From request to running software
You ask.Claude operates.Podway keeps the computer ready.
Start with what you want running. Claude handles the technical work while Podway keeps the computer ready.
Your admin does the work
Claude installs the software, configures what it needs, checks the result, and explains what changed.
The computer stays available
Your workspace, running services, schedules, and project access remain there between conversations.
Supported from day one

Each app comes with tested setup and operating guidance for your AI admin.

We’re preparing more open-source software for your AI admin.
The trust part
It never breaks your stack.
An AI with access to production only earns trust one way—by being careful on purpose. Here’s the contract.
Watches upstream
Monitors every app’s repo for releases, bug fixes, and security advisories—so you don’t have to.
Patches the safe stuff
Routine + security updates get tested on a clone and applied automatically.
Asks before anything risky
Breaking changes, major versions, data migrations—it proposes, you approve.
One-click rollback
Every change is reversible. If something’s off, you’re back to the last-good state instantly.
The tax on self-hosting
Self-hosting is cheap.Keeping it alive is a second job.
Real reports from people running these apps themselves. This is the part the price pages don’t mention.

What you’re probably wondering.
What happens after an app is installed?
Your AI admin watches supported apps for upstream changes, handles routine updates and investigates problems. Risky changes wait for your approval.
Can I use my existing Claude subscription?
Yes. Sign in with Claude Pro or Max, then continue the same pod session from the official desktop or mobile app.
Will my apps keep running when I close my laptop?
Yes on Podway Cloud. A self-hosted pod stays available as long as your server stays online.
How do I give Claude passwords or API credentials?
Add them in Podway settings. Claude can use them without you pasting sensitive values into the conversation.
Can I run Podway on my own server?
Yes. The self-hosted edition runs with Docker on your hardware, while you continue working through Claude.
How mature is Podway?
Podway is in early alpha. The supported app catalog is tested, but early adopters should still expect rough edges and fast changes.
