Show HN: Detach – Mobile UI for managing AI coding agents from your phone
salvozappa Sunday, March 15, 2026Hey guys, about two months ago I started this side-project for "asynchronous coding" where I can prompt Claude Code from my mobile on train rides, get a notification when it's done and then review and commit the code from the app itself.
Since then I've been using it on and off for a while. I finally decided to polish it and publish it in case someone might find it useful.
It's a self-hosted PWA with four panels: Agent (terminal running Claude Code), Explore (file browser with syntax highlighting), Terminal (standard bash shell), and Git (diff viewer with staging/committing). It can run on a cheap VPS and a fully functioning setup is provided (using cloud-init and simple bash scripts).
This fits my preferred workflow where I stay in the loop: I review every diff, control git manually, and approve or reject changes before they go anywhere.
Stack: Go WebSocket bridge, xterm.js frontend, Ubuntu sandbox container. Everything runs in Docker. Works with any CLI AI assistant, though I've only used it with Claude Code.
