pi.dev has it. https://pi.dev/packages/pi-claude-code-provider is the plugin you need to install and everything goes through claude subscription

Is claude code or codex subscription supported by pi?

onorca.dev. I used herdr before now Orca has fully replaced it. (I'm not affilianted with Orca in any way except I use it every day). Orca also supports separate hosts. My setup Orca running in my Mac. Orca running in my home proxmox lxc (orcabox). I have few different projects, Rails, PHP, etc. In Orca, I open these projects and point it to my local folder as well as the folder remotely.

I usually start a codex or claude session on the remote host, close my mac, even restart Orca desktop on mac, but when I start Orca, I can watch the Orca on my remote host working through.

It's similar to Claude remote session, but just easier to manage, easier to create worktree, easier to navigate, open multiple tabs etc.

Silly that the error message doesn't convey that, right? I recently got added to a company's Teams account as a guest. I do a bit of software contract work and have used Slack with no issue until now, this is what Teams show me:

- Client says they added me already, but I have no email with an invite. Turns out I didn't have an account that had previously joined Teams with a personal account.

- But even after I created a teams account, due to the order of events (added to corp account as guest, then created a teams account), I still don't have access and need to be readded.

- I can't upload images on groups because I don't have OneDrive access, WTF?

- I cannot download transcripts of meetings I join because I don't have permission.

How bad can a software be? Really?

Onorca.dev is very similar but has a desktop UI that I prefer to herdr. I find it easier to work with. Being UI, it has markdown reader, a native browser integration, linear or github built in integration. So working with multiple different unrelated projects feels natural. Go to linear, select a ticket -> start in X workspace, go to github, select an issue and start in Y workspace.

The limitation of Orca or Herdr is that they don't have integration for multi project work. Here is what I wanted

Telegram/OpenClaw → Single Linear Account Control plane with multiple projects → route each task to be completed and PRs open for review across multiple repos.

This is where Cyrus helps. You setup labels and routing so cyrus knows which gitrepo to build worktrees from, and the labels can help you pick up the right model (codex-sol/astro or claude-opus/fable). This has helped me be more hands off.

So I use both Orca and Cyrus. Cyrus for automation (telegram ingress) vs Orca if I want anything hands on.

Worth giving onorca.dev a try. That already supports this with nice UI. Also atcyrus.com is interesting to delegate tasks too.

It applies to speed too. The project paves way for more optimization at many layers overtime.

Me and partner are both on iPhone 14 Pro. And this is more than powerful and sufficient for our daily use, except the battery is around 82%. I'd happily replace the battery right now for a more powerful one.

I actually quite enjoy the OpenClaw. Although the recent CC crackdown has caused me to try different LLM providers which aren't that reliable but anyways, here are few things I do with it, in all separate groups.

* Telegram Health Group, created an agent to help me track sleep, recommend my supplements based on my location, remind me in the morning and evening to monitor my food. I send it images of what I eat and it keeps track of it. * Telegram Career Group, I randomly ask it to find certain kind of job posts based on my criteria. Not scheduled, only when I like to. * Telegram Coder Group, gave it access to my github account. It pulls, runs tests and merges dependabot PRs in the mornings. Tells me if there are any issues. I also ask it to look into certain bugs and open PRs while I'm on the road. * Telegran News Group, I gave it a list of youtube videos and asked it to send me news every day at 10am similar to the videos.

So far, it's a super easy assistant taking multiple personas. But it's getting a bit painful without CC subscription

Which mount do you have? I've got a 24" as well and I've never imagined I'd fit 2 monitors.

Nice. One more benefit of this is when using LLM tools like Claude Code or Codex to do something and run tests on a worktree, this solution would work seamlessly.
