Everything you need to start coding remotely with CloudForge

What is CloudForge?

CloudForge is a remote AI coding platform that lets you use AI coding tools like Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, and Aider from anywhere - your phone, tablet, or any device with a web browser.

How It Works

  1. Connect Your Server - Install the CloudForge Agent on your VPS, cloud instance, or home server. The agent makes an outbound connection to CloudForge - no firewall changes needed.
  2. Access from Anywhere - Open the CloudForge web app and access your server's terminal from any device.
  3. Code with AI - Run Claude Code, Aider, or any other AI coding tool directly in your remote terminal.

Key Features

  • BYOS (Bring Your Own Server) - Your code stays on your infrastructure
  • Secure - Token-based auth, TLS encryption, no inbound ports required
  • Fast - WebSocket-based real-time terminal with low latency
  • Universal - Works with any CLI tool, not just AI coding assistants
  • File Editor - Monaco Editor (VS Code) with syntax highlighting, Ctrl+S save, and multi-file tabs
  • File Browser - Navigate your project with a visual file tree, create, rename, and delete files
  • Git Integration - Stage, unstage, commit, push, pull, and view diffs without leaving the browser
  • Resizable Panels - Customize your workspace layout with drag-to-resize panels
