Pricing

Free and open source (MIT); you pay for your own VPS.

Overview

Paddock is open-source software that turns one VPS you own into Linux desktops and restricted sandboxes for AI agents. Each box keeps its state between runs, has several coding agents preinstalled (including Claude Code and Codex), and can run Docker. You can block the network or allow only listed domains, set a time limit, and restore any snapshot, driving it all from a CLI, a dashboard or an HTTP API with SDKs for Python and TypeScript. It runs on a server you manage, so keeping that server secure is up to you.
