Potluck by Sengi

Everyone brings a computer. Everyone eats.

Potluck lets a group of friends pool their machines. Anyone in the group can start a sandbox or run a GitHub Actions job on someone's spare computer, like developing on your friend's Mac Studio while they sleep.

How a potluck works

  1. Start one

    Make a potluck for your team or friends. No account and no card.

  2. Invite people

    Send each person a one-time invite code. They join with it.

  3. Lend a machine

    Anyone can share a Mac or Linux box. Potluck checks it first and says what it can safely offer.

  4. Use the table

    Start a sandbox, copy files in, open a shell, or point a GitHub Actions job at the group.

What you're agreeing to

Your machine stays yours

Work runs in a throwaway virtual machine, never on your own system. When you come back to your Mac, you can take it back right away.

Secrets go only where you trust

Each machine is marked trusted or public. Jobs that need your keys and tokens run only on trusted ones. Public machines get only plain sandboxes.

No promises, honestly

Potluck is free software you run with people you know. Use it at your own risk. There's no company in the middle of your group's machines.

Open to contributions

The code will be public under the Apache 2.0 license. Anyone can suggest changes; the maintainers review and merge them.

Potluck is made by Sengi. Sengi runs fast hosted GitHub Actions runners for teams who would rather not lend their own machines.
