This product was not featured by Product Hunt yet. It will not be visible on their landing page and won't be ranked (cannot win product of the day regardless of upvotes).
One CLI summons a beefy hourly-billed dev machine in your own cloud account, over your private net, with your workspace already on it — and reaps it when you walk away.
I built this primarily for my own usage but wanted to share here in case other folks find it useful. I wanted a way to spin up a devbox with existing state on my projects, tell an agent to go do something, and close my laptop.
It's backed by the Hetzner API, with profile.toml files that dictate what gets installed on the box (I have examples for my setup which includes a pi.dev agent pointing to OpenRouter and some repos) and keep.toml files which dictate which files the box reaper should watch. I'm planning on adding AWS + other providers that have demand.
BYOK, with no hosted option currently. Much more in the README!
