Application Sandbox

Give each application a Linux sandbox with its own files, packages and processes. Start, pause or stop it from one app.

MCP for AI agents

Let an MCP client create a task sandbox, run Linux commands and read output. Keep a task’s packages and files across commands.

Live Dashboard

See running sandboxes, CPU activity, guest process memory, network rates and disk activity in one view.

Connect what you choose

Share selected Mac directories, choose read-only or read-write access, and map ports for local services. Pro unlocks these connections.

APPLICATION SANDBOX

Your application. Its own Linux sandbox.

Keep dependencies separate

Install Linux packages for one project without mixing them with another sandbox. Choose Alpine or another compatible public Arm64 image with Pro.

Keep files between sessions

Stopping a sandbox keeps its writable files. Restart it to continue working. Shared Mac directories stay at the locations you select.

Control the runtime

Use terminal tabs for interactive work. Configure CPU cores, directory mounts and network options for Pro sandboxes.

DASHBOARD

See what your sandboxes are doing.

Run your application, then watch its sandbox. Dashboard brings activity and storage together for terminal sandboxes and MCP tasks.

Know what is running

View sandbox state, terminal and agent counts, CPU usage, guest RSS and process counts.

Follow live activity

Read CPU history, network upload and download rates, and gLinux app disk I/O. CPU 100% represents one fully used core.

Track local storage

See writable sandbox data and downloaded image storage. Shared Mac folders and the bundled Alpine image are excluded.

IN PRACTICE / TERMINALS + AGENTS

Five sandboxes. One place to see them all.

API Server and CLI Workbench run as terminal sandboxes. Three demo MCP tasks run API checks, build checks and a file audit in separate sandboxes. Dashboard combines their activity and shows each sandbox’s type and state.

MCP · PRO

A Linux workspace your agent can use.

Connect an MCP client to gLinux. A task gets its own sandbox; repeated commands with the same task ID share installed packages and files.

  1. Create a sandboxglinux_task_start

    Start a separate Linux sandbox for a task. Outbound network and writable Mac mounts are enabled only when requested.

  2. Build, test or runglinux_task_exec

    Execute Linux commands and receive stdout, stderr and an exit code.

  3. Continue interactivelyglinux_task_shell_open

    Open a PTY shell and exchange input and output for longer-running work.

Workflow examples: compile an Arm64 command-line program, run a project’s Linux tests, or inspect a sandbox’s files. MCP tasks are listed separately from terminal sandboxes in the app.
