Drop
LaunchedA rootless Linux sandbox for isolating coding agents and third-party programs.
About Drop
Drop is a sandbox for Linux that runs without root. It isolates programs and coding agents while keeping your familiar work environment, so an agent run with permissions skipped cannot touch your real home directory, read your SSH keys or reach services on localhost. It also supports gVisor for stronger isolation, and the source is on GitHub.
