A computer in the cloud
for your AI agents

Run Claude, Codex, Cursor, and Hermes as background agents on one private hosted computer. Terminals, repos, previews, and workflows that keep going after your laptop closes.

Get started

Start with a 3-day free trial. Card required, $0 today. Cancel anytime.

Set up Matrix with your agentSee the exact prompt before you copy it

Paste this into Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor.

Help me set up Matrix OS, my own cloud dev computer.

Steps:
1. Install the CLI: npm install -g @finnaai/matrix or brew install finnaai/tap/matrix.
2. Run matrix login --profile cloud. It opens a browser/device login that I will approve.
3. If no Matrix instance exists, tell me to sign up at https://app.matrix-os.com, then re-run login.
4. Verify with matrix doctor and matrix whoami.
5. Start my preferred coding agent inside Matrix with matrix run -it --session setup -- claude or matrix run -it --session setup -- codex. I will complete that tool's own login inside the remote terminal.

Do not scan my local machine for credentials or upload secret files. Everything authenticates through its own browser/device flow.

Why Matrix exists

“Local development was never built for autonomous agents. The work should live in a computer that never sleeps.”

Hermes

The resident agent for everything around the code

Coding agents build software. Hermes runs the operating system around them: tool connections, scheduled workflows, notifications, approvals, memory, and everyday actions.

Explore Hermes

Build workflows

Turn recurring product, support, finance, and engineering work into Matrix workflows that run on schedule.

Connect every tool

Work across GitHub, Linear, Slack, Discord, Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Sentry, Datadog, billing, and Matrix apps.

Ship apps and automations

Create internal tools, dashboards, trackers, reports, and app workflows in the same Matrix workspace.

Choose managed or manual install. Start with Matrix Cloud, or bring your own Linux VPS.

Recommended

Managed Matrix Cloud

  • Choose region and power during signup
  • Managed routing, auth, updates, backups, billing, and integrations
  • Hermes and coding agents keep running while devices sleep
  • Best path for teams, pilots, professionals, and daily work
Start managed

Run your VPS

Manual VPS install

  • Install from the main domain on your own Linux VPS
  • Browser shell, gateway, local Postgres, code-server, and systemd services
  • Works from a server IP for first boot; bring DNS and TLS for public use
  • You own backups, upgrades, integrations, and server security
  • Best path for hackers, open-source users, and custom infrastructure

How to keep Claude Code running after you close your laptop

Run Claude Code in a persistent cloud computer so agent sessions keep working after your laptop sleeps, disconnects, or runs out of battery.

Questions, answered.

Is Matrix another AI editor?

No. Matrix is the always-on cloud computer where coding agents get repos, terminals, previews, files, auth, and review loops that keep running after your laptop closes.

Which agents can I use?

Bring Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, Pi, Gemini CLI, and terminal agents. Matrix also hosts Matrix-native agents like Hermes and OpenClaw-style assistants for workflows and connected tools.

What is Symphony?

Symphony is the Matrix orchestration layer for autonomous coding: parallel sessions, task queues, terminal runs, previews, PR review, and handoff between agents and humans.

What is Hermes?

Hermes is the Matrix-native agent for workflows and connected tools. It can work across GitHub, Linear, Slack, Gmail, Calendar, Drive, billing, settings, and Matrix apps with your permission.

What happens to my data?

Your files live in your Matrix home and workspace data lives in your Matrix database. Matrix is built around owner-controlled data, exportability, and isolated hosted computers.

What does it cost?

Signup is free. Your first primary Matrix computer can start with a 3-day free trial on Starter, Builder, or Max. A card is required, you pay $0 today, and Stripe automatically charges the selected monthly or annual price when the 3-day trial ends unless you cancel first. The offer is once per Matrix account; additional computers and later subscriptions bill immediately. Teams, enterprises, and universities can contact us for guided pilots.

Move your agents off your laptop

Start with one cloud workspace. Add agents, tools, workflows, and teammates as the work grows.
