Cloud that never takes your source

Rig Cloud is an optional account on userig.app. It stores catalog metadata, preferences, Live Link state, and Continuity snapshots encrypted on the device before upload. Continuity is a backup of setup — env shape, ports, project list — so a new computer can restore how you work. It is not a git host and not a remote workspace. The desktop app remains useful if cloud is down. Rig is free forever on your computer on the Hobby plan. Pro, Team and Agency add Mesh machines, relay and seats; see userig.app/pricing. Use cloud when you have two computers or need a client preview URL. Skip it if one machine and local processes are enough.

Cloud · optional

A cloud account links your desktop app — it doesn't host your code.

Think keychain for Rig settings, not GitHub and not hosting. Identity, devices and non-secret preferences that follow you from one computer to another.

What goes where

Your code stays put. Your settings travel.

Stays on your computer

  • Project folders and source code
  • Absolute paths on disk
  • Running processes, logs and terminals
  • Local databases and .env files
  • Git history and tokens in Keychain

Syncs when you say so

  • Preferences, groups and presets
  • Linked devices + health heartbeats
  • Remote start / stop for assigned projects
  • Team activity: who started what
  • Continuity: encrypted setup snapshots, never source trees
Four steps, two computers

How the account works.

  1. 01

    Create the account here

    Email and password at api.userig.app. It is separate from your code and your git host.

  2. 02

    Sign in on your Mac

    The session is stored encrypted in Keychain, and this Mac registers as one of your devices.

  3. 03

    Sync settings

    Rig pulls your preferences, groups and presets, and pushes anything newer. File paths stay local.

  4. 04

    Another computer? Same account

    Install Rig, sign in, press Sync now. The code never left the first disk.

Continuity

Lose the computer, not the setup.

Continuity is an encrypted backup of your Rig setup, made on your computer before it is uploaded. You get a recovery key once (it starts RIG-CONT-…) and without it nobody can decrypt the backup. Including us.

Turn it on

Enable Continuity from the desktop app after you sign in (Settings → Continuity), or from the cloud dashboard. Snapshots cover your registry and preferences, never your source trees. Backups can run daily or weekly while Rig is open.

01
In the backup
  • Projects registry & groups
  • Prefs, presets, MCP settings
  • Handoff snapshots
  • Vault ciphertext (still end-to-end)
Never in it
  • Source trees, .git, node_modules
  • Raw .env / plaintext secrets
  • GitHub PATs, device private keys

Rig works without it. It is better with it.
