Agent workspace · Cloudroom Inc. (Delaware corporation per terms and privacy pages); founder David Ondrej
Cloudroom
Desktop app plus Apache-2.0 Rust core that, per the vendor, runs coding agent CLIs on your Mac or in per-thread cloud sandboxes, each on its own Git branch, with Teleport moving a thread between the two for four harnesses.
Cloudroom review
Cloudroom is a desktop app that, per its README and docs, runs coding agent CLIs such as Claude Code and Codex on your machine or in cloud sandboxes. We read the vendor's site, docs, README and GitHub repository and release data. We did not install or run it, so nothing here comes from hands-on use.
The founder is David Ondrej, and the terms name Cloudroom Inc., a Delaware corporation. The repo, davidondrej/cloudroom, was created in September 2026 and showed about 1,600 stars on 2026-11-12.
How the cloud side works
The docs say each cloud thread gets its own Linux sandbox and Git branch and keeps going after you close the laptop. Teleport moves a thread, with its conversation and queue, between your Mac and the cloud. The docs add that agents call their model providers directly, and that Cloudroom charges only for cloud compute, as monthly Cloud Credits.
The pricing page says local threads are free. Free includes 3,000 credits a month, and the docs call about 100 credits a typical hour. Pro is $50, Super $150 and Ultra $500 a month (seen 2026-11-12). The repo is licensed Apache-2.0, and the README says its Rust core can be installed on an Ubuntu 24.04 server.
Limits the vendor's own pages state
- Teleport covers only four harnesses: Claude Code, Codex, Pi Agent and OpenCode.
- Agents run without approval prompts, and with Mac access on, cloud agents can read files and run commands on your Mac.
- A self-hosted core is meant for one trusted user. The self-hosting guide lists GPUs, computer use and phone access while your Mac is off as Cloudroom Cloud only.
- Release v150 ships Apple Silicon macOS, Windows x64 and Linux x64 builds, and its notes say the Windows installer is unsigned.
- The pages disagree on how many harnesses exist.
If you only need parallel agents on your own hardware, see Jean. Cloudroom's home page table also names Orca and Conductor.
Facts: platforms, price and licence
- platforms
- macOSWindowsLinuxRelease gui-v150 (2026-11-11) ships macOS Apple Silicon (dmg/zip, macOS 13+), Windows x64 (exe; docs say Windows 11, needs Git for Windows; release notes say the installer is not signed yet) and Linux x64 (AppImage; docs say Arch and Ubuntu should work but are not fully tested; no ARM64 Linux build yet). Phone access is through a web app at cloudroom.dev/m added to the Home Screen; no App Store or Google Play listing was seen on the pages read; the security page also mentions a 'Cloudroom mobile app' without naming a store. The self-hostable core targets Ubuntu 24.04.
- price
- FreemiumPricing page and FAQ (seen 2026-11-12): Free $0 with 3,000 Cloud Credits a month; Pro $50/month with 50,000; Super $150/month with 150,000; Ultra $500/month with 500,000; plus a Business option via 'Talk to Founder'. Cloud Credits pay only for cloud sandbox compute (docs: about 100 credits for a typical agent hour); local agents are free on every plan; per the vendor, model usage stays on your own Claude or Codex plan or model accounts with no markup. Paid plans can buy top-ups (+50,000 for $50, +100,000 for $100).

Cloudroom strengths
- Apache-2.0 repo containing the desktop app and the Rust core (README also notes an MIT notice for BB, which the app is built on); the README says the core can be installed on your own Ubuntu 24.04 server with a documented installer
- Docs say each cloud thread gets its own Linux sandbox and Git branch and keeps running when the laptop is closed; Teleport moves a thread between Mac and cloud for Claude Code, Codex, Pi Agent and OpenCode
- Docs say agents sign in with your own accounts and call model providers directly, that Cloudroom bills only for sandbox compute through Cloud Credits, and that local threads are free
- Docs list Local worktrees, child threads on any harness, scheduled automations, a room-cli command line tool, and the README lists an HTTP API for the core
Cloudroom weak points
- Teleport works for only four harnesses; other harnesses cannot move between Mac and cloud yet (docs)
- Security page and README: agents run without approval prompts; the security page says they have admin rights in their sandbox, and with Mac access on cloud agents can read files and run commands on your Mac; the self-hosting guide says a self-hosted core is meant for one trusted user per machine
- Self-hosting lacks GPUs, cloud loops, computer use, the Cloud environment settings and phone access while the Mac is off, which are listed as Cloudroom Cloud only
- Release builds are macOS Apple Silicon, Windows x64 and Linux x64 only; the Windows installer is unsigned and Linux is described as not fully tested; the repo was created 2026-09-17 and the app is already at v150, so it is very new
- Vendor pages disagree on harness counts (README: 7 harnesses; about page: 9 local and 6 cloud; docs and FAQ: 11 local and 10 cloud)
Who Cloudroom is for
- best for
- Developers who run several coding agent CLIs and want some of them to keep working in cloud sandboxes after the laptop closes, with an open-source core they can self-host.
- look elsewhere if
- Anyone who needs a general-purpose terminal emulator or SSH/SFTP client (none described on the pages read), a native iOS or Android app (none seen), or approval prompts before an agent runs commands.

Not verified
- Whether the app works without a Cloudroom account: the home page says 'No account needed' while Get started says to create an account and log in; the self-host guide says no account is needed when connecting your own core
- ssh, sftp, tabs, split_panes, port_forwarding, jump_host, x11_forwarding, serial, telnet, mosh, cloud_sync, team_sharing not stated on pages read; a terminal is mentioned in threads but it is not an SSH client
- mobile_app left null: only a home-screen web app at cloudroom.dev/m was described; the cloudroom.dev/m page itself and any App Store or Google Play listing were not opened or found
- Whether 'web' counts as a platform: phone access is via a web app, but no desktop-browser build was seen, so web is not listed
- Exact current count of supported harnesses: README, about page, docs and FAQ give different numbers
- Business plan price not published ('Talk to Founder'); Ultra purchase triggers an onboarding questionnaire per the privacy page
- Old repo name cloudroom-core confirmed only by GitHub redirect; no page read states the rename date or reason
- Headquarters: about page says Poland while terms and privacy give a Wilmington, Delaware address for Cloudroom Inc.
- Home page figures about agents started, GitHub contribution uplift and comparisons are vendor-authored and were not verified or used
- No hands-on testing by us; all facts are from vendor pages and the GitHub API
- Counts disagree further: docs/local-threads says Local threads run 10 harnesses, docs/harnesses says 11 local and 10 cloud, about says 9 local and 6 cloud, README says 7
- Admin rights in the sandbox: security page and FAQ say agents have full admin rights inside their sandbox, the README Security list says agents run as a separate Linux user with no admin rights; not reconciled (self-host vs hosted not stated)
- Whether the 'Cloudroom mobile app' named on the security page is only the home-screen web app at cloudroom.dev/m or a separate store app
- Vendor claims (sandboxes keep running when the laptop closes, no markup on model usage, credits per hour, Teleport behaviour, local threads free) are from vendor pages and were not tested
- Pricing is paid-plan pricing seen 2026-11-12 and may change
