What is Another Computer?

Another Computer gives you full Linux computers in the cloud, as many as you want, for one flat subscription. Have an idea, name a computer, and a few seconds later you have a real machine to build on.

Each computer is a normal Linux VM. It is not a sandbox that resets, and not a locked-down app platform. You get a file system, a terminal, an editor, and web hosting, and you own your data and everything inside. There is no vendor lock-in: it is Linux, so anything that runs on Linux runs here.

What do people use it for?

Anything, really, but a few favorites:

  • Inventory trackers - personal lists (movies to watch, gym sessions) and work things like inventory logs... the stuff that used to be Excel
  • Trip and travel planning - a custom Caltrain app, an itinerary shared with friends for a Japan trip
  • Personal AI agents - a place to install things like Hermes or OpenClaw and keep them running around the clock
  • A dev box - instead of doing it on your local computer
  • A conversational computer - save API keys and then solely use Claude Code or Codex to conversationally compute against 3rd party software
  • Interactive proposals - share sales proposals as rich HTML rather than static docs, instead of yet another Google Doc

What comes preinstalled?

Every new computer starts with a few tools ready to go:

  • claude - so you can build conversationally with Claude Code from the first minute
  • bun - for running and building apps
  • git
  • chromium - so your Claude Code can take screenshots of the websites you work on

Bring your own AI models and API keys, or just start typing.

How does sharing work?

Sharing is the fun part. If your computer is named new-computer, then anything it serves on a port is instantly reachable at:

new-computer-<PORT>.another.ac

No deploy step: localhost is automatically proxied to the internet. These URLs are private by default, visible only to you and the people you have shared the computer with. From there you choose how open to be:

  • Private HTTP access - share just the website, not the machine
  • Full access - collaborators get the whole computer
  • Public link - anyone on the internet can see it

Custom domains and URLs are coming soon.

What does it cost?

Another Computer starts at $20/mo per user, with resources pooled across your computers. See pricing for the beta limits.

How do I start?

Log in at https://access.anothercomputer.co, create your first computer, and see where it takes you. If you want a concrete first project, try installing Hermes.

Happy computing!
