Run coding agents in microVM sandboxes instead of your host machine
Hi HN, we built SuperHQ, an open source app that runs AI coding agents in isolated microVM sandboxes instead of directly on your machine. Each agent gets its own VM with a full Debian environment. You mount your projects in, writes go to a tmpfs overlay so your host is never touched, and you get a diff view to accept or discard changes. API keys never enter the sandbox. We also just launched remote.superhq.ai which acts as a remote control for SuperHQ, allowing you to access your workspaces and agents from anywhere.

In plain words
SuperHQ is an open source application that runs AI coding agents within isolated microVM sandboxes rather than directly on a user's machine. Each agent operates in its own virtual machine with a complete Debian environment, while project files are mounted and changes are written to a temporary overlay, protecting the host system from modifications. Users review changes through a diff view before accepting or discarding them, and API keys remain outside the sandbox. The platform also offers remote.superhq.ai for accessing workspaces and agents from anywhere.

Sandboxed AI agent orchestration platform. Contribute to superhq-ai/superhq development by creating an account on GitHub.
A sandboxed AI agent orchestration platform built with Rust and GPUI . Run multiple AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) in isolated sandbox environments with full terminal access. Warning: This is a very early alpha. Expect rough edges, missing features, and breaking changes. Not ready for production use. brew tap superhq-ai/tap && brew install --cask superhq Or download the latest .dmg from the Releases page. macOS Gatekeeper: Since the app is not notarized, macOS will block it on first launch. Open System Settings > Privacy & Security , scroll down, and click "Open Anyway" next to the SuperHQ message. Agents run inside sandboxed VMs and never see your real API keys .

SuperHQApr 2026 · superhq.ai · ▲95Hey HN, I built SuperHQ, an app that lets you run coding agents in local sandboxes (powered by Shuru). No custom UI wrapping the agents, they run as CLI/TUI like they were designed to. It just provides you the tools most of us (okay, maybe just me?) needed for running multiple coding agents in parallel without worrying about breaking your system or work environment. Each agent runs in its own microVM. You mount your projects in, writes go to a tmpfs overlay so your host is never touched, and you get a unified diff view to accept or discard changes. API keys never enter the sandbox, they…
SupersetFeb 2026 · superset.sh · ▲541Hey HN, we’re Avi, Kiet, and Satya. We’re building Superset, an open-source terminal made for managing a bunch of coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, etc) in parallel. - Superset makes it easy to spin up git worktrees and automatically setup your environment - Agents and terminal tabs are isolated to worktrees, preventing conflicts - Built-in hooks [0] to notify when your coding agents are done/needs attention, - A diff viewer to review the changes and make PRs quickly We’re three engineers who’ve built and maintained large codebases, and kept wanting to work on as many features in…
Superset – Run 10 parallel coding agents on your machineDec 2025 · github.com · ▲24Hi HN, We’re Kiet, Avi, and Satya. We built an open-source desktop app that helps you run a lot of CLI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, etc. in parallel on your machine. The purpose is to keep you unblocked - spin up new coding tasks while others run, and quickly switch between them as they need your attention. Superset aims to be a superset of all the best AI coding tools. We want to support and stay compatible with whatever CLI agents you already use - improving your workflow instead of replacing it. How it works: - One-click Git worktree creation with automatic environment setup -…

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
