Orbs

A computer for your AI agent.

Move Claude Code or Codex off your laptop. Each orb is a private Linux VM that sleeps when you go quiet and wakes the moment you SSH back in.

Which agent do you run? (optional)

One email when your orb is ready. No spam.

$ orbs new

$ ssh k7f2

# close your laptop. k7f2 keeps working.

Your laptop was never meant to be an agent's server.

It stops when the lid closes

Sleep, a dropped connection or a flat battery ends the session, and the task with it.

It shares your machine

An agent with shell access runs next to your personal files, keys and signed-in accounts.

It eats your resources

A browser-driving agent takes your RAM, fans and battery while you are trying to work.

Three steps, then walk away.

  1. Create an orb

    orbs new gives you a Linux VM with Claude Code, Codex, Docker and Chromium already installed.

  2. Connect the way you already do

    Plain SSH, VS Code Remote, scp and rsync. Bring your own model keys and pay your provider directly.

  3. Walk away

    After 10 quiet minutes the orb goes to sleep and compute billing stops. Your next SSH wakes it.

Built for agents that work while you don't.

Sleeps without losing your place

When an orb resumes, your tmux sessions and running processes are right where you left them.

One VM per orb

Hardware-isolated, with root. Nothing shared with other users.

Files that persist

Your home folder and Docker data live on a persistent volume, so they are always there.

Honest about cold starts

If a resume isn't possible, the orb boots fresh with every file intact and tells you it did.

Never sleeps mid-task

An agent waiting on a model call keeps its orb awake. Need longer? Run orbs awake 2h.

Private by default

No public ports. Only your SSH keys can reach, or wake, your orbs.

Pay for the seconds it runs.

Prepaid credit, billed per second. No subscription.

Running

$0.05 per hour

2 vCPU and 4 GB RAM, with Claude Code, Codex, Docker and Chromium installed

Asleep

$0 compute

Storage only, at $0.20 per GB-month

Expected launch pricing. It may change before launch, and the waitlist hears first.

Questions

Is this just a VPS?

Close to one, with two differences. An orb sleeps when it's idle, so you stop paying for compute, and it wakes on your next SSH connection.

Which agents can I run?

Claude Code and Codex come installed. Anything that runs on Linux works too, including OpenClaw, your own scripts and Docker containers.

Do I bring my own API keys?

Yes. You pay your model provider directly. Orbs only charges for the computer.

What happens when an orb can't resume?

It starts fresh. Your files, Docker images and SSH host key are kept, but running processes are not, and you'll see a note saying so when you log in.

Can an orb run a bot that answers around the clock?

Yes. An open connection keeps an orb awake, so a bot stays online. It bills as running the whole time.

When can I get in?

We're inviting the waitlist in small groups. Join and you'll get one email when your orb is ready.

Get an orb before everyone else.

Early members get first access and help shape what Orbs becomes.
