Pocketenv features

  • Multi-provider sandbox support. Run environments on Cloudflare, Deno, Vercel, Daytona, Modal, E2B and more via a single interface.
  • Instant disposable environments. Spin up isolated dev environments in seconds that are automatically destroyed when done.
  • Git repository loading. Clone and work with any Git repo directly inside the sandbox.
  • Secure port and service exposure. Expose ports and services safely without exposing your host network.
  • Browser-based VS Code. Launch a full VS Code instance in the browser from within the sandbox.
  • Reproducible environment sharing. Create shareable links that reproduce the exact sandbox state for collaborators.
  • Point-in-time backups. Rollback a sandbox to a previous state using built-in backup snapshots.
  • CLI installation. Install Pocketenv via a single curl command for quick local access.

Worktale features

  • Automatic commit capture. Silent post-commit hook records commit metadata into a local SQLite database.
  • Interactive TUI dashboard. Terminal UI shows overview, daily log, history, streaks and heatmaps.
  • AI session tracking. Captures tokens, cost, model and tools for Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode and Copilot.
  • Daily digest generation. Creates end-of-day summaries with notes for easy self-review.
  • Cross-repo support. Aggregates stats across all repositories on the machine.
  • Desktop app (optional). Native Tauri app mirrors CLI features with glassmorphic UI and keyboard shortcuts.
