Host an always-on AI dev environment
The Cloud (thecloud.so) is an AI-native workspace and operating system: your memory, pages, apps, and agents live in one always-on place that any AI can read and act in over MCP. The always-on part is physical too — attach your own machine with MachineSync, and agents run on it whether or not you are sitting at it.
What always-on means here
The workspace itself runs in The Cloud: memory, pages, apps, and agents stay reachable from any device, all the time. The compute is yours: you attach a machine once, and it stays connected in the background — the daemon starts at login, keeps itself alive, and survives restarts. An agent run does not live in a terminal session you have to keep open. Dispatch from your phone, and the work happens on the machine you attached.
Attach a machine
Pairing is one step: open the Attach machine screen in The Cloud, get a one-time code, and run the installer on the machine. It installs a small daemon in your home directory — no sudo — plus the Claude agent CLI, and registers itself to stay connected. A Claude Max login signs the agent in with your existing claude.ai account; no API key is needed. Today the machine you attach is a Mac, Apple Silicon or Intel, with a signed and notarized app.
Dispatch agents from anywhere
From your phone, your laptop, or the web, hand an agent a task. The Cloud sends it to your paired machine, where a real coding agent works autonomously until the task is done — through to the pull request it opens on a connected repo. Merging always stays with you. Runs default to Claude, or run free on the machine's own local model when you want no metered ceiling.
Watch and steer, live
Every run shows up in the Agents view, tagged with its machine and its current task. Open a run to steer it, stop it, or read the full transcript afterward. Nothing is a black box.
Keep it running on a schedule
Recurring work becomes a Loop: a prompt plus a cadence — interval, cron, or when a machine is idle — aimed at a repo, a Space, a Studio app, or a task. Each Loop carries its own model, write policy, and budget, so an always-on environment stays a governed one.
Start here
Get a pairing code from the Attach machine screen in MachineSync, then run the installer on the Mac you want attached:
curl -fsSL https://www.thecloud.so/machinesync/install.sh | sh -s -- --code <pairing-code>
The machine appears live in the Agents view, ready to run its first agent.
