Features

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Every session comes fully loaded, so you spend time coding, not configuring.

AI Agents

The models purpose-built for coding tasks. Ready the moment your session starts.

File Browser

Drop files in, pull files out. Browse your workspace in the dashboard. No CLI needed.

Git Integration

Pre-configured Git with GitHub/GitLab. Push, pull, branch, out of the box.

Pre-installed Tools

Node, Python, Docker, and 50+ dev tools ready. No setup, no config files.

Code From Any Device

Full terminal and editor in your browser. Laptop, tablet, or phone. No setup, no install.

Resume Anywhere

Start a session at your desk, continue from the gym, finish at a café. Your AI keeps coding wherever you are.

Pricing

Pick your hours. Buy your sessions.

Every session is a 1-hour block. Pick the time window that fits your schedule. Pay less for off-peak.
