Cloud Computer: Linux desktops for your AI agents

Deploy Cloud Computer and start a desktop in the cloud for each of your users. Your agent takes screenshots, clicks, types and runs shell commands through one API, and your users watch it live in your app.

  • Each computer runs Debian with Xfce, Google Chrome, a terminal and its own files, and keeps its user's sign-ins between sessions
  • Show the live screen in an iframe, view-only or with your user in control, and take over from the dashboard at any time
  • Only running time is charged, by the second; idle computers stop on their own and stopped ones keep their files for free

A clearer view of every service on the homepage

The landing page now shows the whole toolkit in a two-row grid: Postgres, auth, storage, Redis, email, background jobs, the MCP server and Functions, each one a click away from its docs.

Improved

Auth deploys without waiting for Postgres

You can deploy Auth on its own, in any order. It no longer waits for your project's database to start, so sign-up and login are ready sooner, even in a project that has no Postgres yet.

AI usage by month, day and model

The AI page now shows what you spent, the tokens you used and how many requests you made this month or last, with a cost-by-day chart and a breakdown for every model.

  • Switch the chart between cost and tokens
  • Times across the dashboard and admin are now shown in your own time zone
The AI requests page with monthly spend, tokens, requests and a cost-by-day bar chart

Improved

AI limits you can see coming

The AI card shows how much of your monthly allowance is used, and owners get an email warning before a limit is reached instead of finding out when requests stop.

  • Every AI request has a hard 5 minute limit, so a stuck stream never runs up a bill
  • The Free plan's $2 AI allowance is counted per account and held on every request

New

Scheduled background jobs

Call a URL on a repeating schedule, like a cron job without a server. Pick a cron pattern and a time zone, and every run shows up under Runs with its status and response.

  • Pause, edit or delete a schedule at any time
  • An email lets you know when you are close to your plan's monthly job runs

$10 of credit when you sign up

New visitors are offered $10 in free credits to start building, with no credit card required. Use it on a database, auth, storage and 100+ AI models.

Your name and words on auth emails

Choose who verification and password reset emails come from, set a reply-to address, and rewrite the words of each email while the layout, button and link are added for you. Send from your own domain once it is verified under Email.

A pricing page of its own

Every plan, limit and price now lives on one page, with answers to the common questions. We also added side-by-side comparisons with Supabase and Firebase.

Smaller improvements and fixes

  • Fixed

    A failed sign-in with GitHub or Google now returns your users to your app with an error, instead of stopping on a CloudHike page.

  • Fixed

    Project sign-in waits longer for a database that is waking up, and per-project rate limits count correctly.

  • Improved

    Payment receipts come from contact@cloudhike.dev, so replies reach a person.

  • Improved

    Canceling checkout offers 30% off your first month of Pro, also after using the browser's Back button.

  • Fixed

    Streamed AI requests always record their usage, even when the stream ends early.

  • Fixed

    New storage buckets on AWS wait until their access keys are accepted, so the first upload no longer fails.

Move your database from Neon, Supabase or InsForge

Paste a connection string and CloudHike copies the tables and data of your existing Postgres into your project. A step-by-step wizard checks the connection, previews what will be copied, then imports it.

  • A backup is taken first, so you can undo an import
  • Cancel an import while it runs
