Every page below links its Markdown: a docs URL plus `.md`, and the same
URL without the suffix returns Markdown when the request sends
`Accept: text/markdown`. Fetch the pages a task needs: each is small
enough for any fetch tool, while the one-file set under Optional is
several hundred KB and gets cut short by tools that stop near 100 KB.
## Get started
- [Overview](https://prized.dev/docs.md): A dedicated Linux box in the cloud that you work on from your own machine.
- [Quickstart](https://prized.dev/docs/quickstart.md): Four steps to a box with your project on it and your coding agent signed in: sign up, install, log in, set up.
- [Sign up from your terminal](https://prized.dev/docs/terminal-signup.md): One command signs you up, starts a box on the free credit, and sets up this machine: npx prized.
- [Agent setup](https://prized.dev/docs/agent-setup.md): Paste one prompt into Claude Code or Codex on your machine; the agent installs the CLI, runs prized setup, and asks before putting your project or your credentials on the box.
- [Agent sign-in](https://prized.dev/docs/agent-sign-in.md): New to Prized? Your coding agent makes your account with your email address and a 6-digit code, and gets an API key.
- [Bring your environment](https://prized.dev/docs/environment.md): prized setup scans your machine, asks a few yes or no questions, and reproduces the parts you pick on the box: shell, toolchains, CLIs, Docker images, databases, and env vars.
## Guides
- [Keep Claude Code running with your laptop closed](https://prized.dev/docs/keep-claude-code-running.md): Why closing the lid stops Claude Code, the ways to keep it working, and how to run it on a box that stays on while your laptop sleeps, with what it costs.
- [Run Claude Code and Codex on a remote dev box](https://prized.dev/docs/remote-dev-box.md): Run Claude Code or Codex on a cloud Linux box and keep working locally: your project synced both ways, dev servers on localhost, or the box in Cursor or VS Code.
- [Run multiple Claude Code and Codex agents in parallel](https://prized.dev/docs/parallel-agents.md): Run several coding agents at once without slowing your laptop: a git worktree and a session per agent, on one bigger box or a box each, with what each costs.
## Connect
- [Sync](https://prized.dev/docs/sync.md): Mirror a project folder between the box and your machine, both directions and .git included, with edits landing on the other side in under a second.
- [Mount](https://prized.dev/docs/mount.md): Browse the whole box in Finder as a live network drive; nothing is copied and it uses no disk space on your Mac.
- [Ports](https://prized.dev/docs/ports.md): A server on the box opens on your machine as localhost within about two seconds, with no flags or config, and any port can be shared at a link, with your workspace or with anyone you send it to.
- [Sessions](https://prized.dev/docs/sessions.md): Your shell runs in a persistent session on the box, so a network drop or a closed lid ends only the connection; reconnect and you are where you left off, running processes included.
- [herdr](https://prized.dev/docs/herdr.md): Land in herdr instead of tmux, a terminal multiplexer that shows which of your coding agents is working, waiting on you, or done.
- [Run commands and files](https://prized.dev/docs/exec.md): Run a command on your box and get its exit code, leave one running and follow it live, read any command's output later even with the box paused, or copy files either way, from the CLI or any script holding an API key, with nothing to install on the box.
- [Desktop](https://prized.dev/docs/desktop.md): A full Linux desktop, or a single Chrome window, from any box in your browser, streamed over VNC inside the private tunnel with nothing opened to the internet.
## Agents
- [Agents](https://prized.dev/docs/agents.md): Start a coding agent on your box, close the laptop, and let it work; it is an ordinary process on a machine you already pay for, so nothing it does is metered.
- [Prompt an agent remotely](https://prized.dev/docs/remote-agents.md): Prompt Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode or pi on your box from your machine or any script, on the model and backend you pick, follow the run as it happens, and interrupt it; the run lives on the box, so nothing depends on your laptop staying open.
- [Codex remote](https://prized.dev/docs/codex.md): Run Codex on your box from the ChatGPT desktop app, with every edit syncing back to your Mac.
- [Claude Desktop remote](https://prized.dev/docs/claude-desktop.md): Run Claude Code on your box from the Claude desktop app, with nothing to set up on the box.
## Boxes
- [Boxes](https://prized.dev/docs/boxes.md): Create, pause, resize, move, and delete boxes: dedicated Linux machines from Nano to Extra Large.
- [Machines](https://prized.dev/docs/machines.md): What a box is made of: its size and disk, Ubuntu 24.04 on a dedicated x86_64 virtual machine, preinstalled software, and the Prized processes beside your work.
- [Snapshots](https://prized.dev/docs/snapshots.md): Take point-in-time images of a box's disk by hand or on a schedule, restore them into new boxes, fork a running box, and save templates new boxes start from.
- [Environments](https://prized.dev/docs/environments.md): What a new box inherits, kept as versions: repos to clone, a setup script, env vars, secret files, and which of your credentials it may receive (CLI and API only).
- [Credentials](https://prized.dev/docs/credentials.md): How your agents' and tools' sign-ins reach a box: handed over from your machine through the SSH tunnel, never seen, stored, or proxied by the control plane.
- [Connectors](https://prized.dev/docs/connectors.md): Mount brokered credentials for ClickHouse, OpenAI, Anthropic, GitHub, or Slack into a dev box without writing the real value to its disk.
- [AWS access](https://prized.dev/docs/aws.md): Connect an IAM role once, and every box in your workspace gets an AWS profile that assumes it with a short-lived identity token instead of access keys.
## Sandboxes
- [Sandboxes](https://prized.dev/docs/sandboxes.md): Sandboxes (beta): Linux microVMs your code creates through the API or the CLI. Each boots from a template in seconds, runs commands and moves files, pauses for the price of its storage, and forks into many live copies.
- [Sandbox API](https://prized.dev/docs/sandboxes-api.md): Every sandbox route: create, list, pause, resume, fork, resize, and delete on the control plane; run commands and move files on the edge; with the fields, states, and error codes.
## Account
- [Dashboard](https://prized.dev/docs/dashboard.md): A map of the signed-in app at prized.dev/dashboard: every screen, its controls, and where each setting lives.
- [Workspaces](https://prized.dev/docs/workspaces.md): One account for the whole team; boxes, balance, and secrets shared by everyone in it.
- [Teams](https://prized.dev/docs/teams.md): What a shared workspace adds to one account: roles, policies that bind members, quiet hours, an audit log with a scheduled export, scoped secrets, and a live activity page.
- [Billing](https://prized.dev/docs/billing.md): How a monthly plan ($10 to $1,000, or sized to your boxes past that) becomes credit, what boxes cost by the hour, and what happens when the credit runs out.
- [Limits](https://prized.dev/docs/limits.md): Every hard cap a box or a workspace can hit, and what the refusal looks like.
- [Data retention](https://prized.dev/docs/data-retention.md): What pausing, deleting, and closing keep and remove, how zero data retention changes that, and what Prized retains afterwards.
## Reference
- [CLI reference](https://prized.dev/docs/cli.md): Every prized command, flag, JSON shape, and exit code, on macOS, Linux, and Windows.
- [API reference](https://prized.dev/docs/api.md): Every HTTP route an API key can call: the control plane for boxes and workspace settings, the edge for commands, files, agent prompts, and stopping the desktop.
- [Troubleshooting](https://prized.dev/docs/troubleshooting.md): Symptoms and their fixes, starting with the one command that checks and repairs config, auth, tunnel, SSH, sync, the daemon, and the box agent.
- [Changelog](https://prized.dev/docs/changelog.md): What changed in each release of the prized CLI and box agent, newest first.
## Trust
- [Security and trust](https://prized.dev/docs/security.md): How a box is reached, what the control plane can and cannot see, where credentials and secrets go, and how to report a problem.
- [Privacy](https://prized.dev/docs/privacy.md): What Prized records about how you use the product, and what it never records.
## Optional
- [Everything in one file](https://prized.dev/llms-full.txt): every page above, in reading order; several hundred KB.
- [Search](https://prized.dev/api/search?query=sync): GET with `query=<words>`; JSON hits, each with the page URL and the matching heading or paragraph.
- [Pricing](https://prized.dev/pricing): the live box sizes and rates the docs point to.
