A collaborative shell beside your project files.

Use a hosted Linux terminal beside project files, notebooks, and collaborators. Reconnect to live shell sessions while the project runtime remains running.

Work in a shared Linux shell with tools and files near notebooks, documents, and project history.

A real Linux terminal online

Use a hosted project shell from your browser, with commands and software provided by the selected image and your project installs.

Collaborators can share a live shell and reconnect after a browser disconnect while the project runtime remains running. Stops, restarts, failures, and configured browser-idle timeouts end running processes.

  • Run commands and scripts in the same project as notebooks and documents
  • Install packages with tools supported by the selected image and interpreter, using persistent project storage
  • Edit a script and run it in a terminal pane right next to the editor
  • Save logs and checkpoints so interrupted jobs can resume
