One command to run parallel coding agents in sandboxes, local or cloud
Emerged finds new products worth a look, daily — what’s new today
If you let an agent run commands unattended, this is the cheapest way to bound what it can reach and keep a record of what it did in there.
OpenRod is a local web console, started with npx openrod, for creating isolated workspaces that coding agents run inside. Sandboxes sit on NVIDIA's OpenShell gateway, as VMs on Apple Silicon or containers under Docker, and each carries egress rules from a policy template plus an activity view of what happened inside. You can attach MCP servers and skills, and open a session in the browser, a terminal, VS Code or Cursor. Apache-2.0, 277 commits, 14 stars, independent of NVIDIA. The console has no login or multi-user support, and activity history and webhook credentials sit unencrypted.
