Get started with Juiced

Requirements, Juiced account sign-in, Claude Code login, and your first persistent cloud workspace.

What you need

Node.js 22 or later on the machine running the Juiced CLI.
Git for working with a Git repository.
A Juiced account with managed access, or your own configured Cantelop deployment.
Your own Claude account with Claude Code access. Juiced does not include Claude model usage.

See pricing for managed access. For building the CLI from source or configuring a self-managed deployment, follow the repository setup guide.

Sign in to Juiced

With the CLI installed, sign in to your Juiced account using GitHub or Google. This account controls your managed workspaces and compute.

juiced login
juiced whoami

For a terminal without a browser, use juiced login --no-browser.

Open your project and sign in to Claude

Change to your project directory before signing in to Claude. The directory selects your workspace. Claude login is separate from Juiced account login and is saved in that workspace.

cd your-project
juiced claude login
juiced claude

Follow the Claude sign-in URL and enter the returned authorization code in your terminal. You can review Claude Code access requirements in Anthropic’s authentication documentation.

Ask Claude to work

Type a prompt in your local terminal. Claude’s tools run in the cloud workspace. For a Git repository, the first launch copies committed history from your local HEAD; uncommitted files require an explicit transfer.

Use /detach to leave a turn running, then run juiced claude in the same terminal tab and project to reconnect.

Review and bring back the result

juiced claude peek --changes-only
juiced claude sync --from-workspace

The import brings back commits without changing your local files. Follow the Git transfer guide to review and apply them. Learn what persists between sessions before starting another project.
