Cloud computers that run Claude Code and Codex while your laptop is closed
Y Combinator F26What is boxes.dev?
boxes.dev is cloud computers that run Claude Code and Codex while your laptop is closed. ZeroCrew lists it after checking it works for a company with no employees.
boxes.dev gives each coding agent its own Linux machine in the cloud with your dev environment already set up, so several agents can work in parallel without sharing a worktree. You bring your own Claude or Codex subscription and start agents from Slack, a Linear issue, a schedule or an API call, and they report back where you asked, with pull requests attached. You can steer them, approve requests and review diffs from the desktop app, your phone or a terminal. Idle machines go to sleep on their own.
