Soda OS

Development goes better with Soda.

Install Soda OS on a powerful computer you control. Connect directly over SSH from the computer and tools you already use, then choose whether Soda becomes your complete environment or runs only the work that needs more room.

  • Keep your editor, terminal, and browser
  • Gaming PC, workstation, mini PC, or VM
  • Direct SSH, no remote desktop

Use Soda your way

Pour as much as you need.

Make Soda your complete remote environment, offload selected builds, project services, and coding agents from a local setup, or put one shared system on tap for the team.

The full bottle

Put the complete environment on Soda.

Keep projects, tools, tests, databases, development servers, agents, and long-running work on Soda. Use your laptop for the editor, terminal, and browser over SSH.

Soda on the side

Keep working locally. Offload the heavy parts.

Send selected builds, tests, project services, or additional coding agents to Soda when your computer needs more room.

On tap for the team

Give everyone the same foundation.

Let developers share one Soda machine while choosing whether it becomes their complete environment or additional capacity beside their existing setup.

For teams

How it connects

Your computer and Soda, working together.

Keep the computer and development tools you like. Connect directly over SSH through your private network and choose what work runs on each machine.

Your computer

Work where you like.

A MacBook Air, everyday laptop, or workstation stays where you edit, browse, and direct the work.
