OpenAI CLI
The OpenAI coding agent — running in a cloud workspace. Bring your OpenAI key. No local setup. Start in ~2 seconds.
The Problem
The Codex CLI needs Node.js installed, API keys configured per machine, and is stuck on your local machine. You can't run it on your phone, and keys can leak into shell history.
The Sandpods Way
Sandpods pre-installs Codex CLI and injects your OpenAI API key securely. Start a workspace from any device — phone, iPad, or shared machine — in about 2 seconds.
What you get
Add your OpenAI API key once in Sandpods Settings. It's encrypted and available in every Codex workspace — no per-machine config.
Launch from your phone, a borrowed laptop, or your IDE. The sandbox keeps running even when you close the tab.
Node.js 22, npm, pnpm, Bun, git, GitHub CLI — everything Codex needs to run tests and push code.
Your OpenAI key is hidden from the Codex agent context. No accidental leaks into chat history.
Run a dev server and get a public HTTPS link to share. Perfect for reviewing agent-built UIs.
Not just OpenAI — add any OpenRouter key and point Codex at any model. Zero per-workspace configuration.
