HolyCode Cloud — a cloud AI workstation with 60+ tools already installed

Always-on · suspends when idle · wakes in ~1 second with your sessions still running

A cloud AI workstation with 60+ tools already installed

Claude Code, Codex, Gemini and OpenCode on the same Linux box as Postgres, Playwright, Jupyter, pandas, pandoc and ffmpeg. Root on your own machine, a disk that keeps your work, reachable from any browser. Not a session that gets reclaimed — a computer that is still yours tomorrow.

A real session, recorded on the machine

[ ~ ]<br>A real Linux box<br>Root on your own VM, your own persistent home & workspace — not a sandbox or a thin web IDE.

[ x6 ]<br>Six agent CLIs, preinstalled<br>Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, OpenCode, Cursor and Pi on your PATH from first boot. Sign in and go.

[ :// ]<br>Reachable from any device<br>It's a browser tab. Start a run at your desk, check it from your phone on the train.

[ 1s ]<br>Persistent + instant resume<br>Suspends when idle, wakes in ~1 second with every file and process where you left it. One honest edge: after days idle the platform may cold-start instead — closer to a minute, files untouched.

[ >>> ]<br>Parallel agents, unlimited projects<br>Run as many sessions as your machine takes, overnight, while your laptop sleeps.

[ key ]<br>BYOK — we're not an AI provider<br>Your Claude/OpenAI/Gemini key stays on your box. We host compute; you're never double-charged for AI.

The loadout<br>Your agent stops asking to install things

An agent on an empty box spends its first twenty minutes running apt and npm. This one boots with the toolchain already there. Every name below resolves as a command on the machine you get.

The obvious question<br>Why not just use Claude Code on the web?

Often you should. It's free with Pro, Max and Team, there's no separate compute charge for the VM, sessions survive a closed browser, and you can watch them from the Claude app. A few agent tasks a week on a GitHub repo? That's the right tool, and this page won't pretend otherwise.

We're not selling you an agent. We're selling you the machine it lives on. Same plan, same key, same Claude Code — your rate limits are between you and Anthropic either way, and nothing here changes them. What changes is what the agent is standing on: their VM is a session that gets reclaimed, this is a computer that's still yours tomorrow, with three other agents already on it.

Claude Code on the web

This box

The machine

Cloud sessions stop after a period of inactivity and the session's VM is reclaimed. You reopen to a fresh VM with your conversation history restored.

The same machine every time. What you install stays installed. Root, and a disk that's yours.

Agents

Claude.

Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, OpenCode, Cursor and Pi. Six preinstalled, all on your PATH.

Pushing code

Repository cloning and pull request creation require GitHub. Other hosts can be sent up as a bundle, but that session can't push results back to the remote.

Your box, your remotes. GitLab, Bitbucket, a bare repo on a server you own.

Network

Network access is limited by default.

Open network.

and what we don't do is written down too — a hard restart ends running sessions, and

there are no backups: what survives what →

Pricing<br>Flat monthly. No meter. No surprise bills.

Pick your horsepower. Every plan is the whole product — you upgrade for more machine, never to unlock a feature.

You already pay for the agent: Claude Pro is $20 a month, Max starts at $100 . This is the machine it runs on, from $19 — about 63&cent; a day. Same...
