Boxes.dev
boxes.dev provides dedicated cloud Linux machines, called devboxes, for AI coding agents like Claude Code and Codex, allowing developers to start and manage agents from Slack, Linear, schedules, or an API. Each devbox includes a full filesystem, port forwarding, and a preinstalled dev environment, with automatic sleeping to control costs. The platform includes native mobile apps for iOS and Android, enabling developers to steer agents and review work from anywhere.

Problem
AI coding agents typically run in local worktrees, which ties them to a single machine and requires the user to remain present. This limits parallelism, makes remote steering difficult, and prevents agents from continuing work while the developer is away or on another device.
Solution
boxes.dev gives every AI coding agent its own dedicated cloud Linux machine, called a devbox, with a full filesystem, preinstalled dev environment, and port forwarding to localhost. Users can start agents from Slack, Linear, a schedule, or a single API call, and receive results in the same context where the work was requested. Since each devbox is isolated by default, agents can run in parallel without resource conflicts or port juggling. Devboxes sleep automatically when idle, so agents keep working when you close your laptop, and only active machines incur costs.
Target Audience
Primary users are software developers and engineering teams who use AI coding agents like Codex or Claude and need scalable, remote-managed execution environments integrated into their existing Slack, Linear, and CI workflows.
Features
- Full cloud Linux computers with own filesystem, port forwarding to localhost, and preinstalled dev environment
- Native Slack integration: tag @boxes.dev in any channel or thread to start work and get results in-thread
- Linear integration: assign an issue to boxes.dev and the agent reports back with outputs or PRs attached
- Scheduled runs via cron for Codex or Claude, enabling nightly QA, recurring updates, or commit reviews
- REST API that starts a devbox and thread with a single POST request, supporting webhooks and CI triggers
- Native iOS and Android apps for reading threads, replying, inspecting files, and opening a shell on a devbox
- Runs native Claude Code and Codex signed in with existing Claude or ChatGPT plans or API keys
- Team Templates that start projects from a team's saved repositories, tools, and dependencies with personal configuration files
