Show HN: Run AI coding agents in real, local sandboxes, not Git worktrees
superhq.aiHey HN, I built SuperHQ, an app that lets you run coding agents in local sandboxes (powered by Shuru).
No custom UI wrapping the agents, they run as CLI/TUI like they were designed to. It just provides you the tools most of us (okay, maybe just me?) needed for running multiple coding agents in parallel without worrying about breaking your system or work environment.
Each agent runs in its own microVM. You mount your projects in, writes go to a tmpfs overlay so your host is never touched, and you get a unified diff view to accept or discard changes. API keys never enter the sandbox, they are swapped in on the wire by a local proxy. You can also use your ChatGPT subscription directly instead of API keys through a local auth gateway.
Supports Pi, Codex and Claude Code. Looks cool! How many VMs can i run concurrently thanks! depends on your machine but it is surprisingly lightweight since it uses Apple's Virtualization.framework under the hood. I have comfortably run 3-4 sandboxes on an 8GB Mac. you can also configure CPUs, memory and disk per sandbox from the settings. Local sandboxes. Interesting
