Reachpad

Reachpad gives you a browser-based environment for running coding agents without worrying about losing progress when you close your laptop or your connection drops. The problem it solves is simple: coding agents like Claude Code and Codex can take hours to finish a task, but if your local machine sleeps, the session dies. Reachpad keeps those agents running on hosted infrastructure so you can walk away and come back to finished work instead of a dead terminal. For developers who have adopted AI coding assistants as a core part of their workflow, the reliability gap between local sessions and production-grade infrastructure is exactly what this platform fills.

The frustration this addresses is familiar to anyone who has used an AI coding assistant for more than a quick fix. You kick off a Claude Code session to refactor a module, the agent starts working through the files, and then your laptop lid closes for a meeting. When you come back, the session is gone and you're starting over. Or you're on spotty Wi-Fi and a brief dropout kills the connection right when the agent was about to finish. The worst version of this is when the agent was nearly done with a multi-hour task and you lost all progress because of a flaky network. Reachpad moves the agent runtime off your machine entirely, so the session persists regardless of what happens on your end. Your laptop becomes a viewer into work that's happening elsewhere.

The setup works through persistent workspaces that you access from any browser. Each workspace runs independently, so you can spin up multiple agents working on different tasks at the same time. A dashboard shows the state of every agent at a glance, with clear labels for what's actively working, what's waiting on your input, and what needs permission to run a command. That last piece matters because coding agents often need approval before executing shell commands or file operations, and Reachpad tracks those permission requests so you can unblock the agent when you're ready. You're not babysitting tabs; you're checking in on a queue of work that keeps running whether you're watching or not. The permission queue prevents agents from stalling silently when they need a yes/no decision, which is one of the biggest usability gaps in local agent workflows.

The target audience is developers who rely heavily on AI coding assistants and want them to keep working outside normal laptop hours. If you're the kind of person who kicks off a Claude Code session before bed and wants to see the result in the morning, this is built for that workflow. Teams that run multiple concurrent tasks can use the multi-agent dashboard to coordinate rather than juggling terminal tabs locally. Freelancers working across client projects can have separate workspaces per engagement without context bleeding. Anyone who bills by the hour and wants to parallelize agent tasks to get more done in a day will see the appeal.

What sets Reachpad apart from just running an agent locally is the resilience and the centralized view. Your local machine going to sleep, losing Wi-Fi on a train, or accidentally closing a browser tab no longer kills your session. The workspaces persist on their end, and you reconnect when you're ready. That persistent state is the core value proposition. It also means you can start a task on your desktop at the office, check on progress from your phone on the commute, and pick it up again on a different laptop at home. The session follows you rather than being stuck on one device. For teams, this means one person can start a task and another can pick it up, or a manager can check on progress without accessing the developer's machine.

Integrations focus on the coding agents themselves. Claude Code and Codex are supported out of the box, with the expectation that you bring your own agent credentials. The platform handles the hosting and session management while you work within the agent's interface through their embedded workspace view. This is not a replacement for the agents; it's infrastructure that makes them more reliable to use on real projects where interruptions are inevitable. If you're using coding agents for anything more than toy projects, you've probably felt the pain that Reachpad is built to solve.

Pricing follows a paid model with a dev tier available through checkout. The site does not list exact numbers on the homepage, so expect to see plan details during signup. There's documentation and a blog for onboarding, and support runs through hello@reachpad.dev. If you're already deep into agent-assisted coding and find yourself frustrated when sessions die mid-task, Reachpad is worth a look. It won't make your agents smarter, but it will make them more usable for anything beyond a quick one-shot prompt.
