About exe.dev

exe.dev is a service for spinning up persistent Linux virtual machines in seconds, reached over SSH with root access, Docker, and a public HTTPS address. Machines are sold as a pool of capacity rather than per machine, so one plan can run many VMs, and coding agents such as Claude Code and Codex come preinstalled alongside its own Shelley agent. Disposable per-second-billed sandboxes serve short agent runs.
