Boxes.dev
What is Boxes.dev?
Boxes.dev is a cloud development environment platform specifically built for agentic coding. It provides full, isolated Linux virtual machines (VMs) for each individual Claude Code or Codex chat thread. This allows developers to run coding agents in parallel, let them work overnight while the laptop is closed, and monitor or steer them seamlessly from mobile, desktop, or CLI interfaces without resource constraints or complicated dev setup scripts.
How to use Boxes.dev?
To use Boxes.dev, move your project codebase into a cloud devbox using the CLI command `dvb init`. The platform automatically scans your local dev environment and creates a setup plan. Once approved, a coding agent recreates your dev environment in the cloud. You can then fork the primary VM to run tasks on their own machines, start Codex or Claude Code, and review, steer, or ship code from mobile, desktop, or CLI surfaces.
Boxes.dev's Core Features
Full cloud computer per agent with isolated filesystem, services, and database state
Instant snapshots and forks for running multiple agents in parallel
Persistent terminal sessions and continuous background execution when offline
Multi-surface control supporting macOS desktop, iOS/Android mobile, and scriptable CLI
Localhost port forwarding that automatically follows the selected fork
Cloud scheduled and webhook automation triggers (e.g., via Slack or Linear)
Boxes.dev's Use Cases
Running multiple Claude Code or Codex tasks simultaneously on separate virtual machines
Leaving complex coding agent tasks running overnight or while traveling without keeping a laptop open
Reviewing agent threads, diffs, and approving or steering code changes directly from a smartphone
Automating regular codebase tasks like weekly dependency audits triggered on a schedule
