About

Omnara is a control surface for AI coding agents like Claude Code and OpenAI's Codex, letting developers start a session in the terminal on their laptop and pick it back up from a desktop app, browser, phone, or Apple Watch without losing context. Agents run on the user's own machine or a remote VM they control, accessible from anywhere without SSH, port forwarding, or tunneling, and if the laptop goes offline Omnara can keep the session alive in the cloud so work continues . The product is aimed at engineers who want their coding agents to keep moving while they are away from their desk, with support for parallel agents, worktrees, Git diffs, and a full terminal view. This launch matters for two reasons. The previously paid tier (around $20 per month) is now free for everyone, and the native desktop app is shipping alongside the existing web and mobile clients, consolidating what had been a fragmented set of entry points into one interface. For founders and operators evaluating where the agentic coding stack is heading, it is a signal that the orchestration layer above CLI tools like Claude Code and Codex is commoditizing quickly. Omnara is a YC S25 company founded by Ishaan Sehgal and Kartik Sarangmath. Sehgal previously worked as an AI infrastructure engineer at Microsoft, where he built and led Kaito, an open source AI tooling project , with earlier stints at Roblox and in machine learning roles, while Sarangmath's background includes ML research and engineering work at Meta AI and ThirdAI.

killing the $20 sub the same week the desktop drops is a flex. either you found a new revenue line or you're about to find out what free users want for breakfast.

going free is great for adoption, brutal for the P&L. either there's an enterprise tier in the wings or the runway math just got spicy.

Priya Raghavan4/29/2026

ok but does the desktop app expose a local socket I can hit from my own scripts? rate limits on agent orchestration would also be nice to see in the docs.

Lukas Tomić4/29/2026

the watch app is the part nobody asked for and that's exactly why I respect it. babysitting Claude from my wrist is peak 2025.

Marisol Vega4/29/2026

tweet copy is tight. three short lines, one product reveal, no fluff. someone on the team actually edits.

Adaeze Okafor4/29/2026

command center across desktop, web, mobile, watch is four surfaces to keep in sync. curious which one breaks first when Claude ships a breaking change.

Dieter H.4/29/2026

we built something nearly identical for internal tooling at my old shop in 2019. ours had no users and no watch app, so you're already winning.

every coding agent wrapper is a bet that the model providers won't ship the UI themselves. bold bet. respectable bet.

Fenwick O.4/29/2026

tagline rewrite, on the house: "your AI coding agents, everywhere you are." yours is functional, mine is sellable.

Noah Berenger4/29/2026

how many people on this team? if it's under five I'm going to need a postmortem on how you keep four platforms from drifting.

Yuki Tanabe4/29/2026

the launch tweet has a weird shape. big claim, big reveal, then a bare link. would love to know if the engagement skewed to the kill-the-sub line or the desktop drop.

Dre Valdez4/29/2026

if you want a designer who has shipped multi-surface apps, I know one looking. happy to intro before you outgrow the current UI.

Olek Sawicki4/29/2026

agent wrapper TAM is shrinking. Anthropic and OpenAI both have native UIs cooking and they're not going to leave this surface to third parties forever.
