Happier is an open-source, end-to-end encrypted companion app for AI coding agents: Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Cursor, Pi, Grok, Gemini, Copilot, Qwen, Kimi, Kilo, Kiro, Auggie. Run sessions on your computer, and continue them from your phone. Use our desktop app or web app, and truly start working from anywhere. YOUR EXISTING SESSIONS? ALREADY THERE. Open any Claude Code, Codex or OpenCode session running on your computer — live, from your phone. Nothing to migrate, nothing to learn. APPROVE FROM ANYWHERE Your agent asks to run a command and you get a push notification with Allow and Deny on it. Sessions waiting on a decision rise to a "Needs attention" group at the top of your list; everything still running gathers under "Working". REVIEW THE DIFF. SEND NOTES TO YOUR AGENTS. Browse every line your agent changed. Mark the exact lines you want addressed, choose which notes to send, and hand them straight back — same session, or a new one. EDITOR. GIT. TERMINAL. ONE TAP AWAY. Chat, files, Git and a live terminal, each its own tab. Open a file to read or edit it, review the diff, manage branches and open a pull request. YOU LOVE THE TERMINAL? WE DO TOO. If you want, you can keep running Claude Code, Codex or OpenCode in their native TUI. Happier mirrors them to every device, so you can follow along, send messages and approve permissions from anywhere — and switch between the terminal and Happier whenever you like. A COLLEAGUE YOU CAN TALK TO The voice assistant watches every running session. Brainstorm the next change, approve a permission or send a message, without picking up the phone. YOUR SESSIONS WORK AS A TEAM A session can start another session, send it messages and read its transcript — so a Claude session and a Codex session can split the work between them. Each one still runs its own subagents, on whichever backend you choose. USE THE SUBSCRIPTIONS YOU ALREADY PAY FOR Happier reuses the subscriptions and logins your existing CLIs already use — Claude, Codex, Cursor, Gemini, OpenCode. No new bill, no double billing, and Happier sells no AI of its own. POOL YOUR ACCOUNTS. KEEP THE SESSION GOING. Link accounts you own into a pool and watch usage and quota resets for every one of them in the app. Nothing switches until you build a pool — once you have, Claude Code and Codex sessions can change account without stopping, moving to whichever member has the most quota left, at most once a turn and never past a reset time the provider has published. OPEN SOURCE. END-TO-END ENCRYPTED. Your messages, prompts and session content are encrypted on your device before they reach a server: AES-256-GCM under a key drawn for that one session, sealed to an account key that is created on a device and never leaves your devices. The relay stores ciphertext and has nothing to open it with. Put the relay on your own hardware with one command — happier relay host install — or reach your computer over Tailscale and use no relay at all. FREE, AND MIT LICENSED The CLI, the mobile apps, the desktop app, the web app and the relay. No seat count, no trial, no feature gate. github.com/happier-dev/happier HOW TO START 1. On your computer: curl -fsSL https://happier.dev/install | bash (Windows: iwr https://happier.dev/install.ps1 -useb | iex) 2. Scan the QR code your terminal prints, with this app. 3. Start a session from the app, or run "happier claude" or "happier codex" in your terminal. REQUIRES A COMPUTER Happier is the client for agents running somewhere you control. It does not run an agent in the cloud, and your repository is never copied to us: the agent reads and writes files on the computer it runs on, and that computer stays the only full copy. Not affiliated with, or endorsed by, Anthropic, Google, GitHub or Cursor.

Your agents run on your computer. Your phone tells you when they need you. AgentsRoom is the remote control for the AI coding agents running on your Mac, PC or Linux machine. It requires the AgentsRoom desktop app and at least one coding CLI installed there with its own account: Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, Cursor and ten more. Nothing runs on the phone itself. You start, watch, answer and steer from wherever you are, over an end-to-end encrypted link. WHAT YOU NEED - A Mac, PC or Linux machine with the AgentsRoom desktop app installed and running - At least one coding CLI on that machine, with its own account or subscription - This app, paired once with a QR code Without the desktop app, only cloud agents are available, if your account includes cloud minutes. NEVER LEAVE AN AGENT WAITING - Push notification when an agent finishes, fails or needs a decision, then answer in one tap - Read the live output, approve, reply, send the next prompt - Dictate a prompt instead of typing it, on-device or server transcription - Share a screenshot or a file from any app straight into an agent - Write a message now and have it sent later 14 CODING CLIS, ONE REMOTE - Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, OpenCode, Aider, Grok, Mistral Vibe, Kimi, Amp, oh-my-pi, Freebuff, Devin - Pick the provider and the model for each agent, switch either mid-conversation without losing context - Several agents in parallel, across several projects - 14 roles: Architect, Full-Stack, Frontend, Backend, Mobile, DevOps, QA, Security, PM, Brainstormer, Marketing, Git, SEO, i18n, plus hundreds of experts in the catalog and custom roles with your own system prompt - Morph a running agent into another role and keep the conversation ALL YOUR MACHINES IN ONE APP - Pair your Mac, your PC and your Linux box, switch between them in one tap - See which machines are online before you start anything CLOUD AGENTS - Send a task and a disposable cloud machine runs it, commits and pushes a branch - Works with every computer of yours switched off - Uses the cloud minutes of your account TERMINAL, SSH, DATABASES, GIT - A real terminal on your machine, with tabs, from your phone - Open the SSH connections saved on your desktop and work on your servers - SQL console on MySQL, PostgreSQL and MongoDB: read-only, capped results, and the password never leaves the desktop - Review the diff of what an agent changed, commit and push - Start and stop your dev servers, read their output live - Secret references your agents can use but never read PROMPTS, SKILLS, BACKLOG AND TEAMS - Your prompt library and agent skills, in your pocket, editable, sent to an agent in a tap - Kanban board: move a ticket to In Progress and an agent picks it up - Public backlog for teammates and clients, Idea Radar that sorts raw feedback by theme - Launch a team of agents that hand work to each other, and follow every step - Scheduled and webhook triggers, edited from the phone, run by the desktop STAY IN THE LOOP - Live preview: publish your local dev server on a public HTTPS address and share the link - Chat with your team: mentions, replies, reactions, attachments - Usage bars per provider and token usage per session PRIVACY BY DESIGN - Pairing by QR code, X25519 key exchange, XSalsa20-Poly1305 encryption - The relay never sees your content, and you can self-host it - Database and SSH passwords stay in your computer's keychain, never on the phone HOW IT WORKS 1. Install the AgentsRoom desktop app on your Mac, PC or Linux machine, next to your coding CLI. 2. Scan the QR code with your phone, or pick your machine from the list. 3. Start, watch and steer your agents from wherever you are. AgentsRoom is an independent product, not affiliated with Anthropic, OpenAI, Google or any CLI vendor. Running agents on your own machine requires the AgentsRoom desktop app for macOS, Windows or Linux and your own CLI subscription. Cloud agents run without them.
