Online Linux Terminal
A collaborative remote shell inside every project.
Use a full Linux terminal online in your browser: collaborative shell sessions that survive disconnects, preinstalled command-line software, and files, notebooks, and AI agents in the same project.
Work in a shared Linux shell with tools and files near notebooks, documents, and project history.
A real Linux terminal online
Use a full Linux terminal online in your browser: a real bash shell in an Ubuntu-based project, not an emulator, with nothing to install and nothing that can break your own machine.
That makes it a safe place to practice Linux commands, and a practical one for real work: sessions survive disconnects, and the same shell can be shared with collaborators.
- Run commands and scripts in the same project as notebooks and documents
- Install more software with apt-get, pip, or npm; your installs persist
- Edit a script and run it in a terminal pane right next to the editor
- Keep long-running jobs going after you close the browser
