Your private VM
Ubuntu 24.04
Full SSH access
Your tools and files stay here between sessions.
One server. Three ways to connect.
The same VM, repositories, and tools. Choose how you work.
SSH from your terminal
Add your SSH key and connect from the terminal you already use. Full shell access to your own machine.
Open in your IDE
Keep your editor and shortcuts. Open the server in VS Code, Cursor, Devin and Zed over SSH, with direct links from the dashboard.
Use the web terminal
Open your dashboard and start typing. Terminal tabs and a file explorer, with no local setup or SSH key needed.
A terminal in your pocket
Bring your agents out with you.
A critical outage interrupts dinner. Open the terminal on your phone, ask Claude Code or Codex to investigate with the tools and access you configured, and review a fix through your normal pull request workflow. Or use a spare moment to get a small feature ready for review.
It feels like your local terminal because you are using the same CLI tools, shell, and project files on a real computer. The VM does the work. Your phone is your way in, with extra terminal keys for the smaller keyboard.
Set up on your computer. Pick up on your phone.
First-time setup is easier on a computer while you connect GitHub and sign in to your agent subscriptions. Then open the same server and select your existing terminal session from your phone.
Layerbase is a PWA you can add to your home screen, with an internet connection required for terminal access. There is no native mobile app. We are continuing to improve the mobile experience during beta.
Take your first session mobileCodex / checkout-fix

The fix is ready to review. No production changes made.
Your favorite agents. One place to work.
Install the tools you want. Sign in with your own accounts. Switch agents without moving your project. Any compatible Linux CLI can run on your VM, even without a dashboard installer.
- Claude Code
- Codex
- OpenCode
- Devin
- Cursor
- Grok Build
- Gemini CLI
No agent subscription? Install OpenCode and choose an available free model. Free model availability and limits can change. You can also use Cursor CLI, Devin CLI, Gemini CLI, or Grok Build. Devin Desktop is the editor formerly called Windsurf; here you use the CLI. Agent subscriptions, API charges, and provider limits are separate from your server subscription.
A place to pick up where you left off
Your laptop can take a break.
Your server stays ready.
Stop rebuilding your setup every time you change computers. Your private Linux machine holds the environment. Your browser gives you a way in.
Set up at your computer
Connect GitHub, choose your repositories, and sign in to your agent accounts. First-time setup is easier with a desktop browser and keyboard.
Give your agent the context
Drop in a design or screenshot. Browse project files, read the changes, and make a quick edit alongside the terminal.
Come back to the work
Close the tab, switch to your phone, and reconnect to your existing terminal session. Your server runs independently of your laptop.
Sessions persist while the server is running. Agents may need your input; reboots and stopped machines interrupt running tasks.
BRANCHES AND WORKFLOW
Give supported agents the same branch and pull request instructions.
Built around your projects
Different agents.
The same ground rules.
Connect the repositories you choose, set your branch workflow, and write shared instructions. Give each agent the context to work the way your project works.
- Choose which GitHub repositories are accessible
- Use separate worktrees for parallel branches
- Share project instructions across supported agents
A real development machine
All your tools. Room to make it yours.
Ubuntu 24.04, with Node.js 24, pnpm, Docker, and Git ready to go. Install your project dependencies, run development services, and keep your setup between sessions.
Work accounts here. Personal accounts there.
Keep a work VM signed in to your work agent accounts and a personal VM signed in to your own. Select the repositories each server can access. Separate terminal tabs alone do not separate account credentials.
Room for your next branch
Connect the GitHub repositories you choose. Use separate worktrees for parallel tasks, so each branch has its own working directory.
Your rules, across your agents
Write your project rules once in the dashboard. The server adds them to the instruction files used by each supported agent.
A browser when you want it. Your editor when you need it.
Add your SSH key and connect from any terminal, or open the server straight from VS Code, Cursor, Devin and Zed with one link.
From idea to first task
Make yourself
at home.
- 1. Choose your server.
Start on a computer for easier GitHub and agent sign-in. Pick a size and location. Machine setup usually takes 5 to 8 minutes. - 2. Bring your project and agent.
Connect GitHub, install a supported agent, and sign in. - 3. Open the terminal and build.
Start with a task you can review. Later, open the server on your phone and select the same session.
Agent Server pricing

FAQ
A few things to know before you start
Can I use my agents from my phone?
Yes. Connect GitHub and your agent accounts on a computer first, where setup is easier. Then open Agent Servers on your phone and select an existing terminal session. Layerbase is a PWA you can add to your home screen, not a native mobile app. Terminal access requires internet, and mobile usability is continuing to improve during beta.
Are Layerbase databases still free?
Yes. Layerbase has a free managed database tier with no credit card required. Each Agent Server has its own subscription for a development machine. You do not need to buy a server to create a free database, or buy a paid database plan to use a server.
What happens when I close my browser or laptop?
Your terminal session stays on the running server, so closing the tab or disconnecting your laptop does not end it. Return from another browser and reconnect. An agent can still finish, fail, or wait for input; stopping or rebooting the server interrupts running processes.
What is a Layerbase Agent Server?
A private Linux server that belongs to you, running Ubuntu 24.04, with Node.js 24, pnpm, Docker and Git ready to go. Your coding agents run there with your repos and tools instead of on your laptop.
Which coding agents are supported?
Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Devin, Cursor, Grok Build and Gemini CLI. Account requirements vary by agent. Use a supported subscription or API key, or start with free models in OpenCode.
Do I need a separate subscription for the agents?
Your server subscription pays for the machine, not agent usage. Depending on the tool and model, you can use a supported subscription, an API key with separate usage charges, or a free option such as the free models in OpenCode. Provider account requirements and limits still apply.
How does billing work, and what happens when I cancel?
Each server is a monthly subscription that renews until you cancel. Stopping a server does not pause billing. When you cancel, the server keeps working until the end of the period you paid for. After access ends, the server and its files may be permanently deleted, so push your code and export anything you need before then.
What does beta and the early adopter program mean?
Agent Servers are a development preview. People use them every day, but you may hit occasional bugs or downtime, features may be added, changed or removed, and there is no uptime SLA during the beta. By purchasing a server you join our early adopter program, described in the Agent Servers section of our Terms of Service at layerbase.com/terms. Keep your own backups of anything important, such as by pushing your code to GitHub.
Is there a terminal in the browser?
Yes. Every server has a Terminal tab in the dashboard with a real shell, no SSH key needed. Sessions keep running when you close the tab. You can drag in or paste images, PDFs and text files, up to 20 MB each and 5 at a time, and the file path is typed for your agent.
What are the three ways to connect?
Use SSH from your terminal, open the server in your IDE, or use the web terminal in your dashboard. Add your SSH public key for terminal and IDE access; VS Code, Cursor, Devin and Zed have direct open links. The web terminal needs no SSH key. All three connect to the same machine, repositories, and tools.
How does GitHub access work?
Install the Layerbase GitHub App and choose which repositories the server may reach. They are cloned under ~/dev, and you can change the selection later.
How do I get started?
Sign in to Layerbase, open Agent Servers in the dashboard, pick a size and a location, and check out. Setup usually takes 5 to 8 minutes.
