I’ve been SSHing into my dev server off of my phone to run Claude Code while commuting, so this is a product that I would love to switch to. I can’t use the Claude iOS app due to the testing set up I have. That said I do have a couple of questions:

- Is it possible to completely disable or not use the remote sandbox features? I would never use them and would prefer my code stays on my device.

- For those of us that are using subscriptions, does it show our remaining usage? I would hate to run out of tokens in the middle of a session.

- One feature of the CC TUI I sorely missed on mobile is the ability to look up and directly reference files via “@“. Is any functionality like this planned?

- (This likely won’t affect my decision to use the service as I’ll just put it on a company card.) $20 per month for a service that runs CC on a remote machine in a convenient matter is steep but doable. Asking that same amount for a running code on my own server seems a bit unjustified, especially since this is pricier than the cost of a Claude pro subscription. Are there any plans to offer a cheaper tier for those of us that just want to run this on our own machines?

Awesome, that's the exact reason we built this!

Yes, the remote sandbox feature is disabled by default, and you have to manually enable it for the syncing to start.

For those of us that are using subscriptions, does it show our remaining usage? I would hate to run out of tokens in the middle of a session.

Currently Omnara doesn't show your usage limits, you would have to check that at claude.ai. I'll look into add that though.

One feature of the CC TUI I sorely missed on mobile is the ability to look up and directly reference files via “@“. Is any functionality like this planned?

Yes, this exists in Omnara already!

That's a good idea, we'll think about doing this where we don't offer sandbox + voice, and just have the messaging service.
