The dev box that feels like localhost.

Always on, in seven sizes up to 32 vCPU and 128 GB RAM.Close the laptop and your agents keep working.

dev@prized ~/code

$ prized up

dev box running, up 41 days

~/code synced both ways, .git included

3000 → localhost:3000

$ claude

Your editor, your terminal, your ports.

The computer just stops being your laptop.

Two-way sync

Edit on the box or on your laptop. Changes land on the other side in about 100 ms, .git included.

Ports auto-mirrored

A server on the box is localhost on your laptop seconds later. Localhost-only servers and websockets included.

Sessions never die

Detach on the train, reattach at your desk. Everything is where you left it.

dev@prized ~/code

$ npm run dev

ready on http://localhost:3000

3000 mirrored, open it on your laptop

$ git commit -m "checkpoint"

committed on the box, synced to your laptop

$ exit

session detached, still running

# the next morning

$ prized ssh

same session, dev server still on 3000

Everything included. Nothing metered.

Backups run on their own

A snapshot of the whole box every day, kept for seven days. Break something and yesterday is still there.

Agents never metered

Claude Code, Codex, whatever ships next. They run around the clock and the bill stays flat.

A tray app, not a dashboard

Status, sync, and ports from the menu bar. It speaks up only when something needs you.

A clear advantage.

Coder is infrastructure you operate. Codespaces meters every core hour. Prized is the finished service at a flat price.
