Product overview
What is OpenClowd?
OpenClowd is a self-hosted web control plane for developers who run multiple terminal coding agents and want one persistent, mobile-friendly place to launch, monitor, review, reattach to, and steer them.

The problem it solves
Parallel agent work is usually scattered across terminal tabs, machines, and memory. It is hard to know what is still running, which session needs input, and how to continue from another device.
OpenClowd groups agent work by workspace and keeps sessions, status, history, previews, files, and diffs close to the repository where the work happens.
Where it runs
OpenClowd runs on an always-on machine the developer controls. A small VPS is the recommended setup. A home server, dev server, or spare laptop that remains online can also work.
OpenClowd does not provision or maintain that machine. The self-hosted user remains responsible for the host, its operating system, network exposure, and third-party agent credentials.
What it is not
- Not a coding agent, model provider, or AI account broker.
- Not a full browser IDE or rich mobile editor.
- Not a VPS provider, deployment platform, or production hosting service.
- Not a manager dashboard, productivity tracker, or surveillance product.
- Not a promise that live processes survive host reboot or crash.
