01 · Stack your subscriptions
Usage limits stop being limits.
Stack two or three Claude or Codex subscriptions side by side, config-isolated, with a gauge each. When one account's window runs hot, switch to another and keep going. As much compute as you own, zero overage bills.
Toggle between personal and work accounts per session, right from the titlebar. The session never breaks stride when you move it to a fresh window.

Set up and use your own accounts.
Connect the flat-rate subscriptions and the API keys you already have. Each provider runs through its own official CLI, under its own login - the work lands on your plan, not a marked-up key. No proxy in the token path. No metered anything.
Want a model you don't subscribe to? Bring one OpenRouter key and get 100+ models alongside the rest.

One message. Every model at once.
Send the same message to Claude, Codex, and Grok at the same time and watch the answers stream side by side, each with its live cost per provider. No more asking the same thing three times in three tabs.
Star the answer that wins and the thread continues with it. The losing runs step aside; you keep going with the model that got it right.

Mac, web, and iPhone are peers, not remotes. Start a session from your phone on the train, it shows up on your Mac and in the browser instantly - same session, same branch, same transcript. Pick it up on whichever screen is in front of you.
The session label never changes as you move between surfaces. One running agent, three first-class front ends.

Close your laptop. The work keeps going.
Sessions don't have to live on the device in front of you. Run them on your own hardware, a cloud server, or serverless - the 2015 MacBook in your drawer, an AWS EC2 instance, a Hetzner box, or Cloud Burst on the Cloudflare and Vercel accounts you connect.
Enroll a device once and the work runs there. Shut your laptop and the agents keep building - all completely under your control, one fleet, one surface.

11 · Questions
The honest fine print.
Short answers here, the long ones in the docs.
What does it cost?
The Continuum app is free. Bring your own Claude, Codex, or other provider keys and you pay those labs directly - no Continuum fee and no markup. Optional hosted inference is Plus at $25/mo, Max 100 at $100/mo, Max 200 at $200/mo, and Ultra at $500/mo, each step up raising the weekly hosted allowance. See pricing for the full ladder.
How does it use my subscription instead of an API key?
Continuum drives each provider's official CLI under your existing login - in a real PTY or the vendor's own harness, the same way you'd run it in a terminal. Usage lands on your flat-rate plan. Nothing is proxied, marked up, or man-in-the-middled. If you want a model you don't subscribe to, bring an API key through OpenRouter - one key, 100+ models.
Is it really vendor-neutral?
Yes. Claude, Codex, Cursor, Grok, OpenCode, Antigravity, z.ai, and 100+ models via OpenRouter all run in the same Chat and Code workbench. Pick a different agent per session and run them side by side - no vendor is privileged, none is locked in.
Can I really stack two Claude accounts?
Yes. Work and personal Claude (or Codex) subscriptions sit side by side, config-isolated, each with its own gauge. Pin a session to whichever one you like; when one runs hot, switch and keep working. As much compute as you own, no overage bills.
Do sessions keep running when I close my laptop?
Yes, if the session is running on another device. Enroll any Linux or Mac box - an old laptop, an AWS EC2 instance, a Hetzner server - or use serverless Cloud Burst on Cloudflare or Vercel accounts you connect. The work runs there, so you can shut the machine in front of you and check back from any surface.
Where does my code and data live?
On your machines. Transcripts, analytics, and keys are parsed and stored locally on the Mac. Telemetry isn't one of the categories of data that can leave it, and remote traffic is end-to-end encrypted - the relay sees envelope lengths, not contents.
