Host the apps your AI agents build — running 24/7, even when your computer is off.
Your AI agent built it on your laptop. Portfork keeps it running — 24/7, even when your computer is off. Portfork Cloud runs your apps on your account's isolated microVM that scales to zero between runs — each app in its own sandbox — with Open Source Portfork as the self-hosted foundation.

-
01.
They die when you close the lid
Each app your agents build lives at localhost. Shut your laptop and they're gone — no URL to share, no uptime, no way for anyone else to reach them.
An app that only runs while your machine is awake is a demo, not a deployment.
-
02.
Deploying each one is a project
Containers, a host, networking, secrets, scaling — standing up real infrastructure for every one-shot app is more work than the agent spent building it.
-
03.
Idle apps still cost you
Most agent-built apps run a few times a day. Leave a server up around the clock for each and you pay full price for capacity that mostly sits idle.
Place an app. It runs. It scales to zero.
-
01
Place your app
Point Portfork at the app your agent built. It packages the artifact and places it — locally on Open Source Portfork, or on Portfork Cloud.
portfork deploy ./app

02
Runs 24/7 on your isolated microVM
On Portfork Cloud the app runs on your account's hardware-isolated microVM — in its own sandbox — with a stable URL, staying up around the clock, even with your computer off.

Scales to zero · pay per node tier
Between runs the app scales to zero, so idle apps cost nothing. You pay for the node tier that fits your fleet — not for capacity you never use.
portfork tier
Your agents' apps, always on.
Portfork takes the apps your agents build and runs them as real, reachable services — on your account's isolated microVM that scales to zero between runs, each app in its own sandbox. Open Source Portfork hosts them on your own machine; Portfork Cloud hosts them 24/7, even when your computer is off.
- 01
24/7 hosting
Push the app your agent built and Portfork keeps it running around the clock — with a stable URL, even when your computer is off.
- 02
Scales to zero
Apps wake on the first request and scale to zero between runs. You pay for the node tier that fits, not for idle capacity that sits unused.
- 03
Per-user isolated microVMs
On Portfork Cloud, your account runs in its own hardware-isolated microVM — your apps share that node, but no other tenant can reach it. No shared runtime, strong boundaries by default.
- 04
Scheduled & agentic jobs
Run cron-style jobs and agent-triggered tasks on a schedule. They fire on Portfork Cloud with your laptop closed — no machine to keep awake.
- 05
Hybrid local & cloud placement
Run an app on your own machine with Open Source Portfork, or push the same artifact to Portfork Cloud. One runtime, one workflow — no rewrite to ship.
- 06
Agent-controllable via MCP
Portfork exposes a dashboard, a CLI, and an MCP server. Your agents can deploy, inspect, and manage their own apps without leaving the loop.
- 07
Bring your own LLM
Hosted apps use your own model access — an API key or a `claude setup-token` subscription. No markup on inference, no model lock-in.
Isolated by design.
-
01
Per-account microVM
Your account runs on its own hardware-isolated microVM — a real virtualization boundary, not a shared container runtime. No other tenant can ever reach it.
-
02
Per-app sandbox
Inside your microVM, each app runs in its own sandbox — isolated namespaces and filesystem, scoped secrets, dropped capabilities. Your apps are isolated from each other, not just from other tenants.
-
03
Secrets in AWS
App secrets are stored encrypted in AWS and injected into the app's sandbox at runtime, scoped to the app that needs them. They are never baked into artifacts or written to logs.
