What you install for clients
Every Built for Cloud app is open source, public on GitHub, and runs in the owner’s own infrastructure.
Draw
Laravel
Draw gives each person private boards and lets them share a board with one teammate or the whole team, with view or edit access. It uses the excellent Excalidraw editor, adds read-only signed links and live WebSocket updates, and gives agents an MCP door for sketching.
Self-hosted application telemetry: slow requests, slow queries, job durations, exceptions, rolled into daily aggregates you can query across deploys. It also exposes an MCP server, so an agent can answer "what's my slowest query?" from your own data.
Background removal as an API you own: submit an image, poll the job, fetch a transparent PNG, on your compute and your storage instead of a per-image invoice. Classical and ML modes are both built in, and anything that can speak HTTP can call it.
Install SimpleStats for free into your own GitHub and Laravel Cloud accounts. You run the app independently after installation and pay Laravel Cloud for the infrastructure.
A mail trap for staging and CI: outbound mail is captured to an inbox your team can read instead of being delivered. Laravel apps get a drop-in mail transport; anything else posts to the ingest endpoint, and a body-blind MCP server lets agents assert on mail without reading it.
Experimental apps deploy through Scalpels for supporters only: they get them early, and installing one costs nothing extra. Everyone else can deploy it free once it officially launches.
Laravel
See which providers and models your Laravel AI applications call, how many tokens they use, which runs fail, and what happened inside each tree. Assay keeps that telemetry on infrastructure you control and turns selected production traffic into curated JSONL datasets.

A simple webhook gateway that captures incoming webhooks and passes them on to a single destination.

Capstan is a self-hosted Laravel application an organisation forks, deploys to its own infrastructure, and runs for itself. It ships two capabilities: artifact hosting for privately stored HTML served through signed, expiring links from an isolated origin, and Postmaster, a signed message bus command-line agents poll to hand work to each other. One deployment belongs to one organisation, which owns the server, database, and data.

Crate is a fork-and-deploy Satis wrapper behind a credential gate: register the private repositories you want to serve, build Composer metadata and mirrored dist archives, then point your own applications at your Crate host. Each deployment is single-tenant by construction and lives in your own Laravel Cloud account, with no per-seat bill and no third party holding your private packages. It is headless in this release: access is credential-level rather than per-package.

Any stack
A scheduled task that silently stops running is the failure nothing complains about. Muster is the thing that complains: every task gets a monitor with an expected rhythm, and a run that does not report in on time goes late, then missed, and raises an email or a webhook. Connect a Laravel app and each of its scheduled commands registers itself on its first run — with no per-monitor billing.

Laravel
Session replay you host yourself, recorded with rrweb, so recordings of your users stay on your own infrastructure. It captures sanitised DOM events rather than video, and correlates a session with the Laravel request behind it, so an error you are chasing arrives with the recording of the person who hit it.

Any stack
Sesame answers SES v2 SendEmail calls, draws a seeded outcome for every recipient, and posts SNS notifications signed in the real format back to your webhook. It keeps the ground truth, so a staging load run checks correctness as well as speed. It is an experimental proof of concept: an install does not yet run the data plane, so it is not ready for real use.

Laravel
See which screens your NativePHP app's users reach, how sessions and releases behave, and which PHP errors they hit — without shipping device telemetry to somebody else's analytics account. The server runs in your own Laravel Cloud account and your agents read it over MCP.

Laravel
Every Laravel application you run ships its log lines to one Wake installation, which keeps them as Parquet on your own bucket and a small query plane in your own Postgres. There is no human log viewer: agents read across all of your apps through one MCP server, so "which apps are throwing this exception?" is a question you can ask rather than a morning of tab-switching.

Prepare one PDF, send it to parallel signers, collect typed or drawn signatures, and deliver a completed copy with an audit trail and Certificate of Completion. Witness runs in your own Laravel Cloud account and stays deliberately on the simple-signature side of the line.
