What is sandboxed.sh?
Orb (formerly sandboxed.sh) is a self-hosted AI agent orchestration platform for running coding agents in three modes: locally on macOS, on private Linux servers with container isolation, or via cloud coordinators like Hermes and ChatGPT. The Rust backend manages projects, missions, and remote execution, with native macOS (Tauri/SolidJS) and iOS (SwiftUI) clients. Users bring their own AI subscriptions via OAuth or CLIProxyAPI Plus. Features include live mission steering, side-agent questions, durable wake-ups, workspace transfer, and rich transcripts. The backend runs on Linux via Docker or systemd with a REST API and MCP server. No public license file was found in the repository.
