README

ClodPod - Run AI agents in a macOS VM sandbox

ClodPod creates a macOS virtual machine sandbox configured to run applications like Claude Code, Open AI Codex, Google Gemini, and Cursor Agent. It facilitates disabling AI permission prompts so you can get work done without risking your entire computer.

ClodPod maps any number of your project directories into the virtual machine so AI agents can work on your code while remaining isolated from your host computer.

ClodPod virtual machines include Xcode and common development tools, and it's easy to extend to add your own development tools and configuration files.

Key features

Builds a virtual machine and launches AI agents with access to your projects
Enables mapping multiple projects in the same virtual machine simultaneously
Open multiple AI agents sessions and shell prompts, or use the GUI
Bundled herdr agent multiplexer for running many agents in a single session
Headless mode for CI/CD workflows with --no-graphics
Includes Xcode and common development tools; you can add your own tools too
Fast rebuild and relaunch using a three-layer APFS CoW caching system
Named VM instances for switching between projects or worktree branches
Parallel VM execution with configurable memory budget
