Cloud dev environments for agentic coding. Run each Claude Code or Codex chat on its own computer in the cloud, connect from mobile and desktop, and code from anywhere.
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!
Nice! One thing I use all the time with claude code on my local is the secrets (.dev.vars, .envrc) so I can test things like OAuth flows or 3p integrations. How do you handle that with boxes.dev? Is there a secure way for me to put secrets on the boxes?
One thing that seems under-discussed with cloud coding environments is continuity.
Are users primarily spinning up fresh environments for each task, or do the most active users end up building long-lived workspaces that accumulate context over time?
Congrats on the launch Nick and Drew!
Early user of Boxes, and a big big fan. Some of my workloads are multi-hour so I’d previously have to either delay kicking it off or walking around with my laptop open (if you’ve been around South Park in SF you may have seen me doing this 😅).
Boxes has made this so much more convenient. But also broadly I’ve just started spending way less time at my computer, doing my thinking on whiteboards and notebooks, compiling requirements that way before kicking off tasks via my phone instead.
And for those wondering “why not use the cloud hosted versions of Claude Code or Codex” - for me a lot of it is down to needing local instances of a db for testing, wanting playwright screenshots for certain tasks when completed, etc. it’s literally my computer on the cloud.
Congrats on the launch! I've been playing around with the platform for a while now and have been blown away
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!
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?
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
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.

Who hunted Boxes.dev?
Boxes.dev was hunted by Nick Bushak. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post.
