The goal is zero workflow disruption. I want to be able to run CLI coding agents on any internet connected computer, and control them with my phone. Happy has a command line wrapper for Codex and Claude Code that let you start a session in your terminal, and then continue it from your phone with real time sync.

There is an optional voice agent some contributors have been hacking on that lets you talk to the voice agent first, and the voice agent then writes prompts for Codex/Claude Code and answers questions about what the coding agent running on your computer is doing/did. The voice agent feature is pretty neat, but in my opinion needs a bit more iteration, so any ideas or help would be awesome.

In Ask HN: What are you working on (September 2025)?
Counterpoint: don't blame the founder for leading with driving use cases. It's audience selection bias, not the founder being reckless. He's showing what gets traction, not necessarily what he thinks people should actually do I'm contributing to a similar open source coding tool [1] and I see the same skewed reaction: voice control of "whatever" while driving gets 5-10x the clicks of any other demo. There's a logical reason so many people think of voice control while driving. It's not because they're reckless. It reflects the hierarchy of needs. People with long commutes (often younger, lower-paid engineers living further out) spend 2+ hours driving daily. This is their biggest time sink, so of course they think about making it productive. When you're living far out for cheap housing and hear "coding while driving", its easy to think: fin

ally, a way to get ahead without choosing between career growth and seeing my family. Again, I think its just an off-the-cuff reaction, not actually what people will do. Just like people try your app and tell you its amazing but then never pay. Doing stuff while driving just sounds nice until you know... you think about it for 3 seconds and yeah, its bad idea.

In Shipping 100 hardware units in under eight weeks
Hey, you mentioned needing a web UI for your agent. I contribute to Happy Coder, an open source agent client (mobile app, desktop app, and web app). The project is just a UI layer for existing agents. Adding Codex specific UI and plumbing last week was a 2,600 line diff that took a contributor 3 evenings. And it should be even less plumbing for the next agent. I'm looking for developers to try integrating their agents and tell me what's broken or awkward. I'd appreciate feedback on where the abstractions leak or what's missing. Even with the friction of using someone else's codebase, it could be less work than starting from zero. I keep seeing these proprietary clients charge $50/month for basically the same plumbing everyone needs. Selfishly I would like open source and free to win this category here.

In Incident Report for Anthropic
I contribute to the Happy Coder app https://github.com/slopus/happy (MIT License) I've gotten a lot of use out of Claude Code in the past few months. The big problem for me is struggling to stay on top of multiple sessions in parallel. I know that all the cool kids on twitter have all these AI employees and agents farms... A lot of its probably bullshit, but directionally its clear that tooling will absorb some fraction of my workload. I know I need to push myself to have 2 or 3 balls in the air. But without push notifications to know when Claude Code needs permissions or input, I end up "wasting" time a lot. So having an app that sends discrete push notifications to my watch is pretty nice. Oh, and before I forget, I'm pretty excited by the Voice Agent feature another contributor is working on https://x.com/giaccoangelo/status/1960550007

272300964 You talk to a voice agent, then voice agent talks to Claude Code. The voice agent acts like a buffer for me to ramble and gather my thoughts. Then the voice agent writes the prompt for claude code when I'm ready. So that unlocked walk and code for me. Now as I walk to the train from the office, I can dump some of the brain ideas into Claude Code plan mode, and they'll be waiting for me in the morning. Plus I've been using plan mode more and more.
In Ask HN: What are you working on (August 2025)?
I've been contributing to an open source mobile app [1] that takes two swings at offering something that Roo does not have. 1. Real-time sync of CLI coding agent state to your phone. Granted this doesn't give you any new coding capabilities, you won't be making any different changes from your phone. And I would still chose to make a code change on my computer. But the fact that it's only slightly worse (you just wish you had a bigger screen) is still an innovation. Making Claude Code usable from anywhere changes when you can work, even if it doesn't change what you can do. I wrote a post trying to explain why this matters in practice. https://happy.engineering/docs/features/real-time-sync/ 2. Another contributor is experimenting with a separate voice agent in between you and Claude Code. I've found it usable and maybe even nice? The voice

agent acts like a buffer to collect and compact half backed think out loud ideas into slightly better commands for Claude Code. Another contributor wrote a blog post about why voice coding on your phone while out of the house is useful. They explained it better than I can. https://happy.engineering/docs/features/voice-coding-with-cl... [1] https://github.com/slopus/happy

Show HN: Happy Coder – End-to-End Encrypted Mobile Client for Claude Code

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 phone when you leave. Nothing changes, nothing breaks. * Actually private - Full E2E encryption, no regular accounts. Your encryption keys are created on your phone and securely paired with your terminal. We protect our infra, not your data (because we

literally can't see it). * Hands-free is the future - This was the fun one. We hooked up 11Labs' new realtime SDK so you can literally talk to Claude Code through GPT-4.1 while walking around. Picked 11Labs because we can configure it to not store audio or transcripts. The mobile experience turned out pretty great - fast chat, works on everything (iPads, foldables, whatever), and there's a web version too. It's free! The app and chat are completely free. Down the road we'll probably charge for voice inference or let you run it client-side with your own API keys. Links to apps iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/happy-claude-code-client/id674...
