Cloud machines

Run agent panes on your own Linux machine so this computer stays fast.

What it is

• Any Linux machine you can reach over SSH: a VPS, a home server, a spare box.
• The machine needs bash and git.
• Panes you start there use its CPU and memory, not this computer’s.

Add a machine

1. Add machine — open Cloud machines and choose Add machine.
2. Fill it in — address, port (22 by default) and user. The name is optional; leave it blank to use the machine’s own name.
3. Pick an SSH key — a stored one, or paste a private key. It’s kept in CrazyToad’s key vault on this computer.
4. Test & add — CrazyToad checks the connection before it saves the machine.

Each machine shows up as Cloud · <name>. Rename or remove it any time.

Install and sign in the agent CLIs

• Install the agent CLIs on the machine itself.
• Each machine lists Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Grok CLI and OpenCode, and shows which are installed and signed in.
• Claude Code and Codex get a one-click Sign in. A dialog shows the sign-in link (plus a code for Codex), and you finish in your browser.
• The login lives on that machine. Your login on this computer isn’t copied over.

Start a pane there

1. Open the launcher — start a new pane in Agents.
2. Pick Claude Code or Codex — those two can run on another machine today.
3. Choose Runs on — This computer or Cloud · <name>. The row appears once you’ve added a machine.
