Turn any computer into cloud devboxes for coding agents

Run secure, isolated VMs across your own machines and cloud accounts. Connect them all over one private network.

Rather not run hardware? We host devboxes, too.

Running lots of coding agents gets messy fast.

So we built cloud devboxes for coding agents. Then users kept asking to run them on machines they already had.

Why cloud devboxes?

  • Isolated by default

    Every agent gets its own VM, so several work side by side without touching each other or your stuff.

  • Secrets stay secret

    VM-level isolation keeps secrets and your everyday workspace out of reach.

  • Always on

    Agents keep working, and you check in from your laptop or phone.

  • Start from anywhere

    Drive agents and VMs by API and CLI from Sentry, Linear, Slack, or your own scripts.

  • Easy to share

    Send teammates a private HTTPS preview URL instead of copy-pasting screenshots or asking them to git pull your branch.

Why on your own machines or your own cloud?

  • Save money

    Run agents on hardware you already paid for.

  • Use your cloud credits

    Run sandboxes on your AWS, GCP, etc. and spend the credits you already own.

  • Stay inside your VPC

    Keep agents in your VPC, where you control and audit access.

  • Use special hardware

    Run GPU evals on GPU hosts, and large data jobs on machines colocated with the data.

Think Tailscale meets Kubernetes (but simple!) for agent sandboxes.

Add any machine, and Amika slices it into isolated VMs and puts every one of them on a private network you and your teammates can reach.

What you can do with Amika.

Add any machine

Add a Mac Mini, a desktop, or EC2 in your VPC, and Amika slices it into isolated VMs so several agents work side by side.

For examplePut the Mac Mini in your closet to work running three Claude Code sessions at once.

Reach VMs from anywhere, with any app

SSH in, open private HTTPS preview URLs with your teammates, or connect from apps like Cursor or Codex.

For exampleKick off an agent from your laptop, edit changes in Cursor, then open its preview URL from your phone.

Run agent swarms across machines

Split work into parallel tasks, or send heavy builds and tests to a beefier box.

For exampleGPU evals land on the GPU host, and private tests run next to your services.

Control everything by API and CLI

Create devboxes and prompt agents programmatically, so tasks start wherever your work starts.

For exampleKick off an agent from a Sentry alert, a Linear issue, a Slack message, or your own scripts.

Bring the agents you already pay for

Use Codex, Claude Code, or OpenCode with your existing subscriptions. We charge for compute, not tokens.

For exampleRun Claude Code in one VM and Codex in another on the same machine.

Boot ready to work

Start each VM with repos, credentials, files, and services already in place, so agents get straight to work.

For exampleLaunch a devbox with your repo checked out, agent credentials available, and a dev server running.

FAQ

How do you run VMs on a Mac?
We use smolmachines today, and we’re adding support for nono and sandbox-less agents.
Why not just Tailscale and Docker?
VM-level isolation instead of shared-kernel containers, secrets kept away from agents, and one control plane that manages your sandboxes and lets you reach them remotely.
Do I have to run my own hardware?
No. If you’d rather not run hardware, we host devboxes too.
Is it open source?
The core is: github.com/gofixpoint/amika.
What does it cost?
Amika is free for teams of 3 or fewer on your own machines or cloud accounts. See pricing for hosted devboxes and larger teams.
