exe.dev

exe.dev is a cloud computing platform from Bold Software that provisions Linux VMs with persistent disks, instant HTTPS, and built-in authentication — all managed over SSH ("just use ssh"). It offers disposable Sandboxes for running AI-generated code, persistent VPS-style VMs, and Devbox cloud development environments, each reachable at https://.exe.xyz with automatic TLS. A companion HTTPS API (POST /exec) runs the same command surface with exe1. bearer tokens, and Shelley — a first-party, web-based coding agent — runs inside the VMs. exe.dev raised a $35M Series A and is backed by Amplify Partners. This profile was enriched by the API Evangelist pipeline from the provider's public docs, llms.txt, GitHub org (boldsoftware), and well-known surface.

exe.dev publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Developer Tools, Cloud Computing, Virtual Machines, and Sandbox.

exe.dev’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, pricing, engineering blog, support, authentication, and 21 more developer resources.
