Hi Product Hunt! It's great to be back with a new launch. Fond memories of launching my last company, Gem, here way back in 2017!
We’re Nick and Drew, and we’re building boxes.dev – the first cloud-only agentic dev environment (ADE) that gives every Codex and Claude Code agent its own cloud computer.
We spent the last year coding almost exclusively with Codex / Claude Code, but got tired of leaving our laptops cracked open and dealing with clunky git worktrees. Developing on localhost was holding us back, so we decided to build the cloud-based ADE that we wished existed.
We’re obviously biased, but we’ve been building boxes.dev with boxes.dev for months and it’s been a gamechanger – it’s hard to imagine going back.
Key features:
Super easy setup (our agent scans your local dev setup and ports it to the cloud)
Full-featured desktop, CLI, and mobile app (not just handoffs or remote control)
Uses your Claude Code / Codex subscription (native harnesses & familiar UX)
Your coding agents can run/test your full app end-to-end in isolation
Scheduled automations & Slack integration
Optimized for parallel agent workflows
All new users get 10 free box-hours to test it out at boxes.dev. Hope you’ll give it a try – would love any and all feedback!
@nbushak Looks great! Can the agents spin up playwright for tests?

@patrickkavanagh They can! This is one of the reasons we built Boxes.dev. The models are great at testing their own work now with things like playwright. But having 5 copies of our app running locally and 5 copies of chromium so each of our parallel coding agents could test independently was getting out of hand on our laptops. With Boxes.dev, each thread/agent gets its own independent VM and filesystem, so you're not running out of resources.
This looks great Nick, congrats on launching! Having a way to give Claude its own computer rather than trusting it with your own (terrifying) is a real smart idea and the space is heating up. I'm rooting for y'all and will be sure to try it out!

Awesome idea. Have several my own boxes in USA running under my TV. However now I am traveling in Asia and latency makes work uncomfortable. Hope your boxes will be fast.

Does it have access to mcp and skills? can it run things like playwright mcp? how does it work? I could be very interested to use it in my startup

This looks great. I spend a lot of time running coding agents so giving each one its own machine makes a lot of sense. Can you run several agents in parallel on the same repo?
