Your own machine, in your browser.
Your lightweight workspace environment can now live on the cloud. Use your machines as resources and access the ephemeral workspaces in the cloud.
Browseterm turns a computer you already own into a browser-accessible Linux workspace. Install Browseterm once on your Mac, Windows PC, or Linux machine, and you get real terminals you can reach from any browser — without renting cloud compute or exposing your machine directly to the internet.
Your machine does the work. Cloud is only the control plane.
This is the core of how Browseterm is built: your terminals, files, and everything you run live entirely on your own machine. Browseterm Cloud never runs your workloads and never stores your workspace data — it only handles account login, keeps track of which of your devices is active, and relays commands like "create a new workspace" to the Browseterm software running on your machine. Your machine connects out to Cloud, never the other way around: nothing on Cloud can reach into your machine on its own.
You install once
Browseterm sets up an isolated, managed environment on your machine — a lightweight Linux virtual machine on macOS and Windows, or a native service on Linux — and keeps it running in the background.
Cloud is the control plane
Sign in once through Browseterm Cloud. Cloud tracks your devices and workspaces and issues the commands your machine carries out — it is never where your terminal sessions or files actually live.
Reach it from any browser
Open a terminal to your machine from any browser, on any device, without configuring port forwarding or exposing your home network.
Why not just rent a cloud VM?
You already own a capable computer. Browseterm puts it to work as your development environment instead of paying for — and re-configuring — a separate machine somewhere else. Your data stays on hardware you control.
