**Coding agents that keep working after you close your laptop.**

Box is a self-hosted phone UI for **real Claude Code and Codex sessions running on a machine you control**: a cheap VPS, a home server, or any always-on computer. SSH into it from your laptop when a terminal is easy; open Box from your phone when SSH is painful. New chats start in your normal workspace and can move across your filesystem, not inside a managed one-repo sandbox.

Why this exists

Laptop-hosted agents are great until the laptop goes to sleep. Official mobile remote control is useful, but if the bridge lives on your laptop, closing the lid ends the work. Managed cloud agents solve the uptime problem by giving you a new environment to set up, usually starting from "pick a repo." That is not how a lot of real work happens.

Box takes the simpler route: rent or run a server, install the coding CLIs there, keep the filesystem there, and put a good phone UI on top.

• The box stays awake. Long Claude Code and Codex runs can keep working overnight while your laptop is closed. A keeper process, dtach, and an optional Cloudflare tunnel keep the app reachable without opening ports.
• It is your machine. You can SSH in, install tools, keep local credentials in the usual places, run background jobs, inspect logs, and fix things directly. There is no hidden hosted sandbox between you and the agent.
• No repo picker. New chats start in CC_WORKSPACE (or your home directory) and can look across multiple repos, old projects, scratch folders, generated files, and local notes. If a task sp
