A filesystem that outlives the machine
Close your laptop.
Your agents keep working.
PortableFS puts agent workspaces in the network, not on a disk. Adopt a directory at the gate, board the flight, and land to a volume full of new commits — every write ordered, durable, and mountable from the next machine.
$ curl -fsSL https://portablefs.com/install | sh
How it works
01
Adopt a directory
portablefs adopt turns an existing project into a live network volume. The files stop belonging to one disk; every machine and sandbox mounts the same bytes.
02
One ordered writer
Each branch has a single authority that puts every write in order — no sync, no merge, no last-writer-wins. That is why git indexes and SQLite files stay correct across machines.
03
History for free
Every write lands durably in the shared journal as your agent works — no snapshot you forgot to take. Snapshots are optional lightweight points for inspecting, rewinding, publishing, or forking; they never pause writes.
Fork per agent
Give every attempt its own volume. Keep the one that wins.
A fork is a full, independent volume created from any snapshot in seconds — agents cannot trample each other, and abandoning a bad attempt costs nothing. Run three fixes in parallel, diff the results, promote the winner.
vol_project@main
├── vol_attempt-1 claude tests green in 12m
├── vol_attempt-2 codex stuck on migration
└── vol_attempt-3 claude rewrote too much
$portablefs fork vol_project --name attempt-4
Works with what you already run
Claude Code
Point it at a mounted volume; every edit is durable in the journal and visible from your laptop mid-run.
Codex CLI
Run it in a sandbox against the volume. Kill the sandbox; the workspace is untouched.
E2B and any sandbox
Sandboxes die by design. Mount PortableFS inside and the workspace outlives all of them.
No SDK required — if it reads a filesystem, it works on PortableFS.
Open source core
Apache-2.0. The exit is a config change.
The entire data plane — volume API, authority manager, mount client, CLI — is open source. Self-host it with Docker and point the same CLI at your own deployment; this cloud is the hosted control plane, not a lock-in.
Simple pricing
Flat plans. Mounts and history are never metered.

Your agents deserve a filesystem that outlives the machine.
