workbench

workbench provides a free cloud terminal: an always-on container you can access from any terminal client and any device. It offers a preconfigured Debian 13 environment with common developer tools (ssh, tmux, git, bash, curl) and persistent project storage. The product demonstrates integrated AI capabilities (Codex / gpt-5.6-luna) within a developer terminal session and advertises quick provisioning (repos and agents preconfigured in less than 5 minutes). Pricing includes a free tier and a paid tier ($6/mo) with larger resources.

Your free cloud terminal. An always-on Debian container with SSH, tmux, git, and the AI coding agents you already use — ready in minutes.
