Persistent remote dev machines
you actually own.

Schooner is an open-source CLI that connects SSH, Git worktrees, and tmux into one resumable workflow — so your sessions survive a closed laptop and your machines stay yours.

  • No account required
  • No hosted control plane
  • Ordinary SSH always works
  • Apache 2.0

Install from your terminal

brew install thewelshrich/tap/schooner

macOS 13+ & Linux · amd64 / arm64

Installation guide

Close your laptop.
Pick up where you left off.

Connect an Ubuntu machine you already reach over SSH. Send your checkout, start a tmux session, and return to it later.

The guided setup connects your SSH machine. Run the work commands from your local checkout; Schooner remembers where you work.
