions. Retain takes this further with a native macOS app that: - Aggregates conversations from Claude Code, claude.ai, ChatGPT, and Codex CLI - Instant full-text…

    Hey all! Few weeks ago we realized AI models are now so good you don't need to babysit them anymore. You can kick off a coding task at lunch and Claude Code just... works. But then you're stuck at your desk steering it. We were joking around - wouldn't it be cool to grab coffee and keep chatting with Claude from your phone? Next thing you know, 4 of us are hacking on weekends to make it happen. Dead simple to try: "npm install -g happy-coder" then run "happy" instead of "claude". That's it. We had three goals: * Don't break anyone's flow - Use Claude Code normally at your desk, pick up your…
