Prized
A cloud dev box that feels like localhost
Prized is a cloud development box that runs as a persistent Linux machine, set up from a laptop with one command. It keeps files, tools, and sessions in place across disconnects, so dev servers, tmux sessions, and agents continue running when the local machine sleeps. Two-way file sync mirrors changes between the box and a local folder in about 100 ms, and ports on the box are exposed on localhost, including localhost-only servers and websockets.
Boxes come in seven sizes from 2 vCPU / 2 GB to 32 vCPU / 128 GB, with snapshots, resizing, and an idle pause window that bills disk only. Claude Code and Codex are preinstalled, Cursor installs on demand, and other CLI agents install as on any Linux machine; agent usage is not metered. Access works over SSH, through the dashboard's browser terminal, or from a phone, with the same session throughout.
Plans run from $10 to $1,000 per month, delivered as credit that rolls over up to two months, with boxes billed hourly against it; sizes can be mixed and changed or cancelled anytime. New workspaces receive $30 of free credit without a card.
