Show HN: Chatcode – Remote Control for Claude Code and Codex

A developer has released Chatcode, an open-source tool that provides a universal layer for persisted agentic sessions, allowing users to remotely control AI coding assistants like Claude Code and Codex via a web interface or Telegram. The tool requires a locally installed gateway to function, raising potential trust and privacy concerns, but the creator notes it can be used on any machine and is free to start. The developer used Chatcode to build itself during development, demonstrating its practical application.

Hey HN,

what I wanted to build here is a proper universal layer for persisted agentic sessions, that could be seamlessly interacted both via web and a messenger (Telegram). I really like what's done so far and would be nice to hear some feedback from you.

The interesting thing is that I started to use Chatcode during its development as soon it was possible, so used this tool to build itself.

I know that there could be trust/privacy concerns, because it relies on a gateway that you need to install on your machine in order to work, but: 1. You can use it on any machine, just have some test VPS for that 2. I really believe you will love it as soon as it fits your needs! And it's free to start BTW.

Anyways, looking forward to your questions/suggestions.
