catnip

Is anyone running Claude in a GitHub Codespace container? There was this HN post[0] last week on a tool for automatically shutting down the codespace container when idle. [0]https://github.com/wandb/catnip

Hi HN — I built Catnip, an open-source iOS app that lets you run Claude Code against a real development environment from your phone. Under the hood it spins up a GitHub Codespace, installs Claude Code, and connects the iOS client to it securely. You can use a full terminal when needed, or a lightweight native UI for monitoring and interaction. I built this because Claude Code is most useful when it has access to a persistent environment with plugins, tools, and real repos — and I wanted that flexibility away from my laptop. GitHub gives personal users 120 free Codespaces hours/month, and Catnip automatically shuts down inactive instances.

Congrats on the launch! Recently I gave Catnip a try and it works very smoothly. It works on web via GitHub workspaces and also has mobile app. https://github.com/wandb/catnip How is this different?

I'm using Catnip (https://github.com/wandb/catnip). It runs Claude Code in YOLO mode inside a Docker container, and also manages multiple Claude instances running in Git worktrees. I'm pretty happy with it but would be happier if it addressed limiting network access to guard against exfiltration.

I've been using Catnip for this: https://github.com/wandb/catnip Very similar features, Catnip is Claude Code specific and does everything in a Docker container so you can more safely run in YOLO mode and the Git worktrees don't make a mess on your host filesystem or checkout. Also is mobile responsive which is cute.

I recently started using Catnip (https://github.com/wandb/catnip) for this. Catnip also automatically manages multiple Git worktrees, and has a responsive UI for mobile.
