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.

worktree-compose features

  • Zero Config. Run `wtc start` and each worktree automatically receives its own isolated Docker Compose stack.
  • Port Isolation. Unique ports are assigned per worktree using a deterministic formula, eliminating collisions.
  • Container Isolation. Separate COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME, networks and volumes ensure containers don’t interfere.
  • File Sync. Compose files, Dockerfiles and .env are synced from the main branch before each start.
  • Env Injection. Port overrides are injected into .env without overwriting existing variables.
  • MCP Server. Built-in MCP server lets Claude Code, Codex and other AI agents manage stacks programmatically.
