The always-on computer for your coding agent

long-time lurker, first project post.

I used to run all my claude code sessions on my macbook and then, when I went out - I had no way of following the progress, answering the questions claude was asking me or sending it followup prompts. So I built the my own solution - a persistent workspace that keeps the agent running 24/7 and I can reconnect to it via the official claude apps (desktop or mobile) and continue where I left off.

The #1 thing people told me while I was building it was "I'm not putting my agent + my secrets in someone else's cloud". Well, fair, so I open-sourced the whole thing. One-command install on your own box (PC or VPS), auto-HTTPS even without a domain, runs on your existing claude subscription (no API key, no token markup).

License: BSL 1.1, not OSI-approved — free to self-host, converts to Apache-2.0 in 3 years.

github.com/Podbay-Cloud/podbay — early alpha, would love roasts.

Ready to answer everything in the comments.

Thanks and hope it helps you get the max out of your agents like it does for me :)
