What is runtm?

runtm spins up isolated sandbox environments where Claude Code, Cursor and other coding agents can write, run and deploy software safely. It gives agents a controlled workspace instead of free rein on your machine, with environments you can create, inspect and tear down on demand.

Third-party open-source projects. We are not affiliated with their authors; repositories are provided as-is by their maintainers. Review each project's license, code and security before installing. See our Disclaimer.

Pros: what runtm does well

  • Isolated sandboxes keep agent work off your local machine
  • Works with popular coding agents like Claude Code and Cursor
  • Open source with an API for automation

Cons: where it falls short

  • Aimed at developers, not a consumer tool
  • Self-hosting and setup require infrastructure knowledge

Who runtm is for

Developers and teams who want coding agents to build and deploy inside safe, disposable environments.

Who can skip it

Non-technical users looking for a simple AI chat app.
