What is CoCalc?
Hello, and welcome to CoCalc, an online platform for learning, teaching, writing, research, development - anything where you need to calculate or collaborate!

code in Jupyter Notebooks as well as in R, C, Julia, and other languages;
have changes synchronized among all of you in real-time;
access collaborative Linux Terminal and X11 Graphical Applications;
use AI Assistant to help you fix errors, generate content, or suggest improvements;
rely on TimeTravel to view the history of edits or to revert to a previous version;
publish your work letting others to build on top of it easily;
run familiar tools including JupyterLab, VS Code, Pluto, and R IDE;
spin up a Compute Server when you need dedicated resources including multiple GPUs;
create a Cloud File System to store unlimited amount of data;
teach a course with auto grading or run a workshop with handouts;

Pick a Subscription
Initially, you start with a Trial Project that has quite limited compute resources and no access to the Internet to download data from other servers or install extra packages. Its purpose is to give you a sense of the interface and software environment.
To greatly improve your experience, subscribe to our standard plan or configure a custom one (you can adjust resources later at any time). If you need to test paid access as well and your organization has a complicated reimbursement process, contact us to easily get a voucher! All we ask for in return is to provide us with a feedback on your testing, in particular any blocker issues, so that we can resolve them.
