Get your agents off your laptop

Twinbox is a cloud copy of your computer, already set up like yours. Your agents, test runs and renders work there, and keep going when your laptop sleeps.

Runs Omarchy: Arch Linux and Hyprland, in the cloud

Your project is copied to your twin, and stays in sync.

Your laptop stays fast. Agents, test runs and renders use the twin's CPU and GPU, not yours.
It is already set up. Your projects stay in live two-way sync. CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, skills, hooks, MCP servers and your logins come too.
Close the lid and the work goes on. Jobs keep running when your laptop sleeps or goes offline.
Any agent can use it. Claude Code and Codex get the Twinbox MCP server at setup. They can run commands, see the screen, move files and start long jobs.
A GPU when you need one. Add an NVIDIA T4 for a render or a model, and open the 60 fps desktop from your Mac or PC.

A GPU desktop opens in a Moonlight window. 60 fps, clipboard in both directions, and text sized to suit you.

Desktop access: Mac, PC, iPad and iPhone via Moonlight. iPad pairing is not yet verified. Platform details

Omarchy, in the cloud

Every twin runs Omarchy: Arch Linux with the Hyprland tiling desktop, set up for developers from the first boot. Open it at 60 fps from your Mac, PC or iPad, or never open it and let your agents use it.

Keyboard first. Hyprland tiles every window, so the desktop is as fast as your hands.
Tools in place. Neovim with LazyVim, lazygit, lazydocker, Docker, btop and Chromium, ready on first boot.
22 themes. Tokyo Night, Catppuccin, Gruvbox, Kanagawa, Nord, Rosé Pine and more.
Arch underneath. A rolling release, with pacman and yay for anything else you need.

Keys travel directly from your computer to your box over SSH, with owner-only permissions. Twinbox does not store them in a central service. Machine-specific OAuth logins are approved on the box.

Any other file or folder

Bring a model, a dataset, or any file you need. twinbox push <path> copies it to the box without adding a live sync link.

Give your agent a computer of its own

Claude Code and Codex get Twinbox’s MCP server automatically when you run twinbox setup. They can run commands, install tools, see the screen, and work in your synced projects.

Start a background render or build on the box. It keeps running when your laptop sleeps.

Your twin answers only to you

Each box has its own firewall, open only to your own IP addresses. The shell, your files and sync travel over SSH. The desktop streams over Moonlight, paired with a PIN. Both are encrypted end to end, so there is no VPN to install.

Memory costs keep rising. Gartner expects DRAM and SSD prices to rise 130% by the end of 2026, and PC prices 17%.
Pay only when you use it. Park the twin between jobs and it costs only its disk.
Nothing to replace. Your twin runs on current cloud machines. No hardware to own, repair or resell.
Keep the laptop you have. The heavy work moves to the twin, so the laptop you own feels fast again.

Prices from apple.com and nvidia.com on 12 Oct 2026; RTX 5090 desktops from about $4,000 in retail listings. Gartner forecast of 26 Feb 2026. Twin costs come from the calculator below: Singapore, 100 GB disk, parked when not in use, no desktop streaming. A T4 has less memory than a DGX Spark, so a twin suits heavy jobs you run now and then, not all-day model training.

One credit is one minute of the smallest box (CPU-S) at the base rate. Hours shown are in Singapore without streaming. Unused plan credits carry over one month. Top-ups never expire and work with or without a plan. GPU sizes need a card on file.

A 30-day month. The box runs for your hours on your days, and parks the rest of the time. Park with twinbox stop.

One credit is one minute of CPU-S at the base rate. Bigger sizes use more credits a minute (CPU 1, 2, 4, 8; GPU 5 and 7.5), and each location has its own multiplier (1 to 1.65). A running minute includes the disk. Parked boxes pay for their disk only. Streaming the desktop is metered per GB sent; agents working on their own stream nothing. Rates from our cloud costs on 11 Oct 2026.

Streaming assumes about 5.8 GB per hour at 20 Mbps, measured on a real box. Boxes run in Singapore today; other locations in this calculator are estimates for later. Auto-park is not built yet, so park with twinbox stop. For agents, builds and renders, twinbox up --saver makes a Saver box at half the running credits: the cloud can pause it, and it starts again by itself with its disk kept. At zero credits, running boxes stop. A box that stays at zero for 7 days is deleted with its disk, after two emails.

Good questions

The things you should know before you twin.

Can I try it for free?

Yes. A new account gets 1,000 credits, once, for the CPU sizes. No card. That is about 12 hours of CPU-S in Singapore. GPU sizes need a card on file: a plan or any top-up.

Do credits expire?

Plan credits you don’t use carry over one month, then expire. Top-ups don’t expire. When you spend, the credits that expire first go first.

Does my code leave my laptop?

Yes. Linked projects sync to your own cloud box over SSH. Your local copy stays on your laptop. Sync is two-way, and the laptop wins conflicts. Dependencies, caches, and root build output are excluded. The Git directory is synced, so avoid running Git on both machines at the same time.

What happens when I close the lid?

The box stays on. Background jobs started on it can keep working. File sync and clipboard sync wait until your computer reconnects. Closing your lid does not park the box or stop its running usage.

Mac, Windows, Linux… and an iPad?

The CLI runs on macOS and Linux; the installer sets it up in one line. The cloud desktop runs Omarchy Linux. Moonlight clients are available for Mac, PC, iPad, and iPhone; iPad pairing remains untested here. Add a phone or iPad’s network with “Allow this device” in the dashboard.

Where do boxes run?

In Singapore for now. Each box has its own firewall that lets in only your IP addresses. More locations come later; the calculator shows what they would cost.

Does every agent tool come across?

Twinbox copies the agent files that exist, rewrites home paths, and installs known tool dependencies. Mac-only applications, laptop-local MCP servers, and tools without an install recipe may be skipped and are listed. Some services require a separate OAuth login on the box.

Do I have to copy login codes?

No. twinbox login opens twinbox.dev in your browser; you check the code and click Connect. On the box, GitHub’s code is placed on your clipboard automatically, and Claude uses an SSH tunnel back to its browser callback, with a code fallback only if that port cannot be forwarded.

How do I stop using credits?

Credits pay for running minutes, parked disk, and desktop streaming. twinbox stop parks the machine, leaving only disk usage. Auto-park is not built, so park it yourself. twinbox down deletes the box and its disk after you type its name to confirm. At zero credits, running boxes stop. A box that stays at zero for 7 days is deleted with its disk, after two emails.
