What people warn about
Each mark is one comment
Too expensive for what it does
“Feels expensive for something that an engineer can hack in a couple of ours with tailscale and Claude Code.”
Comment from 12 Feb 2026 in “Launch HN: Omnara (YC S25) – Run Claude Code and Codex from Anywhere” “$20 per month for a service that runs CC on a remote machine in a convenient matter is steep but doable.”
Comment from 12 Feb 2026 in “Launch HN: Omnara (YC S25) – Run Claude Code and Codex from Anywhere” “feels hard to justify $20 a month for what looks like considerably less features than openchamber”

Easy to clone or replicate
“This project seems like a good idea that didn't have enough of a moat.”
Comment from 12 Feb 2026 in “Launch HN: Omnara (YC S25) – Run Claude Code and Codex from Anywhere” “Just shows that AI has advanced so quickly that it is easy to clone YC startups to zero.”
Comment from 12 Feb 2026 in “Launch HN: Omnara (YC S25) – Run Claude Code and Codex from Anywhere” “Just seems like a feature that Anthropic/OpenAI could release any day.”

Doesn't use end-to-end encryption
“The lack of E2E encryption was why I didn't chose Omnara.”
Comment from 12 Feb 2026 in “Launch HN: Omnara (YC S25) – Run Claude Code and Codex from Anywhere” “they seem to proxy all your conversations”
Comment from 12 Feb 2026 in “Launch HN: Omnara (YC S25) – Run Claude Code and Codex from Anywhere” “That means you don't have E2EE, period.”
Comment from 13 Feb 2026 in “Launch HN: Omnara (YC S25) – Run Claude Code and Codex from Anywhere” Unclear what it adds over alternatives
“I don't quite see the appeal, because Claude Code already supports something similar.”
