About Ghost
We build for the work that runs without you.
Ghost started with one annoyance: closing a laptop should not kill a job that was still running.
We spent our days leaving agents, builds, and syncs running, then watching them die the moment a lid closed or a screen slept. Every fix was a compromise: a menu-bar app, a login item, a script that jiggles a fake mouse and lies to the operating system about what you're doing.
So we built the thing we wanted on our own desks. A small piece of standard USB hardware that keeps a machine awake and stays honest about it. Nothing to install, no input to fake, nothing hidden from your OS or the people who manage it.
The gap we saw
Coding agents made unattended runs normal. Claude Code, Codex, and long builds now work for hours while you're away from the desk. The tools to keep a laptop awake never caught up; they were built to fake activity for a timesheet, not to hold a real job open with the lid shut.
We wanted assurance, not a trick.
What we make
Ghost is one product, done carefully: a keep-awake dongle that reads as plain USB hardware. We would rather ship a small thing that is obvious and honest than a clever one you have to trust. The same standard holds for everything we add next.
We are a small team building the unglamorous hardware that serious work depends on. No app to babysit, no policy to dodge. Plug it in, close the lid, and let the run finish.
