# AlwaysAgent

> AlwaysAgent (alwaysagent.app) gives you a dedicated Linux cloud server with Claude Code and OpenAI Codex preinstalled, used from any browser — desktop, phone, or iPad. Bring your own API key, OpenRouter, a custom relay (base URL), Anthropic-compatible models such as DeepSeek, Kimi, GLM, Qwen, or MiniMax, or log in with your own subscription. Tasks keep running on the server after you close your laptop.

AlwaysAgent is an independent product. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Anthropic or OpenAI. Claude Code and Codex are the official CLIs from those companies, installed unmodified on the user's server.

## What it is

- One dedicated Linux VM per user (US region), full root access, its own public IP. Run Docker, databases, and serve live websites on ports 80/443.
- Claude Code CLI and OpenAI Codex CLI preinstalled; a browser workspace with chat, files, terminal, and preview.
- Model access is the user's choice: official login, Anthropic API key, OpenRouter, any Anthropic-compatible relay, or vendor endpoints (DeepSeek, Kimi, Zhipu GLM, Alibaba Qwen, MiniMax). Credentials are stored only on the user's own server; AlwaysAgent does not proxy model calls and adds no markup on tokens.
- Works on mobile browsers; no app install. Tasks continue running when the browser or laptop is closed.

## Pricing

- Hourly: top up $10, about $0.05 per hour. Billed while the server exists (including when powered off) until deleted. No auto-renewal. Unused balance refundable within 14 days minus payment processing fees.
- Monthly plans (auto-renew, cancel anytime): Starter $9.9 (2 vCPU / 4 GB / 40 GB NVMe), Developer $17.9 (4 vCPU / 8 GB / 75 GB), Pro $24.9 (6 vCPU / 12 GB / 100 GB), Power $44.9 (8 vCPU / 24 GB / 200 GB). Unlimited monthly traffic, dedicated IP, free daily snapshots on monthly plans.
- One-click upgrade from hourly to monthly keeps files and databases.

## How it differs from official cloud options

- Anthropic's Claude Code cloud sessions and Remote Control require a claude.ai subscription login; Anthropic's docs state API keys and third-party providers are not supported there, and Remote Control needs your own computer to stay on.
- AlwaysAgent runs the same CLI on a server you control, so API keys, relays, OpenRouter, and Anthropic-compatible models all work, and the laptop can be off.
