Overview.
Prized gives you a dedicated Linux box in the cloud. Your files appear in a folder on your Mac, box ports appear on your localhost, and terminal sessions survive closing the laptop.
How it works
You edit and run everything on the box over SSH. Three things connect it to your laptop: files sync both ways with a folder on your Mac, .git included; a dev server you start on the box appears on your laptop's localhost within seconds; and terminal sessions run in tmux, so they survive a closed lid.
The pieces
| Piece | What it is |
|---|---|
prized | The CLI on your laptop. |
prizedd | A background daemon on your Mac. Runs the sync and mirrors box ports onto localhost. |
prized-agent | A service on the box. Discovers listening ports, reports vitals, lists tmux sessions. |
| Dashboard | prized.dev. Create boxes, watch their state, manage billing. |
What's on the box
Ubuntu, preloaded with Docker (compose and buildx), git, tmux, mosh, ripgrep, jq, and the GitHub CLI. You have root, so apt and any toolchain installer work normally. Claude Code and Codex are preinstalled and Cursor's CLI installs on demand; prized setup hands your own sign-ins over from your Mac, so the box's agents are yours without retyping an OAuth flow. See Credentials.
