Open-source · runs in your AWS account

Close the laptop.
Your session stays warm.

Ember is the open-source coding agent — Claude Code and Codex — that runs on a warm micro-VM inside your own AWS account. Hand it a repo and a task, walk away, and resume from any device. Your code, your keys, your bill, your model. Nothing leaves your account.

How it works

Hand it off at your desk. Pick it up at the campfire.

One handoff, three devices, zero babysitting. The build keeps burning while you're somewhere better than your chair.

1 Give it a repo + task
⌨️

Brief it from your laptop

Point Ember at a repo and describe the work. It clones, plans, codes, builds, and opens a PR — server-side on a per-session micro-VM. Or port a live local Claude Code / Codex session straight up.

🔥

Close the lid

The session keeps running on an Amazon Bedrock AgentCore micro-VM with a persistent EFS workspace — banked and warm in your own account. Go outside. The loop doesn't need you.

3 Resume from any device
📱

Pick it up anywhere

Open a deep link on the web or your phone — same workspace, same context, still running. Course-correct over lunch, tap "ship it," then pull the grown session back home at night.

Why Ember

The incumbents host it on their cloud. Ember runs on yours.

Same capability as Claude Code on the web or OpenAI Codex + Ona — minus the part where your source, secrets, and audit logs land in a vendor's account.

Warm sessions

A banked fire doesn't go out when you walk away.

WarmLive micro-VM, holding context and heat. Resume instantly. ~0.1¢/idle-min
IdleCoals dimming — workspace persisted to EFS, ready to flare back. parked
ColdGone out, nothing lost. Reopen and it rebuilds from the checkpoint. $0

Every session maps to a real warm/idle/cold state — it isn't a metaphor we bolted on, it's the mechanic. Close the lid and the embers hold their heat; reopen on any device and it flares straight back.
