The problem

  • 15 mins to code, 12 spent on setup
  • Different env on every machine
  • "Works on my machine" is your machine
  • AI tools with unchecked host access
  • Context switching kills momentum

The fix

  • Clone → Open → Code in 30 seconds
  • Same environment everywhere
  • Works on any machine with Docker
  • AI runs sandboxed in the container
  • Auto-save, smart git, persistent history

What's inside

🤖

AI assistants, sandboxed

Claude Code + GitHub Copilot pre-configured. They run inside the container — no access to your host credentials, SSH keys, or other projects.

💾

1-second auto-save

Kid screaming? Just walk away. Your work saves continuously. Persistent bash history survives container rebuilds.

⚡

Zero-config git

Stage and commit in one action. Auto dark/light theme. Smart file nesting hides noise. Every setting optimized for fast context switches.

🛡️

Security by default

After MCP security incidents burned real developers, this container isolates AI tools from your host. Defense in depth, not hopes and prayers.

🎨

Beautiful out of the box

JetBrains Mono with ligatures. Material icons. Bracket colorization. Quiet Light by day, Monokai by night. Looks good so you feel good.
