AN ALWAYS-ON CLOUD COMPUTER FOR YOUR AI.

Your AI computer.
Always on.

A Linux computer in the cloud for your AI tools, files and projects. Close your laptop. Come back to your workspace from your phone or browser.

Beta requests are open. Paid access is not open yet.
No card or payment required to request an invitation.

Your tools. A place of their own.

A WORKSPACE THAT STAYS WITH YOU.

Give your ideas
a little more room.

01

Bring your favorites.

Keep your projects and chosen AI tools together. The Linux pilot starts with a browser and web shortcuts; third-party apps use your own accounts.

02

Keep the computer on.

Closing the viewer disconnects your screen without switching off a running computer. Tasks can still pause for sign-in, approvals or usage limits.

03

Pick up from anywhere.

Reach your workspace through a browser. Our companion mobile app is in development, with a preview you can explore today.

FOR THE FIRST 1,000 PAYING CUSTOMERS.

Start early.
Keep your price.

Our planned founding offer keeps your monthly computer price the same while your original subscription stays active.

We’re starting with Linux and opening access in small batches. The 1,000 founding places are a pricing offer, not a promise to launch 1,000 computers at once.

An access request does not reserve a founding place. Canceling and starting a new subscription does not restore the founding price.

EARLY ACCESS. CLEAR EXPECTATIONS.

Help shape
Spare Computer.

We’re testing the complete experience with our founder first. Invitations follow as setup, billing and recovery are verified.

What you can explore now

The interactive workspace demo, app choices and mobile preview. These previews do not rent a computer or charge a card.

What’s still being tested

Automatic tool installation, AI task execution, approvals and unattended reliability. OpenCode is in testing; browser automation, a browser code editor, OpenClaw and local models are not part of an available paid bundle.

Before you join

Beta software can have bugs, interruptions and changing features. Keep your own copies of important files and start with non-critical projects. Windows and Mac, portable sign-ins and managed backup recovery are not available. Support is by email; there is no 24/7 support or uptime guarantee.

START WITH THE WORK YOU WANT TO DO.

Close your laptop.
Keep your options open.

Choosing where to run an AI agent? These guides explain the tradeoffs before you commit to a computer or a subscription.

Questions before you join

Can an AI agent keep working when my laptop is closed?

Yes, when the work runs on another computer or a supported cloud service that stays online. A remote-control app alone does not move a local process into the cloud. Agents can still pause for permissions, errors, or usage limits. Read the overnight workflow guide.

Is Spare Computer the same as a VPS?

It is being built around a Linux cloud computer with a simpler task and access interface. A DIY VPS can be a good choice if you want to administer the environment yourself. Compare the setup, operating responsibilities, and costs.

Do I need my own AI subscription?

Third-party tools use your own eligible accounts or API access. Included SC AI and selectable models are being tested in dev; a production allowance is not set. Free software does not mean unlimited model usage.

Can I start a paid computer today?

Not yet. You can request beta access and explore the previews. Checkout is closed while we verify setup, task execution, and recovery. Windows and Mac are not available.
