exe.dev

What is exe.dev

exe.dev provides cloud Linux virtual machines (VMs) for developers, AI agents, and production workloads. It offers durable sandboxes that are fast, secure, and shareable. Users can SSH into a persistent Linux VM with ssh exe.dev and get root access with apt and systemd. The service is API-first and includes a built-in web agent called Shelley for coding.

How to use exe.dev

1. Sign up or log in via the Login/Register link on the website.
2. SSH into a VM by running ssh exe.dev from your terminal.
3. Use the web agent Shelley to build apps directly in the browser.
4. Manage VMs through the API or the web interface, with options for sandboxes, VPS, devboxes, and production infrastructure.
