ArcBox is a drop-in Docker Desktop alternative built from scratch in Rust. It provides four workload types: containers, AI agent sandboxes, Linux VMs, and macOS VMs. The sandbox feature offers sub-100ms boot times with isolated kernel, filesystem, and network — enabling AI agents to execute on real machines while maintaining security through Firecracker-based microVMs. Commands like ‘abctl claude’ provide direct integration for AI coding assistants.
