Hello, turtle.

May 22, 2026 · The UpTurtle team

Hi.

You found us early. Welcome.

UpTurtle is a hosting platform for the kind of applications that get built by one person with an AI on a Sunday afternoon. We lovingly call those people vibe coders: we made the place where the things vibe coders build can live and be shared.

The pitch, in one paragraph

Your AI agent already knows how to write code. It does not know where to put that code so real humans can use it. UpTurtle provides the “where” and the expertise to use it.

Here’s the loop:

  • You vibe up a great idea.
  • You ask your agent to deploy to UpTurtle.
  • Your agent pushes your app to us.
  • We give you a real URL to send your group chat.
  • You add a feature and do it again.

What we are

  • Passionate about building software that feels good to use.
  • Focused on staying great at the small things rather than infinite growth.
  • Two grizzled (and perhaps jaded) software veterans with decades of experience.
  • Cheap.

What we are not

  • A megacorp.
  • A platform that wants you to “scale”.
  • A YAML cathedral.
  • Free.

We are pretty cheap, though. $5 a month per app, with a 14-day trial. No surprise overages. If you outgrow us, we will not chain you to a bedpost: your container is yours, take it anywhere (even a megacorp 😢).

What’s next

We are still adding to UpTurtle, building things that make it even easier and more fun for vibe coders to use.

If you want to follow UpTurtle on our journey, this blog is the place. We will write here when we ship things, when we change our minds, and occasionally when the turtle does something unexpected.

❤️ Will and Daniel
