Hi HN! I built VibeBox because running agents locally was either risky, or endlessly interrupted by “allow/deny” prompts. I want agents to run commands, edit files, and execute code freely without touching my real machine.
VibeBox runs the agent inside a fully isolated Linux VM via Apple’s Virtualization Framework, so the host stays sealed off while the agent can work without permission spam.

What it does:
> One command drops you into a Debian VM that mounts your project read-write
> Configuration is simple: vibebox.toml sets CPU/RAM/disk and mounts.
> Warm startup is typically < 6 seconds on my M3, so jumping in/out is fast.
