Run Claude Code on a real Linux machine

Persistent sessions. 200+ tools pre-installed. SSH in from anywhere. Check on your agent from your phone. $12/mo flat.

Why Claude Code needs its own machine

Three problems, solved.

Sessions that never die

Claude Code runs for hours. Codespaces times out after 30 minutes. Your laptop goes to sleep. Unix Shells keeps your session alive indefinitely.

Everything pre-installed

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

Access from anywhere

SSH from your terminal. Open the web terminal in a browser — it uses Mosh over WebTransport, so it feels local even on slow connections. Check in from the mobile app. Your agent keeps working 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 or use the web terminal, run `claude`

Standard SSH from any client. Or open a browser tab. Claude Code is pre-installed. Set your API key and go. Setup guide

Close your laptop. Come back later. It's still running.

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

~/project

claude "refactor the auth module to use JWT"

reading src/auth/...

installing jsonwebtoken... done

rewriting middleware... 4 files changed

updating tests... 12 assertions added

running test suite...

All 47 tests passed.

Refactored auth to JWT. Changed session middleware, login/register

handlers, and all route guards. Tests updated and passing.

Close the tab. SSH back in tomorrow. The session is exactly where you left it.
