Why Aider needs its own machine

Aider edits files, runs tests, installs packages. It needs a machine that stays on.

Sessions that never die

Aider can refactor a large codebase over hours. Your laptop sleeps. Codespaces times out. Unix Shells keeps your session alive indefinitely.

Everything pre-installed

Git, Docker, every language runtime, databases, build tools. Aider can use any of them without asking you to install first.

Access from anywhere

SSH from any terminal. Web terminal in a browser. Mobile app. Your session keeps running whether you're watching or not.

How it works

Sign up and get a shell

Pick a plan. Your VM boots from a memory snapshot in seconds. 200+ tools are already there.

SSH in, clone your repo, run `aider`

Aider is pre-installed via pip. Set your API key and point it at your codebase. Setup guide

Close your laptop. Come back later.

latch keeps your session alive across disconnects, reboots, and network changes. Check in from your phone on the train.
