Nick and Drew launched boxes.dev, a cloud‑only agentic dev environment that gives each Claude Code and Codex agent a dedicated remote machine. After a year of coding exclusively with those models, they found local setups crippled parallel work—git worktrees were cumbersome, laptops remained open, and mobile support lagged. Their new platform moves the entire stack to the cloud significantly today.

The service scans a developer’s local configuration, creates a snapshot, and launches an isolated filesystem for each thread. This eliminates the need for git worktrees and lets agents run full applications end‑to‑end in isolation. boxes.dev mirrors the Claude Code and Codex user experience, adds a native mobile client, scheduled automations, and Slack integration for team workflows across organizations globally.

Early beta testers report that moving off localhost speeds up parallel testing and frees hardware constraints, making agentic coding feel more fluid. By offloading compute, developers can focus on prompting instead of machine management. boxes.dev positions itself as the first full‑stack cloud IDE built around AI agents, effectively redefining the developer workflow for large teams seeking scalable automation today.
