## Description

sandboxd is an open-source AI application builder you run on your own hardware. It creates isolated containers for each project, each reachable through its own live preview link. Unused containers automatically pause and resume when needed. A browser-based console lets you chat with AI coding agents, edit files, review changes, and push to Git. A full REST API enables programmatic control. Supported agents include OpenCode (with a free tier) and Claude Code. You can start from a prompt, launch one of 80+ pre-packaged open-source apps, import a public Git repository, or use a framework starter. The stack is intentionally minimal: a Go control plane, Docker for containers, Traefik for routing, and SQLite for state — no Kubernetes or external database needed. Setup takes one command on Linux; macOS works through Docker Desktop. The code is MIT licensed with optional paid cloud tunneling and managed hosting services.
