Honest comparison
Omnara mirrored Claude Code and Codex to your phone through a daemon on your machine, and now builds a managed-agent platform instead. Pushary is a lighter control plane: readable decision data stays minimal, synced transcripts are encrypted before they leave for the owner's phone and documented compliance recovery, and every decision is on record.
Omnara now describes itself as the open-source alternative to Claude Managed Agents. Its blog calls the remote coding app its previous product, and the iOS app is no longer in the App Store. If you used Omnara to approve Claude Code or Codex from your phone, Pushary covers that part: it hooks the agent, holds risky calls while it asks your phone, and records every decision.
Omnara's earlier app was built for a full IDE-grade mirror of your agent on your phone, with parallel worktrees, voice, and cloud failover. Omnara no longer offers it. If you want author-once guardrails, an exportable audit trail, and your code to stay on your machine, Pushary is the better fit.
Omnara mirrored Claude Code and Codex native permission prompts and asked you to approve each one. Pushary lets you author the rules once: auto-approve safe reads, push on Bash, escalate git push, always deny rm -rf. The phone only buzzes for the decisions that matter, and the rule sticks across sessions and machines.
To mirror the session, Omnara's earlier app ran a daemon that kept an outbound connection to its servers and sent session content, including code and diffs, to its backend. It was not end-to-end encrypted. Pushary keeps its readable decision path to the question text and tool name. Pushary-launched transcripts are redacted and encrypted on your machine before sync; authorized Pushary compliance admins can recover an exact session for a documented legal obligation.
In Omnara's earlier app you could delete any conversation at any time, and the team said it did not yet hold SOC2 or ISO certifications. Pushary keeps an immutable, attributed, exportable log of every question and human decision across every agent and machine. That is what a team lead or compliance owner can actually rely on.
Omnara's earlier app was a richer remote-control surface: a full real-time session mirror, parallel git worktrees, two-way voice, and the option to fail over to a cloud sandbox if your machine dropped offline. Pushary makes the lighter bet: decisions and policy, not a full mirror.

Omnara moved from its remote coding app to an open-source managed-agent platform, which it calls the open-source alternative to Claude Managed Agents. Its blog now calls the app its previous product, and the iOS app is no longer in the App Store. The current platform has a $0 platform fee and pay-as-you-go usage.
Omnara (YC S25) now calls itself the open-source alternative to Claude Managed Agents, a platform for deploying agents on any model and machine. Before that it was a command center for coding agents: mobile apps, a web dashboard and a CLI that mirrored Claude Code and Codex sessions through a daemon on your machine, so you could steer them from anywhere. Omnara's blog now calls that its previous product, and its iOS app is no longer in the App Store.
Omnara's earlier app streamed your full session, including code and diffs, to its backend so you could watch and steer it from anywhere. Omnara now builds a managed-agent platform instead. Pushary keeps the readable decision path to the question text and tool name, redacts and encrypts Pushary-launched transcripts before sync for the owner's phone and documented compliance recovery, lets you set per-tool policies once, and keeps an exportable audit trail. Omnara mirrored. Pushary governs.
Yes. Omnara's current managed-agent platform is open source under Apache-2.0 in the omnara-ai/omnara repository on GitHub. Its earlier remote coding app is no longer offered.
With Omnara's earlier app, yes. Omnara's team said that tool calls sent pieces of your codebase to their backend for cross-device sync, and that it was not end-to-end encrypted. Pushary's readable decision path sends only the question text and tool name. Pushary-launched transcripts sync after local redaction and encryption for the owner's phone and documented compliance recovery; you can disable sync on the agent machine.
Omnara's earlier app stored conversation history for sync, but you could delete any conversation at any time, which is the opposite of an immutable audit log, and the team said it did not yet hold SOC2 or ISO certifications. Pushary keeps an immutable, attributed, exportable record of every question and every human decision.
Set your guardrails once, approve from your phone, and keep an exportable audit trail. Synced transcripts are redacted and encrypted before they leave your machine for the owner's phone and documented compliance recovery. Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Hermes, and any MCP client. 3-day free trial.
