db Devboxes

Sandboxes that feel like real computers.

Full NixOS machines for every developer and every agent — isolated, reproducible, always on, and sharing a memory of every session.

One workspace layer. Machines, tools, secrets, memory — a full environment for every developer, and for every agent. The workspace you own.

Agent-native development has had two options. Both required compromise.

Agents on your laptop

Full power, but at a cost

  • Everything exposed — your keys, your browser, your files
  • One bad command away from a wiped machine
  • Sessions die when the lid closes
  • One computer — the agent works, or you do

Containers and cloud IDEs

Safety, but at a cost

  • Crippled runtimes — containers pretending to be computers
  • Per-seat rental that never ends
  • Cold starts — every session begins from zero
  • Someone else's cloud holding your code and secrets

For the first time, hard isolation, real machines, and shared memory in one workspace.

Real machines

  • Full NixOS VMs — not containers
  • Always on — work continues after you disconnect
  • SSH, Tailscale, mosh from anywhere

Hard isolation

  • VM boundary — agents can't reach the host
  • Keys never enter the VM
  • YOLO mode, actually safe

Declared in Nix

  • The whole system as code
  • Bit-for-bit rebuilds — no Docker, no drift
  • A new machine in seconds

Shared memory

  • Every session captured — all developers, all VMs
  • Plain-language search across the whole team
  • Agents recall past decisions on their own

Shared by design

Skills, MCP servers, git repos, and a common data store — declared once in the workspace layer, present on every machine, for every human and every agent.

Agents, preinstalled

claude-code, codex, opencode, and pi arrive preinstalled and auto-updated. VS Code and Zed connect over Remote-SSH out of the box.

Purpose-built for small, serious teams.

For consulting firms

One isolated workspace per client. Code, secrets, and session history never cross between engagements.

For tiny teams

Real infrastructure — SSO, git hosting, CI, build caches — without hiring an ops team to run it.

For SMB AI teams

Every developer and every agent gets the same machine, tools, and memory from day one.

One workspace your team and its agents can actually share.

Spin one up, invite people and agents, and never lose the work.
