# Always-on workspace

Pick up where you left off.

Claude Code, Codex or both keep working on your Station while you’re away, and your files, tools and conversations stay put between visits. Sign back in and keep going.

## Current offer

$39/month for one Station, plus your own AI subscription. Your first hour is free, no card needed. After that, a card starts a 7-day free trial (one per customer). Checkout shows the exact date of your first charge.

## How it works

1. **Set up once** Bring your project over and install what it needs. You won’t be doing it again next visit.

2. **Walk away** Close the laptop. Your agents keep working on your Station.

3. **Come back** See what your agents did, then carry on.

## No more starting over

Your Station keeps your project, your tools and your setup between visits, and disconnecting doesn’t undo any of it. Claude Code and Codex in their respective clouds start each new session fresh. On your Station, your agents and your app keep running, and when you sign back in, your environment is just as you left it.

## Still push your work to GitHub

Agents edit and delete files as part of the work, and your Station can’t bring back a file once it’s deleted. Keep anything you’d hate to lose in GitHub too.

## It runs as long as your plan does

An active Station keeps working with your browser closed. It needs a free period or a subscription to keep running, and your files stay put either way. Only destroying your Station removes everything.

## Does disconnecting stop my agents?

No. Closing your browser doesn’t touch a running session. An agent stops when it finishes, gets stuck, hits your AI plan’s limit, or has a question waiting for you.

## Can I recover everything after destroying a Station?

No. Destroying a Station permanently removes the workspace and its data. Nothing comes back, so push your code and download anything you need first.
