Machines
Persistent Linux VMs with 2 vCPU, 8 GB of RAM and 100 GB of disk by default. SSH in and it's yours.

Machines that remember
Running processes, open files, and shell state all survive between sessions.

Integrations & automations in every machine
Persistent by default
Persistent, hardware-level isolated Linux machines for your team and your agents. They cost nothing while they sleep.
Used for
Fork a machine, mid-run
Live memory forking of machines, in 100-200ms, allows you to experiment at the speed of thought. Live memory forks include:
- running processes
- databases
- everything on the machine
Stop rebuilding the same environment
Install your application or workspace once, and use it as the starting point for all your work. Every machine you use has everything set up and running inside: data, apps, rules, skills, and more.
Built for flexibility and control
boxd hands you the whole platform to configure, not a black box. Add checkpoints to your VMs and take snapshots to restore from, and give your organisation its own private domains, variables and secrets.
Configure your favorite integrations inside your private VMs and automate whatever you want.
A computer per agent. Per branch. Per developer
A dev box, an agent, and a preview for a pull request are the same thing underneath. These are the tools you get for all of them.
Forks
Copy a running machine, disk and all, in 100 to 200ms. The copy is a real machine, not a container on top of yours.
boxd machine fork aliceSnapshots
Freeze a machine and bring it back later in the state you left it, down to the running processes.
boxd snapshots save aliceCheckpoints
Roll a machine back to exactly where it was. Memory and disk, restored in place — a save point on the machine you already have, not a new one.
boxd machine checkpoint save aliceIntegrations
Connect GitHub, Linear or Slack once and every machine in the org has it. The MCP server installs straight into Claude Code, Codex or opencode.
boxd manage integrations connect linearDomains
Every machine gets an HTTPS subdomain. Point your own domain at it when you're ready.
boxd machine proxy add api --vm alice --port 3000Environment vars
Share secrets across machines, scoped to your org rather than pasted per box.
boxd env set STRIPE_KEY --secretAPI keys
Drive all of it from the CLI, the API, or your CI job.
boxd auth keys createA real KVM virtual machine with its own Linux kernel, not a container sharing the host's. Every machine is Ubuntu 24.04 with root, systemd, and the docker group, so Docker, Postgres, and anything else that needs real kernel features run the way they do on a laptop. It also means a kernel exploit inside one machine does not reach the host or its neighbours, which is what makes it safe to hand an agent root and walk away.
It keeps running. Builds, background jobs, and agent tasks carry on after the SSH session drops, and your files, installed packages, and shell state are still there when you come back. Machines that go quiet suspend to disk and resume in under a millisecond on the next connection, so you land back in the same processes instead of waiting for a boot.
Billing is credit-based: €0.049 per vCPU-hour and €0.015 per GiB-hour of RAM while a machine runs, and disk at €0.0001 per GiB-hour on what is actually used. A default machine (2 vCPU, 8 GiB) is about €0.22 per hour while it works, and a hibernated machine pays for disk only, so a fleet of agent VMs only runs up a bill while it is working. Every new account starts with €30 of free credits. For bigger machines or a higher machine quota, email contact@boxd.sh.
A founder. Every account starts with a 25-minute call where we provision your first machine with you, and after that you have a direct line to the engineers who built the platform. There is no ticket queue and nobody working from a first-line script. Custom plans add dedicated support.
Every idea gets its own machine
Install the CLI, sign in once, and the first one is yours. Fork it the moment you need another.
