Early access includes 20 vCPU, 40GB RAM for free.

If you want to try, comment or DM me.

we just added @omarchy to InstaBox!

if you’ve ever wanted to try it out but didn’t want to install it on your own machine, now's the time.

(full Arch Linux environment with Hyprland desktop)

[Hang Huang ☁️ @hanghuang_]

Day 20/

Omarchy is now on InstaBox!

Spin up a 4 vCPU, 8 GiB cloud dev machine in seconds, for free.

Still early, so we’d love your feedback to make the Omarchy experience better on InstaBox!

[InstaBox @instabox_sh]

@hanghuang_ big fans of @omarchy

[InstaBox @instabox_sh]

@hanghuang_ ship ship ship

[InstaBox @instabox_sh]

our Python SDK is here!

get started with pip install instabox-sdk

[Hang Huang ☁️ @hanghuang_]

Day 19/

https://t.co/ulMu4kTVbH now has a Python SDK.

If you’re building agents in Python, you no longer need to call the CLI or wire up API requests by hand.

Create machines, run commands, move files, and delete machines straight from Python code.

pip install instabox-sdk

[InstaBox @instabox_sh]

@Ottopie_ @MennelDev one VPS is too weak, you need a whole fleet of VMs 😎

[InstaBox @instabox_sh]

@hanghuang_ @mintlify new look 👀

[InstaBox @instabox_sh]

shoutout to @mintlify for powering our revamped docs!

better organized for you, and easier for your coding agent to find info.

[Hang Huang ☁️ @hanghuang_]

Day 18/

We just revamped https://t.co/yPXBXIxo5J for both humans and agents!

Better organized, more comprehensive, and agent-friendly with Markdown and search support.

Now powered by @mintlify!

In under a week, @instabox_sh and @limrun moved 100% of my dev and testing from my MacBook to the cloud.

It’s at least doubled my ability to multitask: long-running tasks keep going after I close my laptop, and parallel work no longer turns my fanless MacBook Air into a space heater.

[jawad.jalal @jawadjalal]

the stack is:

as many claude ultra subscriptions as you can get for planning/design
one X ultra subscription for grok bot
@cognition devin pro fror unlimited compute for 90% of taks
running on @instabox_sh vms
hopefully with @theo's t3os installed.

honestly for about $500 a month, you can ship anything.

[InstaBox @instabox_sh]

@hanghuang_ you could be next!

[Hang Huang ☁️ @hanghuang_]

3 weeks in and this logo wall is starting to look pretty good

Thanks for trusting us so early!

[InstaBox @instabox_sh]

@favour_dmaster you can even use InstaBox instead of the t3-micro server 👀

[InstaBox @instabox_sh]

start more agents at once, with more disk included on every paid plan.

already live, nothing to change on your end ☁️

[Hang Huang ☁️ @hanghuang_]

Day 16/

Every paid https://t.co/ulMu4kTVbH plan just got better:

• Total disk included: 200 GiB on Pro, 1 TiB on Builder, 5 TiB on Team.
• Start up to 30 / 50 / 100 boxes a minute.

Trying to make @instabox_sh better value every day.

Thanks for all the feedback. We hear you.

[InstaBox @instabox_sh]

@hanghuang_ bigger and better 😤

[InstaBox @instabox_sh]

your coding agent can now easily test the Android app it’s building.

it can test user flows, check UI, and iterate on fixes, all with the code and Android phone in the same cloud machine.

try it out now at https://t.co/BpYnffA0xL!

[Hang Huang ☁️ @hanghuang_]

Day 15/

Introducing InstaBox Android sandboxes!

• Android 14 with adb and SDK ready to go
• Pause and fork running phones
• Each phone gets its own isolated VM

Your agent can now build an app, install it, and test it on Android, all in the same box.

Available on all plans.
