Use every machine like it's right in front of you
Paperboat connects your computers so you can run terminals, share files, create tunnels, and sync secrets and config across them.

-
Close the lid. Keep the shell.
Terminals live on the machine, not on your laptop. Come back hours later, from any computer, to the same shell.
-
localhost, now with a link
One command gives a local port a public HTTPS address, with every request kept to inspect and replay.
-
Your firewall stays shut
SSH, files and private ports reach your machines through any NAT, encrypted end to end.
Terminals that outlive the connection
Close the laptop, change networks, come back hours later. The shell kept running and shows what you missed.
How terminals work
Share what you're building
One command puts localhost on a link like quiet-river-4821.pprbt.app, with every request kept to replay.
Everything in one install
Twelve features for Linux, macOS and Windows, and every one of them is on the free plan.
All features- Terminal A shell on the machine that keeps running when you disconnect, and shows what you missed.
- Remote commands Run one command on another machine and get its output and exit code.
- SSH ssh, scp, sftp and rsync with no keys to hand out and no port to open.
- Files Send files straight into another machine's Inbox. Interrupted sends resume.
- Private access Open a port on another machine as if it were local, without publishing it.
- Previews A public HTTPS link to a local port, with an inspector to see and replay each request.
- Tunnels and domains A permanent public address for a service, on your own domain if you want.
- Self-hosting Run the relay and the tunnel server on your own Linux box.
- ENV Environment variables encrypted on your device and delivered to your machines.
- Config sync The same dotfiles on every machine, from a Git repository you own.
- Teams and access Share a machine with people, one capability at a time, with a policy file and an audit log.
- Web console Your machines in a browser: terminals, files, previews, access rules and billing.
Free for personal use
Every feature is free for personal use. Pay for more relay and edge traffic, or for a team.
