Why it matters

Useful for developers who want less context switching between Finder, terminal, previews, and changed-file tracking during AI-assisted coding sessions.

Who should use it

developers using Claude Code or Codexlocal-first Mac userspeople running several agent sessions in parallelteams debugging agent-generated file changes

Who should skip it

Skip if the source link, docs, or setup requirements do not match your workflow.

Risk explanation

FanBox is built to surface local files and drive coding agents from an embedded terminal, so start with non-sensitive projects until you trust the session visibility and filesystem boundaries..
