CloudShell

CloudShell creates an on-demand shell in the cloud. TeleType shares a terminal session from your own machine.

No. CloudShell is a PRO app.

Only the ~/workspace directory. Put your scripts, configs, and anything you want to keep there. The rest of the environment spins down after about 3 minutes idle.

Yes. Every CloudShell has an init.sh file in ~/workspace that runs on each boot. Put your aliases, environment variables, and setup there. Bash, fish, whatever you use. Just keep in mind it's per-space, not per-user.

Yes. Drop a file or paste an image right onto the terminal and it copies to the current directory. Handy for quick uploads and sharing.

Within the same space, open as many as you want. Press cmdaltN for a new shell and switch between them with a shortcut.

Across different spaces, the Professional plan limits you to a few concurrent instances. Check the pricing FAQ. Idle shells spin down automatically.

Privileges are restricted for now. No sudo, no Docker, no public ports. Don't treat it as a VPS. You can still download and run binaries from your home directory. UV, Go, Rust, Node.js, and other common tools come pre-installed so you can jump right in. This may change in the future.

Yes. Share the space and others can join the same shell. Multiplayer terminal sessions are a thing here. Pretty fun for coding together.

No. CloudShell runs in a cloud runtime, so its session can't be end-to-end encrypted between participants. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest.

Now you're thinking like a SupaKit user. Open NanoCode to edit code, or Huddle to pair-program in real time.

A CLI for bidirectional folder sync is on the way. For now, drop files directly onto the terminal or use the ~/workspace directory.

In your open space, click the blue share button at the top right. From there, select an access level (editor or view-only), then copy the invite link or show a QR code. You can regenerate the link anytime to invalidate previous ones.

Share with colleagues, students, or friends. They don't need to be in your organization.

No. Share the invite link from your space and they can join right from their browser as a guest, or by signing in with Google or Email. They don't need a paid plan to collaborate with you.

SupaKit is designed to be privacy focused. Content in your spaces is end-to-end encrypted between participants. We recommend setting your own keychain password in Settings after creating your account. Read our security page for more details.

Absolutely. We use it that way ourselves, mostly for our own notes, travel-plans, projects, and whatever we're building. Collaboration is there when you need it or want to share it.

No. SupaKit runs in your browser. It opens with a link, no downloads or installs, for you or anyone you share a space with. You can pin it to your dock or home screen for quicker access and a dedicated window. It stays safely sandboxed in your browser.

Yes. You can control this from the share button at the top right of your space, where you'll see all collaborators and their access levels. Each person can either have full write and edit access, or view-only, meaning they can see everything but can't make changes.

For apps that involve streaming (e.g. Huddles, Screenshare, CloudBrowser) active participants are capped at about 5 per space on Standard, and up to 10 on Pro. For everything else, you can have quite a few more collaborators in a space without hitting limits.

We're still experimenting with these knobs. SupaKit is designed for active collaboration among smaller groups, not webinars or large calls. It may be able to handle a large number of participants, but the experience is tuned for smaller groups, whether that's a team, a classroom, a workshop, or a few people working together.

Limits are based on sustained usage, not occasional bursts. If you go over briefly, it won't be an issue.
