## How to move a running agent task to the cloud before you leave with Cloudroom Gui

Repo: [davidondrej/cloudroom-gui](https://github.com/davidondrej/cloudroom-gui) | Difficulty: Intermediate | Time: 1 hour | Basis: From the README

Hand a half-finished coding task from your Mac to a cloud agent without losing the chat.

**Who it is for:** A developer whose coding agent is partway through a long task when they need to close the laptop or leave the desk.

**The problem:** Long agent runs stop when the Mac sleeps or the developer walks away, and restarting the work loses context.

**The outcome:** The same thread, model, and effort level keep running in the cloud, and the developer can move it back to the Mac later.

### Steps

1. Open Cloudroom on your Mac and start a Claude Code or Codex thread on your project.
2. Let the agent work on the task until you need to leave.
3. Use Teleport to move the running thread to the cloud.
4. Check that the thread shows the same chat, model, and effort in the cloud.
5. Teleport the thread back to your Mac when you return.

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
Using the Cloudroom app in the cloudroom-gui repo, move the running thread for <project or task name> from the Mac to the cloud with Teleport. Expected output: the same thread running in the cloud with the same chat, model, and effort. Verify that the chat history and model match before you report success.
```

### Caveat

Teleport needs Cloud access, which is invite-only for now, so the first run depends on getting an invite.

## How to try several fixes at once in isolated cloud branches with Cloudroom Gui

Repo: [davidondrej/cloudroom-gui](https://github.com/davidondrej/cloudroom-gui) | Difficulty: Intermediate | Time: 1 hour | Basis: From the README

Run separate cloud agent threads, each in its own sandbox and Git branch, and compare results.

**Who it is for:** An engineer who wants to test two or three approaches to the same bug or feature and pick the best one.

**The problem:** Trying several approaches in one working copy causes conflicts, and running them by hand takes too long.

**The outcome:** Each approach runs in its own sandbox and Git branch, so the engineer can review and compare the branches side by side.

### Steps

1. Open Cloudroom and start a Cloud thread for your repository.
2. Give the thread the first approach to the task.
3. Start a second Cloud thread with a different approach to the same task.
4. Let each thread finish and review its Git branch.
5. Keep the branch that passes your tests and discard the others.

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
In the cloudroom-gui repo's Cloudroom app, start two Cloud threads for <repository and task>, each with a different approach. Expected output: two separate Git branches, one per thread. Verify that each branch has its own sandbox changes before choosing one.
```

### Caveat

Cloud threads are invite-only for now, and the README does not say how many Cloud threads one account can run.

## How to let a cloud agent read files on your Mac with set limits with Cloudroom Gui

Repo: [davidondrej/cloudroom-gui](https://github.com/davidondrej/cloudroom-gui) | Difficulty: Intermediate | Time: 45 minutes | Basis: From the README

Give a cloud agent access to your Mac at the level you choose: Off, Read-only, Ask first, or Full.

**Who it is for:** A developer whose cloud agent needs a local file, config, or project folder that exists only on the Mac.

**The problem:** Cloud agents cannot see files on a Mac by default, so the developer has to copy them up by hand.

**The outcome:** The cloud agent can reach the Mac at the access level the developer picked, with no broader access than that.

### Steps

1. Open Cloudroom and go to the Mac access setting for your cloud thread.
2. Choose Read-only if the agent only needs to read files.
3. Start the cloud thread and ask it to read the file you need.
4. Check that the agent reports the file contents and makes no changes.
5. Switch to Off when the task is done.

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
In the Cloudroom app from the cloudroom-gui repo, set Mac access to Read-only for a cloud thread and ask it to read <file path on the Mac>. Expected output: the file contents reported back, with no edits. Verify that the Mac access level shows Read-only during the run.
```

### Caveat

The README lists four access levels but does not say what each level allows in detail, so test with a harmless file first.

Risk, credentials: Any file the agent can reach on your Mac may include keys or tokens, so keep Read-only or Ask first on folders that hold secrets.

Dual-use notice: only use this on software, sites and systems you own or are authorized to test.

## How to switch between several Claude accounts in one click with Cloudroom Gui

Repo: [davidondrej/cloudroom-gui](https://github.com/davidondrej/cloudroom-gui) | Difficulty: Beginner | Time: 15 minutes | Basis: From the README

Use more than one Claude account in the same app without logging out and back in.

**Who it is for:** A developer or small team with separate personal and work Claude subscriptions.

**The problem:** Changing Claude accounts by hand breaks flow and makes it easy to run work on the wrong account.

**The outcome:** The user moves between accounts in one click and keeps each thread on the account it started with.

### Steps

1. Open Cloudroom and add your first Claude account.
2. Add a second Claude account using your own subscription.
3. Switch accounts with one click from the app.
4. Start a thread and confirm it uses the account you picked.
5. Keep each project on the account that pays for it.

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
In the Cloudroom app from the cloudroom-gui repo, add two Claude accounts and switch between them. Expected output: a thread running on each account, with the account name shown for each. Verify that the account shown matches the one you selected before starting work.
```

### Caveat

The README says the accounts are your own subscriptions, so only add accounts you are allowed to use.

Risk, account pooling: Spreading agent work across several accounts may conflict with Anthropic's terms, so confirm that your use fits those terms before you switch accounts for capacity.

Dual-use notice: only use this on software, sites and systems you own or are authorized to test.
