A cloud for small software
Built it with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or v0? Paste it in, upload a zip, or point the CLI at a folder. A real URL in about a minute, closed to everyone until you let someone in — no login page to write.
Free forever for three apps. No card required.
Everywhere else hands you a public URL and leaves the login page as your problem — and AI-generated apps are notoriously bad at writing one. Here an app is closed until you open it. Let people in by email, or send a secret link. They never need an account, and you never write a line of authentication.
It happens before your app even starts, so it works whether you wrote Python, Node, or something an assistant invented.
Most hosting is priced per app: a second one doubles the bill, a tenth multiplies it by ten. That shape suits a company with one big product, not a person with a list of small ideas.
€5.00 a month covers 10 apps — about €0.50 each — and they sleep when nobody is using them. Tools you have not opened in weeks sit there costing nothing, ready the moment someone visits.
However you built it, it becomes a real app — with logs, a database, secrets, and a custom domain if you want one.
One file into a box in your browser. If it needs a requirements.txt, we write it. If it's a bare script, we give it a web page.
Claude, Cursor, Windsurf and VS Code can deploy for you. Say “deploy this” and it comes back with a URL.
Point pico deploy at any folder. It works out the language, the start command and the port on its own.
Connect a repository and every push deploys. A failed build leaves the previous version serving.
An idle app costs nothing and wakes on the next request in about a second. You pay for the seconds it runs, not the month it exists.
Add storage and your app gets a working DATABASE_URL pointing at its own SQLite file. Most people never realise they needed to connect those two ideas.
Run something every night. Described in plain English so you can tell at a glance what you set, and testable before you trust it.
Point a domain at it and the certificate is handled. Renewals too.
Including the output of an app that crashed on startup — the thing most platforms throw away exactly when you need it.
Set a monthly ceiling and mean it. A runaway loop cannot turn into a bill you did not expect.
Start free. Upgrade when you outgrow it, not before.
For trying things out and running a couple of personal tools.
The plan the whole product is designed around: lots of tiny apps, one small bill.
For people whose tools other people now depend on.
Shared internal tooling for a small team, with roles and audit history.
It takes about a minute to put it somewhere real.
