ssh-native microVMs. no signup, no dashboard, no yaml.
your keypair is your account. connecting is the API.

── usage ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

  $ ssh new@vtty.sh                          create a VM + attach
  $ ssh mybox@vtty.sh                        attach, wakes it if stopped
  $ ssh mybox+debian-12@vtty.sh              create from a template
  $ ssh control@vtty.sh vm pin mybox         keep it alive, no idle stop
  $ ssh control@vtty.sh vm share mybox       grant a teammate's key access
  $ ssh control@vtty.sh help --json          manage, built for agents

── reach a port ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────

  $ ssh -L 8080:localhost:3000 mybox@vtty.sh    private tunnel: the VM's
                                                :3000 at localhost:8080
  $ ssh -N -L 5432:localhost:5432 db@vtty.sh    tunnel only, no shell
  $ ssh control@vtty.sh expose add mybox 3000   plain HTTP -> public
                                                HTTPS URL

── control surface ────────────────────────────────────────────────────

  $ ssh control@vtty.sh <noun> <verb> [args]

  vm        ls info new start stop rm resize share unshare pin unpin
  template  ls info save rm
  expose    ls add rm
  size      ls
  tier      ls
  quota     show usage against your plan limits

  every command speaks --json. exit codes are contractual.

── how it works ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────

  real VMs, >1s boots. every session lands in a Firecracker microVM
  with its own kernel, not a container. cold start to shell in just
  over a second.

  idle costs nothing. walk away and the VM stops; your disk stays.
  reconnecting wakes it. pin a box and it never idles out; resize a
  stopped one when it outgrows its clusters. you never manage
  lifecycle; connecting is the state.

  your key is the ACL. no users, no teams, no invites. vm share
  grants another public key access to your box; unshare revokes it.
  that's the whole permission model.

  reach in, or open up. ssh -L tunnels a VM port to your laptop over
  the connection you already have; private, no DNS, no new auth.
  expose takes a plain-HTTP port in your VM and publishes it at an
  https:// URL on *.apps.vtty.sh; TLS terminated and certs issued
  automatically, nothing to configure. the VM boots on the first
  request.

  agent-first. no browser, no tokens: an agent with a keypair is
  fully onboarded. every command speaks --json, quota reports
  headroom before you hit it, and templates make a provisioned box
  reproducible with one flag.
