Run Orca's agents on a Prized box

Connect Orca to a Prized box over SSH, so its worktrees and coding agents run on a cloud Linux machine and keep going when you close the app.

On this page5

Orca runs a fleet of coding agents, each in its own git worktree. With a Prized box as an SSH host, the worktrees and agents live on the box and keep running when you close Orca.

1. Start a box

Sign up at prized.dev and follow the tour: it starts a box on $30 of free credit with no card, and the command it shows installs the CLI and adds the box to your SSH config (Quickstart). Replace mango with your box's name.

2. Sign the agents in on the box

prized agents handoff claude codex --gh

3. Connect Orca to the box

In Orca, click Add project, open the Host menu, and click Connect beside mango; Orca lists the hosts in your SSH config. The first connect installs Orca's own server in ~/.orca-remote on the box, so the box needs no Node.

4. Add a project and start agents

Click Browse folder, pick a repository such as ~/code/myproject, and click Add Git Project. Then click New workspace, keep Run on set to mango, and pick an agent: the worktree and the agent both run on the box.

When the box sleeps

On the free credit, a box pauses after 2 hours idle (Auto-pause). To keep it up while agents work:
