Figures from each repo's GitHub metadata at analysis time.
Requires installing both the mobile or web app and a separate command-line tool on your computer to wrap around your existing AI agent.
Happy Coder lets you control AI coding tools like Claude Code and Codex from your phone, tablet, or web browser, not just from your computer terminal. If you've ever kicked off a coding task using one of these AI agents and wished you could step away to grab lunch or commute while still keeping an eye on what it's doing, this tool is designed for that. It sends push notifications when the AI needs your permission to run a command or when it hits an error, so you can respond from anywhere. The setup involves two pieces. You install the mobile app on your phone or use the web app, and you install a small command-line tool on your computer. Instead of typing claude or codex to start your AI agent, you type happy or happy codex. The tool wraps around the existing AI agent and connects it to the mobile app. When you want to control things from your phone, the session switches to remote mode. When you're back at your keyboard, pressing any key on your computer hands control back to the desktop. Security is a notable focus. The connection between your phone and your computer is end-to-end encrypted, meaning your code is never readable to the project's servers while in transit. The project is also open source with no telemetry or tracking, so you can inspect exactly how it works. The people who would use this are developers or founders who already use AI coding agents like Claude Code or Codex and want the flexibility to step away from their machines. For example, if you start a long-running code generation task and head out for coffee, you can still grant permissions or check progress from your phone. There's also an experimental "full auto" mode that skips permission prompts entirely, though the README is clear that you should use it with caution since it lets the AI run any command without your approval. The project is built in TypeScript and split into three parts: the mobile and web client, the command-line tool, and a backend server that handles the encrypted sync between devices. It's available on iOS, Android, and the web.
