What is this?
HAPI lets you run official Claude Code, Codex, Cursor Agent, Grok Build, OpenCode, Kimi, Copilot, Antigravity, Pi or DeepSeek Harness coding-agent sessions on your machine and then control them remotely from a web browser, PWA, or Telegram Mini App.

Yes — HAPI documents self-hosted setups using Cloudflare Tunnel or Tailscale as alternatives to the built-in relay.Is my session data encrypted when I connect remotely?Yes — the relay connection uses WireGuard plus TLS, encrypting your data end-to-end from your device to your machine.
