Desktop mode costs 1.5x the same runner size in headless mode. Destroy environments when the task is done and verify STOPPED - NOT BILLABLE . Pricing And Credits Credits measure active environment time. Headless mode is the lower-cost route for most LLM verification, and desktop mode costs 1.5x the same size because it runs a visible Linux desktop and stream. The current credit unit is $ 0.001 /credit, so 1,000 credits equals $1 of compute. Pick size from the workload instead of a fixed default. Use nano only for clearly tiny work, small for lightweight apps, standard for general unknown apps, and larger sizes for Docker-heavy, JVM/Android, native build, monorepo, or disk-heavy tasks. Size affects credit burn and resource headroom. For example, nano headless is $0.07 /hr ( 66.6 credits/hr); standard headless is $0.17 /hr ( 165.6 credits/hr). Workspace subscriptions are managed from the pricing page. If the included credits in your plan are not enough, email ben@trycase.dev for a manual top-up. View full pricing Install The published CLI connects to production by default. Use a one-off command runner, or install it globally when you want trycase available in every shell. npx trycase@latest login bunx trycase@latest login pnpm dlx trycase@latest login npm install -g trycase@latest Agent Skills Install the universal TryCase skills so your coding agent knows the upload-first route, how to run Linux apps in a disposable environment, how to refresh TryCase skills, how to keep the TryCase CLI current, and how to return proof instead of asking you to test manually. npx skills add bencsn/trycase-skills --skill trycase-cli --skill trycase-run-linux-app -g npx skills update -g trycase-cli trycase-run-linux-app npx skills add bencsn/trycase-skills --list After installing, ask your agent: Use $trycase-run-linux-app to run this repo in TryCase and return screenshots, recordings, logs, and cleanup status. Mental Model TryCase has three product objects and a few command namespaces. Once these are clear, the CLI reads much more predictably. Objects Workspace The billing, credits, members, and projects a user or team can access. Project Reusable setup: source route, default size, default environment mode, runtime settings, and project secrets. Environment One disposable running Linux machine. Create it, wait until ready, upload code, run work, collect proof, then destroy it. Command Surfaces --mode headless Default CLI and LLM mode. Supports terminal, filesystem, browser automation, screenshots, recordings, logs, metrics, and artifacts without a visible desktop. --mode desktop Visible Linux desktop mode. Use when the task needs a live desktop link, desktop apps, mouse, keyboard, windows, or clipboard. trycase computer ... Cross-mode status and browser automation commands for the environment computer. This is a command namespace, not a --mode value. trycase desktop ... Visible desktop commands. These require a desktop-mode environment. trycase terminal ... Persistent CLI terminal sessions in the environment. They do not appear as windows in the live desktop. trycase fs ... Filesystem commands for reading, writing, uploading directories, and staging files as artifacts. There is no --mode computer . Use --mode headless or --mode desktop . The trycase computer ... commands are for cross-mode status and browser automation. Choose A Route Most users should start with upload-first. Keep source control decisions outside TryCase for now: create a disposable environment, upload the working tree, run checks, collect proof, then destroy it. Upload-first Best first run for local code and new users. project create --source none --mode headless --size <chosen-size> , env create --size <chosen-size> , fs upload <env> . . --respect-gitignore Desktop Use when the user needs to watch/control a visible Linux desktop, desktop APIs, or a manual user step such as login, OAuth consent, CAPTCHA, passkey, 2FA/OTP, payment confirmation, account creation, or browser extension approval. env create --mode desktop --size <chosen-size> , env view --no-open , desktop app launch Blank environment Use when no app is needed; useful for scripts, one-off Linux checks, and scratch work. project create --source none --runtime none , terminal open , env exec # Visible desktop for live viewing, desktop APIs, or manual user action trycase env create --project <project> --mode desktop --size <chosen-size> trycase env wait <env> trycase env view <env> --no-open trycase desktop app launch <env> terminal trycase desktop app launch <env> browser http://localhost:3000 trycase desktop screenshot <env> trycase desktop recording start <env> trycase desktop recording stop <env> trycase env destroy <env> # Blank cloud computer, no code checkout required trycase project create --source none --name scratch --mode headless --size <chosen-size> trycase env create --project <project> --size <chosen-size> trycase env wait <env> trycase fs upload <env> . . --respect-gitignore trycase terminal open <env> trycase terminal write <session> "printf 'console.log(2 + 2)\n' > scratch.js && node scratch.js" --env <env> --enter --wait-for 4 trycase env destroy <env> Runtime Settings If the uploaded working tree contains trycase.yaml , the runner reads that file inside the environment. If it is missing, TryCase falls back to saved project runtime settings from the dashboard or CLI. Runner size and environment mode are allocation settings selected before work starts, so set them with project defaults or env create flags. Supported runtimes none Starts a blank cloud computer with terminal, browser, filesystem, and artifact tools. Desktop tools depend on environment mode. No source code is cloned. docker-compose Uses a Compose file and app URL. npm Runs install and start commands with npm. pnpm Runs install and start commands with pnpm. yarn Runs install and start commands with yarn. bun Runs install and start commands with Bun. Runner sizes Use nano , small , standard , or large . Choose from repository inspection: memory needs, CPU-heavy builds/tests, disk use, upload size, Docker services, language runtime, and whether a visible desktop is needed. large is currently the largest public-beta size. nano 1 vCPU, 1 GiB RAM, 10 GiB disk Tiny scripts, static pages, simple frontends, docs/tools, and quick smoke checks. small 1 vCPU, 2 GiB RAM, 20 GiB disk Lightweight Node/Python/Go apps, simple APIs, and modest dependency installs. standard 2 vCPU, 4 GiB RAM, 40 GiB disk General unknown apps, normal web apps, Docker Compose, databases, moderate builds, and most desktop checks. large 4 vCPU, 8 GiB RAM, 80 GiB disk Monorepos, heavier Compose stacks, JVM/Rails/native builds, larger test suites, and sizable artifacts. trycase project manifest generate \ --project <project> \ --runtime npm \ --install "npm install" \ --start "npm run dev" \ --app-url http://localhost:3000 \ --healthcheck http://localhost:3000 \ --size <chosen-size> \ --mode headless Environment Modes Use --mode headless for CLI and LLM verification: terminal, browser automation, filesystem, logs, screenshots, recordings, and artifacts. Use --mode desktop when the task needs a visible Linux desktop, desktop apps, mouse/keyboard/window APIs, a live view the user will watch, or a manual user step such as login, OAuth consent, CAPTCHA, passkey, 2FA/OTP, payment confirmation, account creation, or browser extension approval.

Values are encrypted at rest, shared by every environment for the project, and never shown back to users. Scope Secrets are project-scoped in V1. Every environment and worktree for the same project receives the same secret set. Values Secret values are write-only. Users can set, unset, import, and list names, but TryCase never returns plaintext values. Names Use env-var-safe uppercase names such as APP_SECRET. Reserved names like PATH, HOME, DISPLAY, CI, TRYCASE_*, and CONVEX_* are rejected. Precedence Saved manifest secret declarations override saved dashboard declarations for the same output path or hook ID. Files Generated dotenv files are written inside the repo with 0600 permissions. Absolute paths, traversal, .git paths, and symlink escapes are rejected. Hooks Hooks run with secrets in the environment at before_install, before_start, or after_start. The default is before_install.

LLM Operating Guide This flow is designed for coding agents that need to verify web apps, run arbitrary terminal work, collect proof, and use a real desktop only when the task needs one. Start by running trycase login . If a browser cannot be opened, run trycase login --no-open and ask the user to approve the printed URL. Run trycase workspace list . If no workspace is selected, run trycase workspace use <workspace> or trycase workspace create --name <name> . For local project work, use the upload route. Inspect the repo first, choose the smallest likely size that fits memory, CPU, disk, and build needs, then create a No Source project with --mode headless --size <chosen-size> . Before using local dotenv files, ask the user. If approved, import them with project secret import --file .env.local and generate dotenv files with project secret file add before creating the environment. Create missing projects with trycase project create --source none --name <name> --size <chosen-size> . Keep workspace, project, command, and environment IDs in your notes. Run trycase project list and pick the project ID. Check runtime settings with trycase project manifest show --project <project> . If the uploaded working tree contains trycase.yaml , the runner reads that file inside the environment; otherwise it falls back to saved project settings. If the project needs secrets, use project secret list , project secret required list , project secret file list , and project secret hook list before launching. Never pass secret values in command arguments. Use project secret set --value-stdin , --env , --file , or project secret import --file .env . Create the environment with trycase env create --project <project> --size <chosen-size> . Add --mode desktop when the task needs a visible desktop or a manual user step. Do not use --mode computer ; valid environment modes are headless and desktop . trycase computer ... is a command namespace for status and browser automation. Run trycase env wait <env> before sending commands. Use trycase env list --active --json before cleanup or after interruptions to discover any active billable environments. After env exec or browser commands, run trycase command wait <command> to retrieve the result. Run trycase computer status <env> --json to discover capabilities before using terminal, browser, filesystem, or artifact commands. Use terminal open , terminal write , terminal wait-for , and terminal read for persistent CLI sessions. These sessions are controlled by the CLI and do not appear as windows in the live desktop. Use fs write --file for one local file, fs upload <env> . . --respect-gitignore for a local directory, and fs artifact to turn generated files into artifacts. Directory uploads are capped by environment size: nano 2 GiB, small 4 GiB, standard 8 GiB, and large 16 GiB uncompressed. Prefer computer browser snapshot before clicks. Use text or selector refs from the snapshot before coordinate clicks. Use desktop app launch for Terminal, Chrome, and Files only on desktop-mode environments when the task requires a real visible computer instead of headless browser control. If the app needs manual login, OAuth consent, CAPTCHA, passkey, 2FA/OTP, payment confirmation, account creation, browser extension approval, or another human-only step, use desktop mode, run trycase env view <env> --no-open , give the user the live desktop URL, ask them to take control there, and pause until they confirm the step is complete. Never ask users to paste passwords, OTPs, or CAPTCHA answers into chat, and do not try to bypass anti-abuse checks. Use desktop screenshot , desktop mouse , desktop keyboard , and desktop window commands to click, drag, resize, switch apps, and capture the visible desktop state.

Do not pass secret values as CLI arguments. Use stdin, environment variables, files, or dotenv import after explicit approval. Use generated dotenv files or hooks for framework-specific config instead of committing local secret files. Use No Source projects and upload the working tree for verification runs. Keep source-control changes in your normal local workflow. Do not modify a main branch just for verification. Use env destroy --all-active before stopping an automation-heavy session. Use env usage or env status to confirm active and billable state. Prefer snapshots and semantic refs for browser control; use coordinates only when necessary. For manual login, CAPTCHA, 2FA, payment, or other human-only flows, use desktop mode and the live desktop take-control link instead of asking for sensitive values in chat. Troubleshooting Login expires Run trycase login again. Login approvals are short lived and one time use. Missing required secret Run trycase project secret list --project <project> and set missing values with --value-stdin , --env , --file , or import --file . Need a blank computer Choose a size for the task, create a No Source project with trycase project create --source none --name scratch --mode headless --size <chosen-size> , then launch it with trycase env create --project <project> --size <chosen-size> . No source code will be cloned. Desktop command says headless Create a desktop environment with trycase env create --project <project> --mode desktop --size <chosen-size> . Headless environments still support terminal, browser automation, filesystem, logs, screenshots, recordings, and artifacts. Manual login or CAPTCHA Create a desktop environment, open the app there, run trycase env view <env> --no-open , and give the user that live desktop link so they can take control. Do not ask for passwords, OTPs, or CAPTCHA answers in chat. App needs .env.local Declare a generated dotenv file with trycase project secret file add --path .env.local --include NAME , or put the declaration in trycase.yaml . Secret appears in output TryCase redacts known project secret values from runner output. If you find an unredacted value, destroy the environment and rotate the secret. Environment stays queued Check env status . If it does not progress, destroy it and create a fresh environment. Command only prints an ID Use trycase command wait <command> , then env logs <env> for broader environment logs. Upload misses files Check your .gitignore and rerun trycase fs upload <env> . . --respect-gitignore , or upload a narrower directory explicitly.
