# Pocketenv

> Open-source, multi-provider sandbox platform for running code safely in isolated environments.

Pocketenv lets you create and manage sandboxes — isolated compute environments — across multiple backend providers, all from a single CLI or SDK. Run AI agents, untrusted code, and experiments without touching your local machine.

## How it works

Pocketenv uses the [AT Protocol](https://atproto.com) to define sandboxes as portable, versioned records — meaning a sandbox definition is not locked to any one provider. You can move between Cloudflare, Daytona, Vercel, E2B, Modal, and more without changing your code.

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"catppuccin-latte","dark":"laserwave"}}
# Create a sandbox on any provider
pocketenv create my-app --provider daytona --base openclaw

# Run a command
pocketenv exec my-app "npm install && npm start"

# Open an interactive shell
pocketenv console my-app
```

```typescript theme={"theme":{"light":"catppuccin-latte","dark":"laserwave"}}
// Or use the SDK
import { Sandbox } from "@pocketenv/sdk";

const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({ name: "my-app", base: "openclaw" });
const result = await sandbox.sh`npm test`;
console.log(result.stdout);
await sandbox.stop();
```
