Amp
Coding agent that keeps working on its own cloud machine.
Amp is a coding agent and development environment. Each agent runs on its own cloud machine, called an orb, and can keep working after you close your laptop. Sourcegraph's December 2025 post says Amp is now a separate company. On October 29, 2026 Amp announced macOS Satellites in beta: when an iOS or Mac task needs it, the Linux orb can start a temporary cloud Mac with Xcode and simulators, build and test there, and then delete the Mac. Nothing on that Mac is saved. Access is a waitlist under Settings, Experimental Features.
Where it ranks

Codingof 15
Sixth when you want an agent that keeps working on its own cloud machine after you close the laptop. It sits behind Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, and Copilot, which match how most people write code all day, and behind Devin for handing a task to an autonomous engineer. The Mac builds are a waitlisted beta, not the default setup.
