First time guide

Welcome! You can log in at https://access.anothercomputer.co. We're in very early beta, so please excuse some of the UI mess. Here are a few tips for your first session.

Creating a computer

Create a new computer by naming it and pressing "Create computer".

Each new computer is a normal Linux VM. A few things are preinstalled:

• claude
• bun - for running and building apps
• git
• chromium - this is so your Claude Code can take screenshots of the websites you work on

What to use it for

We're really excited to see what you use this for. We use it for things like:

• Inventory trackers - personal lists (movies to watch, gym sessions) and work things like inventory logs... the stuff that used to be Excel
• Trip/travel planning - a custom Caltrain app, an itinerary shared with friends for a Japan trip, etc.
• Hermes/OpenClaw - a place to install them (see the Hermes guide)
• 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. The goal is to get rid of Google Docs... but also give people and teams agency.

Sharing and viewing computers

It's really easy to share and view computers.

If you start a computer named new-computer, then visiting new-computer-<PORT>.another.ac will get you to that private port. Only you and the people you've shared the whole computer with can see these ports.

You can choose to share only HTTP access to your computer, privately.

Or you can choose to share full access with anyone on the internet by making a public link.

Custom domains/URLs are coming soon.

For reference, you can also review the beta pricing and limits.

Happy computing!
