Show HN: Catnip – Run Claude Code from Your iPhone Using GitHub Codespaces
Show HN (score: 6)Description
Under the hood it spins up a GitHub Codespace, installs Claude Code, and connects the iOS client to it securely. You can use a full terminal when needed, or a lightweight native UI for monitoring and interaction.
I built this because Claude Code is most useful when it has access to a persistent environment with plugins, tools, and real repos — and I wanted that flexibility away from my laptop.
GitHub gives personal users 120 free Codespaces hours/month, and Catnip automatically shuts down inactive instances.

Show HN: Control Claude permissions using a cloud-based decision table UI
Show HN: Control Claude permissions using a cloud-based decision table UI We’ve been building visual rule engines (clear interfaces + API endpoints that help map input data to a large number of outcomes) for a while and had the fun idea lately to see what happens when we use our decision table UI with Claude’s PreToolUse hook.<p>The result is a surprisingly useful policy/gating layer– these tables let your team:<p>- Write multi-factor, exception-friendly policies (e.g. deny rm -rf / when --force; allow cleanup only in node_modules; ask on network calls like curl/wget; block kubectl delete or SQL DROP, each with a clear reason)<p>- Roll out policy changes instantly (mid-run, flip a risky operation from allow → ask; the next attempt across devs and agents is gated immediately– no git pull, agent restart, or coordination)<p>- Adopt lightweight governance that is somewhat agent agnostic and survives churn (MCP/skills/etc)- just add columns/rules as new tools and metadata show up<p>- Get a quick central utility to understand which tools are being used, which tools get blocked most often, and why
Show HN: Claude Code Scheduler
Show HN: Claude Code Scheduler I found myself frequently wanting to schedule tasks in Claude Code (both one-time and recurring) so I built a CC plugin to help with that.<p>To install: /plugin marketplace add jshchnz/claude-code-scheduler /plugin install scheduler@claude-code-scheduler<p>Then just tell Claude what you want (some examples):<p>Every Wednesday at 3am find dead code: unused functions, unreachable branches, commented-out code, and unused imports. List by file with line numbers.<p>Schedule a code review every weekday at 9am. Review commits from the last 24 hours, check for bugs, security issues, error handling gaps, and code that needs comments. Summarize with file:line references.
