Hapi

Hapi is a local-first remote-control shell for official coding CLIs. Rechecked 2026-08-17: github.com/tiann/hapi had 4,778 stars, license AGPL-3.0. README says it runs Claude Code, Codex, Cursor Agent, Grok Build, OpenCode, Kimi, Copilot, Antigravity, and Pi locally, then hands the session to a Web / PWA / Telegram Mini App. It is not its own frontier model and not a Happy rename. The repo calls itself a local-first alternative to Happy. We found no public dollar table on hapi.run.

Compare Happy if you wanted the slopus/happy client, Claude Code or Codex CLI if you wanted the wrapped agents themselves, and OpenCode or Kimi Code if you already live in those CLIs.

Key Features

• Wraps official agents: Native-first copy says it does not replace the terminal agent. Same session, optional remote handoff, no restart.
• Install is npx, not a vibe SaaS: README starts with npx @twsxtd/hapi hub --relay and npx @twsxtd/hapi. The terminal prints a URL and QR code. hapi server is an alias.
• Relay is named: WireGuard + TLS end-to-end encryption on the bundled relay. Self-host options point at Cloudflare Tunnel or Tailscale in the install doc.
• AFK approvals and voice: Phone tap to approve, built-in voice assistant, optional workspace browser via hapi runner start --workspace-root.

Use Cases

• People who already pay for Claude Code or Codex and want phone control without leaving the official CLI.
• People comparing Hapi vs Happy after they see the "Why not Happy" doc.
• People who will self-host instead of a hosted coding agent.

Limitation: Homepage HTML is a client-rendered shell with almost no static pricing text. We did not invent a Pro seat. Agent quality is the wrapped CLI's quality.

Pricing

github.com/tiann/hapi and hapi.run on 2026-08-17.

If a leftover blog still sells Hapi as a priced vibe-coding SaaS, treat this table as the source.

Getting Started

1. Run npx @twsxtd/hapi hub --relay, then npx @twsxtd/hapi.
2. Scan the QR code or open the printed URL.
3. Recheck Happy if you wanted that client instead.
4. Do not invent a Hapi monthly seat.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Hapi a new coding model?

No. It wraps official CLIs you already have.

Same as Happy?

No. The README says it is a local-first alternative and points at docs/guide/why-hapi.md.

Is there a $20 Pro plan?

Not on the public pages we opened.

Alternatives

• Happy: slopus/happy mobile/web client for Claude Code.
• Claude Code: The Anthropic CLI Hapi can wrap.
• Codex CLI: OpenAI's terminal agent, also on the wrap list.

Tips

1. Quote AGPL-3.0 and 4,778 stars from the GitHub check.
2. Quote the wrap list, not a new model name.
3. Recheck Happy before you treat Hapi as the only remote client.

Conclusion

Hapi is an AGPL local shell around official coding CLIs, not a priced vibe-coding model. Start at github.com/tiann/hapi, then decide whether Happy or the wrapped CLI already covers the remote loop you need.
