WhatA lightweight OS-level sandbox that isolates every developer tool, extension, and dependency in its own container with no access to SSH keys, tokens, or env vars outside its explicit scope.
SignalDevelopers widely acknowledge that sandboxing dev tools on Linux and macOS is extremely difficult, Electron apps resist sandboxing, and any installed tool can trivially slurp up all credentials on a machine — yet no good solution exists that developers will actually use.
Why NowElectron-based tools dominate the developer stack, credential theft via dev tooling is now the proven path to major breaches, and container/sandbox technology has matured enough to make per-tool isolation practical without crippling developer productivity.
MarketEnterprise IT/security teams buying for developer fleets; 20M+ professional developers globally. Competitors like Qubes OS are too heavy; nothing targets developer-tool-specific isolation at the right abstraction level.
MoatDeep OS-level integration and developer workflow compatibility create high switching costs; policy libraries for thousands of tools build a proprietary compatibility dataset.
