Beta — a look at what's possible

Cloud desktops are experimental and availability varies by account. This page is a showcase of what you can run, not a setup guide. Things may change, and not everything shown is enabled everywhere yet.

A remote dev machine isn't limited to a terminal. When a cloud desktop is available, you get a real graphical Linux desktop streamed into your browser — and from there you can run heavyweight creative tools, run a full browser, build and test desktop apps, and even boot entire other operating systems.

Creative and graphical tools

Run desktop-class creative software on cloud hardware, with everything streamed to your browser. No local install, no GPU on your laptop required — as shown above with Blender's full 3D workspace.

GIMP image editor open on a streamed cloud desktop

GIMP for image editing — open, edit, and export images entirely on the cloud machine.

Browsers and app development

Run a complete browser and develop graphical apps on the cloud desktop, then test them where they run.

Chromium browsing the web on a streamed cloud desktop

A full Chromium browser, useful for testing web apps or browsing from the cloud machine.

Building and running an Electron desktop app on a cloud Linux desktop

Develop and test an Electron desktop app on a Linux cloud desktop — build it and launch the real window without ever leaving the session.

Whole operating systems

Go beyond a single app and stream an entire operating system into your session.

A Windows desktop streamed into a taiku session

A full Windows desktop running on a cloud machine, streamed into taiku.

An Android emulator phone screen running on a cloud machine in a taiku session
