Boxes.dev

TL;DR

It provides isolated cloud sandboxes for AI coding agents so they don't accidentally trash your local environment or leak secrets.

Who is this actually for?

Paranoid developers and engineering teams using Claude Code who want a controlled, reproducible execution layer.

The Good

• Prevents AI agents from having direct access to your physical machine and local files.
• Standardizes the environment so 'it works on my machine' isn't an issue for your AI agent.

The Catch (Potential Downsides)

You are essentially paying a premium for managed infrastructure that you could probably hack together with Docker and a VPS if you had the time.
