Sandbox your AI agents on macOS, see every action before it affects your system
Airlock runs Claude Code or Codex inside a virtual machine on your Mac, operating on a copy of your project so the real files stay untouched. You launch it with commands like airlock run claude or airlock run codex, and the agent works in the terminal as usual, installing needed languages and opening dev servers in your browser. While the agent runs, Airlock monitors every process inside the VM, recording file changes, network calls and scripts, and flags any activity that reaches non‑code hosts. When the session ends you receive a diff of all modified files; you can select which changes to apply, undo them later, and review flagged build scripts, git hooks or CI configurations. The tool supports Xcode projects by borrowing your existing Xcode installation, and works with React Native iOS folders. It can be installed via Homebrew and requires a Mac with Apple silicon running macOS 26 or later, plus a Claude subscription or a ChatGPT account for Codex.
