One binary, zero setup
A single static executable for macOS, Linux, and Windows. Terraform is downloaded automatically on first run — nothing else to install.
No public IPs, ever
Every VM lives in an isolated VPC reachable only through Google's Identity-Aware Proxy. SSH and web traffic tunnel through IAP — nothing is exposed to the internet.
Live cost estimates
Hourly pricing for your chosen machine type is fetched from the Cloud Billing API and shown before you launch, so there are no surprises.
Persistent data disks
Create, attach, resize, and share persistent disks that outlive your VMs. Destroy an instance without losing your data.
Command palette & vim keys
Drive everything from the keyboard: fuzzy-searchable command palette, vim-style navigation, and one-key actions for common operations.
Tunnels that just work
SSH tunnels for RStudio, Jupyter, or any service start automatically after provisioning and reconnect when you restart a VM.
